Alignment issue for TextView

Question

I am displaying the TextView within a RelativeLayout .

I want to put the TextView at the center of the Layout.

Within the layout xml, for TextView am using the property android:gravity="center" is not working .

I do not want to hard code by using android:layout_marginLeft or Right since it can give different effect in portrait or landscape mode.

Is there property so that it looks the same for both landscape & portrait mode & the TextView occupies the center of the Layout

Answer 1

Since RelativeLayout is your TextView 's parent, you simply set android:layout_centerInParent="true" on your TextView . No other properties are needed.
