How to center a View inside of an Android Layout?

Solution 1:

Step #1: Wrap whatever it is you want centered on the screen in a full-screen RelativeLayout.

Step #2: Give that child view (the one, which you want centered inside the RelativeLayout) the android:layout_centerInParent="true" attribute.

Solution 2:

You can apply a centering to any View, including a Layout, by using the XML attribute android:layout_gravity". You probably want to give it the value "center".

You can find a reference of possible values for this option here: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/LinearLayout.LayoutParams.html#attr_android:layout_gravity
