How set the android:gravity to TextView from Java side in Android

I can use android:gravity="bottom|center_horizontal" in xml on a textview to get my desired results, but I need to do this programmatically. My textview is inside a tablerow if that matters in a relativelayout.

I have tried:

LayoutParams layoutParams = new TableRow.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, Gravity.BOTTOM | Gravity.CENTER_HORIZONTAL);
labelTV.setLayoutParams(layoutParams);

But if I understand correctly, that would apply it to the tablerow, not the textview?

labelTV.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER | Gravity.BOTTOM);

Kotlin version (thanks to Thommy)

labelTV.gravity = Gravity.CENTER_HORIZONTAL or Gravity.BOTTOM

Also, are you talking about gravity or about layout_gravity? The latter won't work in a RelativeLayout.

This will center the text in a text view:

TextView ta = (TextView) findViewById(R.layout.text_view);
LayoutParams lp = new LayoutParams();
lp.gravity = Gravity.CENTER_HORIZONTAL;
ta.setLayoutParams(lp);

We can set layout gravity on any view like below way-

myView = findViewById(R.id.myView);
myView.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER_VERTICAL|Gravity.RIGHT);
 or
myView.setGravity(Gravity.BOTTOM);

This is equilent to below xml code

<...
 android:gravity="center_vertical|right"
 ...
 .../>

You should use textView.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER_HORIZONTAL);.

Remember that using

LinearLayout.LayoutParams layoutParams =new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
layoutParams2.gravity = Gravity.BOTTOM | Gravity.CENTER_HORIZONTAL;

won't work. This will set the gravity for the widget and not for it's text.

Use this code

        TextView textView = new TextView(YourActivity.this);
        textView.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER | Gravity.TOP);
        textView.setText("some text");
