android - How do I center text horizontally and vertically in a TextView?

How do I center the text horizontally and vertically in a TextView, so that it appears exactly in the middle of the TextView in Android?

Answer

I'm assuming you're using XML layout.

    android:layout_width="match_parent" 
    android:layout_height="match_parent" 
    android:gravity="center"
    android:text="@string/**yourtextstring**"
/>

You can also use gravity center_vertical or center_horizontal according to your need.

and as @stealthcopter commented
in java: .setGravity(Gravity.CENTER);
