Question

How do I center text horizontally and vertical in a TextView in Android? So that it appears exactly in the middle of the screen.

Answer 1

I'm assuming you're using XML layout.

<TextView  
    android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
    android:layout_height="fill_parent" 
    android:gravity="center_vertical|center_horizontal"
    android:text="@string/**yourtextstring**"
/>
