Answer 1

Please change the following lines of code in

progress.xml file

android:layout_width="130dp"
android:layout_height="80dp"

to

android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"

It should display in the center of the screen now.

Hope this helps!

Edit: Please change the layout_width attribute of TextView to "wrap_content".

Answer 2

I don't know if it helps or not. But to fix the cropping issue of "Please wait" text. Change the layout_width to "wrap_content" like this

<TextView
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_marginTop="5dip"
    android:gravity="center"
    android:text="Please wait.."
    android:textColor="@color/black" />
