Use Relative Layout, it always gives more accurate and flexible layout

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >

<ImageView
    android:id="@+id/imageView"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_centerInParent="true"
    android:src="@drawable/ic_launcher" />
</RelativeLayout>

Answer 3

Set width of your textview to wrap_content, and set your LinearLayout to

android:gravity="center_horizontal"

Answer 4

None of the other answers worked for me. I had to use android:textAlignment="center"

My layouts were as follows

<LinearLayout...
    <RelativeLayout...
        <RelativeLayout....
            <TextView
                android:layout_centerInParent="true"
                android:textAlignment="center"
