RelativeLayout center vertical

AndroidCenterAndroid Relativelayout

Android Problem Overview


I want to make a list row layout. This layout has a imageview in the most left, a textview right next to the imageview, and a imageview in the most right. I want all of them are center vertical.

<RelativeLayout
    android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="100dp"
    android:gravity="center_vertical"
    >
    <ImageView 
        android:id="@+id/icon"
        android:layout_width="50dp" android:layout_height="50dp"
        android:layout_gravity="center_vertical" />
    <TextView 
        android:id="@+id/func_text" android:layout_toRightOf="@id/icon"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="100dp"
        android:layout_gravity="center_vertical" />
    <ImageView 
        android:layout_width="50dp" android:layout_height="50dp"
        android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
        android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
        android:src="@drawable/arrow" />
</RelativeLayout>

I also tried to add android:layout_centerVertical="true" to the textview, but the result is the textview align bottom with the two imageview. I tried this in android 4.2 emulator. Anybody could help me about this?

Solution 1 - Android

use

 android:layout_centerVertical="true"

Solution 2 - Android

I have edited your layout. Check this code now.

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#33B5E5"
android:padding="5dp" >

<ImageView
    android:id="@+id/icon"
    android:layout_width="50dp"
    android:layout_height="50dp"
    android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
    android:layout_centerInParent="true"
    android:background="@android:drawable/ic_lock_lock" />

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/func_text"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="100dp"
    android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
    android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/icon"
    android:gravity="center"
    android:padding="5dp"
    android:text="This is my test string............"
    android:textColor="#FFFFFF" />

<ImageView
    android:layout_width="50dp"
    android:layout_height="50dp"
    android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
    android:layout_centerInParent="true"
    android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
    android:src="@android:drawable/ic_media_next" />

</RelativeLayout>

Solution 3 - Android

If View's height/width = wrap_content

use:

android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"

If View's height/width = match_parent

use:

android:gravity="center_vertical|center_horizontal"

Solution 4 - Android

Try aligning top and bottom of text view to one of the icon, this will make text view sharing same height as them, then set gravity to center_vertical to make the text inside text view center vertically.

<TextView 
        android:id="@+id/func_text" android:layout_toRightOf="@id/icon"
        android:layout_alignTop="@id/icon" android:layout_alignBottom="@id/icon"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:gravity="center_vertical" />
    

Solution 5 - Android

For me, I had to remove

<item name="android:gravity">center_vertical</item>

from RelativeLayout, so children's configuration would work:

<item name="android:layout_centerVertical">true</item>

Solution 6 - Android

This is working for me.

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:id="@+id/rell_main_bg"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:background="#096d74" > 
	
<ImageView 
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_centerVertical="true"
    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
    android:src="@drawable/img_logo_large"
    android:contentDescription="@null" />
	
</RelativeLayout>

Solution 7 - Android

This maybe because the textview is too high. Change android:layout_height of the textview to wrap_content or use

android:gravity="center_vertical"

Solution 8 - Android

Adding both android:layout_centerInParent and android:layout_centerVertical work for me to center ImageView both vertical and horizontal:

<ImageView
    ..
    android:layout_centerInParent="true"
    android:layout_centerVertical="true"
    />
