How to center a two-line text in a TextView on Android?
If you just want to center it (I'm assuming the \n is working to split the lines), just add android:gravity="center_horizontal" rather than layout_gravity.
Using layout gravity moves the actual TextView, using gravity affects the content of the TextView.
Had to add both gravity and layout_gravity to align both TextView and its content
android:gravity="center_horizontal"android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
if your width is wrap_content, you have to set gravity and layout_gravity both as "center_horizontal"
<TextView android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="two\nlines" android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal" android:gravity="center_horizontal"/>However, if your width is "match_parent, you will only have to set gravity as "center_horizontal"
<TextView android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="two\nlines" android:gravity="center_horizontal"/>Hope it helps!
