Issue with ListView alignment

Question

I have a listview in xml with both layout_width and layout_height as fill_parent.

I am using default layout supplied by android as android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1.But as it is default supplied by android i cannot make alignment in center.Default alignment is left-side. Anyway to do that.I know i can make my own textview and give as R.layout.my_textView.But anyway to make listview items in center with that defaule layout.

android:gravity="center_horizontal" perhaps too? here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1499555/android-layout-centering-in-relativelayout-for-custom-listview — Sergey Benner, Feb 14 '12 at 11:55

I'm trying to figure out the same thing where each row loads in the middle of the listview. — Drfrink, Oct 31 '14 at 21:59
@PradeepBhatu copy that default xml file and make your own with gravity center. — Android Killer, Nov 01 '14 at 18:07

can you put up your layout? the error may be that your missing "android:gravity="center""

@AndroidKiller http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5305632/android-centering-items-in-a-listview I don't think you have to do it with your ListView item but with your layout which you inflate in the getView() of your adapter for the row. – Sergey Benner Feb 14 '12 at 12:01

@AndroidKiller this link might enlighten you http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6304608/what-is-android-r-id-text1 practically you cannot do without overriding it elsewhere and how it looks like http://www.netmite.com/android/mydroid/frameworks/base/core/res/res/layout/simple_list_item_1.xml – Sergey Benner Feb 14 '12 at 12:21

Use a RelativeLayout and set android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"

UPDATE: This is the layout for a row

<?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" >

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/label"
        android:text="@+id/label"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:layout_centerVertical="true"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" />

</RelativeLayout>

You could override part of the layout of the system TextView in the getView method of your adapter by setting the gravity, margin or anything else there when the view is rendered.
