RelativeLayout gravity center not working
android, android-relativelayout, center, gravity
Solution
I answered a similar issue involving three views without using nested ViewGroups.

This is tested in API 11.
For the two view horizontal case:
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:gravity="center"
android:background="@android:color/black"
>
<Button
android:id="@+id/apply"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:text="APPLY"
android:textSize="20sp"
/>
<Button
android:id="@+id/undo"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:text="UNDO"
android:textSize="20sp"
android:layout_toRightOf="@id/apply"
/>
</RelativeLayout>
For the two view vertical case:
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:gravity="center"
android:background="@android:color/black"
>
<Button
android:id="@+id/apply"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:text="APPLY"
android:textSize="20sp"
/>
<Button
android:id="@+id/undo"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:text="UNDO"
android:textSize="20sp"
android:layout_below="@id/apply"
/>
</RelativeLayout>
Problem
I'm trying to horizontally center several views in a `RelativeLayout` that is a base. ``` <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:gravity="center_horizontal" android:background="@android:color/transparent" > ``` This isn't working. I have set `centerInParent` to `true` for one of the views and that did work. However, I can't use this solution because I have 2 views side by side that need to be centered together. Trying to optimize this so I want to avoid nesting layouts, especially Linear, inside of each other. Is there something obvious that I'm missing? I thought this attribute is made for this situation.
