How to center image vertically in this RelativeLayout

android, android-layout

Solution

The gravity attribute is not for the layout, since that is a `LinearLayout` attribute, and your `ImageView` is inside your `RelativeLayout`. Instead, remove the line

android:gravity="center_vertical"

and add the line

android:layout_centerVertical="true"

Problem

I have below layout which basically show "messages" as bubble slimier to built-in "Messages". I just need to show also an arrow image on the right, th eimage is shown, but I need it to be centered vertically. I tried to add " `android:gravity="center_vertical"` to image, but it had no effect. any clue? ``` <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" > <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/wrapper" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:background="#00DBE2ED" > <RelativeLayout android:id="@+id/wrapper2" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:background="#00DBE2ED" > <EditText android:id="@+id/comment" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:editable="false" android:layout_marginTop="5dip" android:layout_marginRight="5dip" android:layout_marginLeft="5dip" android:background="@drawable/bubble_yellow" android:paddingLeft="10dip" android:text="Hello bubbles!" android:textColor="@android:color/primary_text_light" /> <TextView android:id="@+id/sender" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_margin="0dip" android:paddingLeft="5dip" android:paddingRight="2dip" android:text="Hello bubbles!" android:textColor="#b9dcdcdc" android:textSize="11sp" android:layout_below="@+id/comment" /> <ImageView android:id="@+id/aquaplayicon" android:src="@drawable/aquaplayicon" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:clickable="true" android:onClick="onClickGirl" android:layout_alignParentRight="true" android:paddingRight="3dip" android:gravity="center_vertical" /> </RelativeLayout> </LinearLayout> </LinearLayout> ```
