layout_gravity in LinearLayout

android, android-layout, android-linearlayout, layout-gravity

Solution

That's not the way in which `android:layout_gravity` works. Both, `left` and `center_horizontal` parameters work only when the `android:orientation` is `vertical`. To achieve what you want, you better use `RelativeLayout`:

  <RelativeLayout
        android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
        android:layout_height="wrap_content">

        <ImageView   
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:layout_marginLeft="5dip"/>

        <TextView 
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"  
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:textColor="#ffffff"/>
  </RelativeLayout>

Problem

This is my layout: ``` <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:id="@+id/LinearLayout1" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:orientation="vertical" > <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:id="@+id/LinearLayout2" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:orientation="horizontal" > <ImageView android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_gravity="left" android:layout_marginLeft="5dip" /> <TextView android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal" android:textColor="#ffffff" > </TextView> </LinearLayout> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:id="@+id/LinearLayout3" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:orientation="horizontal" > <Button android:id="@+id/nazajGumb" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_gravity="center" android:text="@string/roaming_backbtn" > </Button> <Button android:id="@+id/homeBtn" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_gravity="right" android:text="@string/roaming_homebtn" > </Button> </LinearLayout> <Spinner android:id="@+id/spinner" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal" android:layout_marginTop="15dip" android:prompt="@string/roaming_spinnerPrompt" /> <TextView android:id="@+id/tv1" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal" android:text="Random text" android:textColor="#ffffcc" /> <Button android:id="@+id/testBtn" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_gravity="center" android:text="test" > </Button> </LinearLayout> ``` The positioning of ImageView and TextView in LinearLayout2 and positiong of buttons in LinearLayout3 is not working (using layout gravity). What am i missing here?
