    <p>I have a bunch of buttons on a very complex layout. Problem is that what ever I do, buttons won't center text inside them. I tried adding android:gravity="center", I tried setting the gravity from code, I tried removing all formatting from the button. What am I doing wrong? Text on the button needs to be centered.</p> <p>This is my layout:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt; </code></pre> <p> </p> <pre><code>&lt;FrameLayout android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="130dp" android:layout_gravity="center" android:orientation="vertical"&gt; &lt;!-- android:background="@drawable/picture_frame_94x94_suggested_matches" --&gt; &lt;ImageView android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:src="@drawable/picture_unknown" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:scaleType="centerInside" android:paddingTop="12dp" android:paddingBottom="40dp" android:id="@+id/suggest_icon" android:layout_gravity="center"&gt;&lt;/ImageView&gt; &lt;TextView android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal|bottom" android:paddingLeft="4dp" android:paddingRight="4dp" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:id="@+id/suggest_name" android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" android:paddingBottom="12dp" android:textColor="@color/black"&gt;&lt;/TextView&gt; &lt;/FrameLayout&gt; &lt;LinearLayout android:orientation="horizontal" android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_weight="0.4"&gt; &lt;Button android:id="@+id/unmatch_button" android:text="Un-match" android:textColor="@color/white" android:background="@drawable/button_background" android:layout_gravity="center_vertical" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginRight="8dp" android:layout_marginLeft="8dp" android:gravity="center" android:visibility="gone" android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" /&gt; &lt;Button android:id="@+id/nextmatch_button" android:text="@string/next" android:textColor="@color/white" android:background="@drawable/button_background" android:layout_gravity="center_vertical" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginRight="8dp" layout_marginLeft="8dp" android:gravity="center" android:visibility="gone" android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" /&gt;

&lt;include layout="@layout/facebook_list" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" /&gt; &lt;View android:id="@+id/list_devider" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="1dp" android:background="?android:attr/listDivider" android:visibility="gone" /&gt;

&lt;/LinearLayout&gt; </code></pre> <p> This is XML of the dialog background:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt; </code></pre> <p></p> <pre><code>&lt;solid android:color="#969798" /&gt; &lt;stroke android:width="3dp" android:color="#7dd6ee" /&gt; &lt;corners android:bottomRightRadius="6dp" android:bottomLeftRadius="6dp" android:topLeftRadius="6dp" android:topRightRadius="6dp"/&gt; </code></pre> <p></p> <p>screenshot: <a href="http://i39.tinypic.com/fc8aoo.png" rel="nofollow">http://i39.tinypic.com/fc8aoo.png</a></p> <p>This is sample button initialization:</p> <pre><code> nextButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.nextmatch_button); nextButton.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE); nextButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() { @Override public void onClick(View v) { new Thread(new Runnable() { public void run() { // bunch of code }); nextButton.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER); </code></pre> <p>This is definition of button background:</p> <pre><code> &lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt; &lt;selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"&gt; &lt;item android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@drawable/button_small_hover" /&gt; &lt;item android:state_focused="true" android:drawable="@drawable/button_small_hover" /&gt; &lt;item android:state_enabled="false" android:drawable="@drawable/button_small2_disabled" /&gt; &lt;item android:drawable="@drawable/button_small2" /&gt; &lt;/selector&gt; </code></pre> <p>What is causing text to be left aligned instead of centered what ever I do with it? I can't seem to figure it out. </p>

Guidance
A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
