Question

EDITED: I HAVE FOUND THE SOLUTION MYSELF. THANK YOU!

I want to create the following screen for an Android App:

Right now I have this:

with this code:

<?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="fill_parent"
    android:orientation="horizontal"
    android:weightSum="1" >

    <LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/linearLayout1"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:orientation="vertical"
        android:layout_weight=".65"
        android:weightSum="5" >

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/textView1"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="TOURNAMENT: "
            android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"/>
        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/textView1"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="GAME: "

            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:layout_marginLeft="10dp" />
        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/textView1"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="BEST OF: "
            android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:layout_marginLeft="10dp" />
        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/textView1"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="BRACKET STYLE: "
            android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:layout_marginLeft="10dp" />

    </LinearLayout>

    <LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/linearLayout1"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:orientation="vertical"
        android:layout_weight=".35"
        android:weightSum="5" >

        <EditText
            android:id="@+id/editText1"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:layout_marginRight="10dp" />

        <EditText
            android:id="@+id/editText1"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:layout_marginRight="10dp" />

        <EditText

            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:layout_marginRight="10dp" />
        <EditText
            android:id="@+id/editText1"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:layout_marginRight="10dp" />

        <RelativeLayout
            android:id="@+id/linearLayout1"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:orientation="horizontal"
            android:layout_weight="1" >

            <Button
                android:id="@+id/button2"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
                android:layout_centerVertical="true"
                android:layout_marginRight="15dp"
                android:text="CANCEL" />

            <Button
                android:id="@+id/button1"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_centerVertical="true"
                android:layout_toLeftOf="@+id/button2"
                android:text="CREATE" />

        </RelativeLayout>

</LinearLayout>

</LinearLayout>

The text can be aligned to the right using android:gravity=”right”, but how can I make it
centered vertically?

–> AISHH, it’s: android:gravity=”center_vertical|right”

Thank you!!

So this is the implementation I came up with. Not the best but worked for me 🙂

<LinearLayout
    android:id="@+id/linearLayout1"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_weight=".65"
    android:weightSum="5"
    android:paddingTop="10dp" >

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textView1"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="TOURNAMENT: "
        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
        android:gravity="center_vertical|right"/>
    <TextView
