Question

I have a layouting problem with my android application:

I have a Listview consiting of items which are using the following layout:

<?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:minHeight="40px"
android:orientation="horizontal">

 <TextView android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"  android:textSize="20px"       android:id="@+id/track_position" android:layout_width="wrap_content"  android:layout_height="wrap_content"></TextView>

<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
>
<TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
 android:id="@+id/track_name"
  android:layout_width="wrap_content"
  android:layout_height="wrap_content"
  android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
  android:paddingLeft="8dip"
  android:textSize="14px"
/>
<TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
 android:id="@+id/track_artist"
  android:layout_width="wrap_content"
  android:layout_height="wrap_content"
  android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
  android:paddingLeft="8dip"
  android:textSize="8px"

/>

This comes up with the following result:

But i would like to have the tracks title and subtitle centered as well. like that:

So AFAIK i did everything so that this would be the result.

Answer 1

You need

android:gravity="center_vertical"

On the LinearLayout containing the two textViews, like this:

<?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:minHeight="40px"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<TextView
    android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
    android:textSize="20px"
    android:id="@+id/track_position"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content">
</TextView>
<LinearLayout
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:gravity="center_vertical"
    android:layout_gravity="center_vertical">
    <TextView
        xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:id="@+id/track_name"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
        android:paddingLeft="8dip"
        android:textSize="14px" />
    <TextView
        xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:id="@+id/track_artist"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
        android:paddingLeft="8dip"
        android:textSize="8px" />
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
