Question

I need to have various text view on a single line. And I want then to be in single line centered. As if they are written in single text view. So I used Linear layouts. But my problem is when i am tilting it to portrait orientation, text are dropping vertically. I want that if text are not fitting in screen then they must come to next line CENTERED on tilt. My problem is somewhat same as https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9596493/linear-layout-is-not-keeping-text-view-in-center. Please can any body help in this. My layout.xml is as below…..

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout 
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical">

            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:src="@drawable/map" />
    </LinearLayout>

Is there some other way to do this,Any help will be appreciated.
