Question

So I am trying to center my applications title using the first activity.java class that one starts out with.

Here is my code

    @Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
   -----setTitle(R.string.app_name1); //Sets the title for this activity using the app_name1 string
    setContentView(R.layout.main);

So the line with the “—–” is my code for my title(Of course there not in my real code just on this question). I am using the string app_name to pull the title from so how exactly would I be able to center it? Thank you!

For Centering Title bar at Center you can create custom title bar as:

        setContentView(R.layout.main);
        getWindow().setFeatureInt(Window.FEATURE_CUSTOM_TITLE,
R.layout.title_bar);

title_bar.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<RelativeLayout 
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/linear" 
    android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
    >
    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/centertxt"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="title bar"
        android:layout_centerInParent="true"
        android:layout_marginLeft="5dip"
        android:textStyle="bold"
        android:textColor="#ffffff"
        android:textSize="20sp"
       />
    </RelativeLayout >
