The layout XML is :

    <?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="wrap_content"

    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="200dip"
    >

    android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
    android:layout_gravity="center"

    ></ProgressBar>
    </LinearLayout>

</LinearLayout>

    You could give the linear layout enclosing the progress bar android:gravity="center".
    This will make the progress bar centered.

    It seems progress bar utilizes the ViewGroup.LayoutParams. This class does not support layout_gravity such as LinearLayout.LayoutParams. So you will require to use the gravity property of the parent linear layout. This is a pretty good explanation of gravity in android.
