LinearLayout put child at the right side - android

I m trying to have a textview and a button in linear layout with horizontal orientation. The textview should appear at the starting and the button should appear at the end. I thought giving gravity right to the button would do the trick but the buttons doesn't move to the right side. I m thinking if I should probably use relative layout?
<\LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/productPriceTextView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Rs 3579.0"
/>
<Button
android:id="#+id/buyNowButton1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="right"
android:text="Buy Now" />
<\/LinearLayout>

My way (using a RelativeLayout):
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/productPriceTextView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:text="Rs 3579.0"
/>
<Button
android:id="#+id/buyNowButton1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:text="Buy Now"
/>
</RelativeLayout>
See how I explicitly align the TextView to the Parent's left side and the Button to the Parent's right side
You can then center the TextView vertically in the RelativeLayout, by setting:
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
in the TextView itself
Newr OS versions may prefer this:
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/productPriceTextView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
android:text="Rs 3579.0"
/>
<Button
android:id="#+id/buyNowButton1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentEnd="true"
android:text="Buy Now"
/>
</RelativeLayout>

Try below xml:
<?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="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/productPriceTextView1"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:text="Rs 3579.0"
/>
<Button
android:id="#+id/buyNowButton1"
android:layout_width="100dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="right"
android:text="Buy Now" />
</LinearLayout>

There is a cleaner way to do this, using LinearLayout : just give the left element a width of 0 and a weight of 1, and set the right one's width on wrap_content. And that's it!
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/productPriceTextView1"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="Rs 3579.0"
/>
<Button
android:id="#+id/buyNowButton1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Buy Now" />
</LinearLayout>

There are two approach:
1) You can use RelativeLayout in which you can drag your Button where you want..
2) You can use weight property for LinearLayout.
<?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="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/productPriceTextView1"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_weight="0.8"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:text="Rs 3579.0"
/>
<Button
android:id="#+id/buyNowButton1"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_weight="0.2"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="right"
android:text="Buy Now" />
</LinearLayout>

Use this layout instead..
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/productPriceTextView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Rs 3579.0"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentStart="true" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/buyNowButton1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Buy Now"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_alignParentEnd="true" />
</RelativeLayout>

use android:layout_gravity="end" to your linear layout to move all the elements to the right

Another simple solution here that doesn't rely on using a RelativeLayout is having an empty view between both elements using layout_weight to make sure it fills the empty space.
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/productPriceTextView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Rs 3579.0"/>
<view
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/buyNowButton1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="right"
android:text="Buy Now" />
</LinearLayout>
That way you can achieve what you want by only using a LinearLayout, now, I am not sure if this is more efficient than using a RelativeLayout. But for me it always feels a bit like an overkill to go for a relative in such a simple layout.

Just add empty view with 0dp width and 1 weight
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/productPriceTextView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Rs 3579.0"
/>
<View
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"/>
<Button
android:id="#+id/buyNowButton1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Buy Now" />
</LinearLayout>

Your ListView has a fixed height and is aligned with parent's bottom. Your LinearLayout with headers is put on top of the ListView. So based on vertical resolution of the screen there may or may not be a gap between the LinearLayout and the top of the screen. More specifically, if the screen is taller than 30+385 dp you'll see a gap.
What you probably want to do is align the headers layout with the top of the parent, align the list to the bottom of the headers and make lists's height "match_parent"
Edit: didn't notice the refresh button. You may also need to put
android:layout_above="#+id/refresh_button"
on the ListView

Layout - one button on top of two buttons

I'm inexperienced with Android and working on a layout that is supposed to have a bottom area with 3 buttons displayed this way:
I managed to almost get it like this, except that depending on the screen, the bottom buttons will be either overlapping each other or too far off. The buttons are supposed to be perfectly aligned below the "APPLY" button, but I can't seem to get it right.
Here's my current code:
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:paddingBottom="20dp">
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/relapply"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="50dp"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<Button
android:id="#+id/apply"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/ripple_buttons_carousel"
android:text="#string/apply_button"
android:textSize="15sp"
android:textColor="#android:color/white"
android:width="320dp"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" />
</RelativeLayout>
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:gravity="bottom"
android:layout_below="#id/relapply">
<Button
android:id="#+id/discard"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/ripple_buttons_carousel"
android:text="#string/discard_button"
android:textSize="15sp"
android:textColor="#android:color/white"
android:layout_marginStart="30dp"
android:width="154dp"
android:layout_alignParentStart="true"/>
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="12dp"
android:layout_height="30dp"
android:layout_toLeftOf="#id/save">
</RelativeLayout>
<Button
android:id="#+id/save"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/ripple_buttons_carousel"
android:text="#string/save_button"
android:textSize="15sp"
android:textColor="#android:color/white"
android:layout_marginEnd="30dp"
android:width="154dp"
android:layout_alignParentEnd="true" />
</RelativeLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
This is my code for the layout in which the buttons are in. And then everything's inside a linear layout xml test file I made. Any tips on how to improve this?
Thanks!
first of all you have way to much relative layouts, much more than you need.
you can try this layout here (I removed the background and hardcoded the text for demonstration purposes)
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="8dp">
<Button
android:id="#+id/apply"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:text="Top Button"
android:textColor="#android:color/white"
android:textSize="15sp" />
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#+id/apply"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<Button
android:id="#+id/discard"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="Bottom Left Button"
android:textColor="#android:color/white"
android:textSize="15sp" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/save"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="Bottom Right Button"
android:textColor="#android:color/white"
android:textSize="15sp" />
</LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
you can set the layout margins on the outer relative layout (e.g. android:layout_margin="8dp"
the layout works like this:
in the top row there is just the top Button. Below it there is a horizontal linear layout containing two buttons with
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
This ensures both buttons span equally horizontal (because they have the same width). If you want the whole layout have a specific width just set the android:layout_width="match_parent" from the relative layout to android:layout_width="320dp"
You can do as follow:
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:padding="16dp"
android:background="#color/background_floating_material_dark">
<Button
android:id="#+id/apply"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/ripple_buttons_carousel"
android:text="#string/apply_button"
android:textSize="15sp"
android:textColor="#android:color/white"
android:layout_marginBottom="10dp" />
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:weightSum="2">
<Button
android:id="#+id/discard"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/ripple_buttons_carousel"
android:text="#string/discard_button"
android:textSize="15sp"
android:textColor="#android:color/white"
android:layout_weight="0.9" />
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="0.2"></LinearLayout>
<Button
android:id="#+id/save"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/ripple_buttons_carousel"
android:text="#string/save_button"
android:textSize="15sp"
android:textColor="#android:color/white"
android:layout_weight="0.9" />
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
And the output is near about this:
You can also use following code.....
This is simple and easy.
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:padding="5dp">
<Button
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Apply" />
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:weightSum="2">
<Button
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginRight="5dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="Discard" />
<Button
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="Save" />
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>

Android layout - How to make the controls appear to the left/right without padding?

I have defined 3 controls on my screen, placed in the following order:
button
- textView
- button
I want to place the first button on the left side and place the textView in the middle. The second button should be on the right side.
However, I cannot find a way to force the buttons to stick to the left/right side and for the textView too stick to the middle.
This is the code:
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<Button
style="?android:attr/buttonStyleSmall"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="<<"
android:id="#+id/button2" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/TodayDataTextView"
android:text="Today Data"
android:textAlignment="center"
android:textColor="#0000ff"
android:background="#00000000"
android:layout_margin="5dp"
android:textSize="20dp"
android:textStyle="bold|italic" />
<Button
style="?android:attr/buttonStyleSmall"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text=">>"
android:id="#+id/button" />
</LinearLayout>
And this is the screenshot:
And this is what I want to have (without the padding):
Try this code :
<RelativeLayout
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<Button
style="?android:attr/buttonStyleSmall"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="<<"
android:id="#+id/button2"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentStart="true" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/TodayDataTextView"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:text="Today Data"
android:textAlignment="center"
android:textColor="#0000ff"
android:background="#00000000"
android:textSize="20dp"
android:textStyle="bold|italic"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" />
<Button
style="?android:attr/buttonStyleSmall"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text=">>"
android:id="#+id/button"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_alignParentEnd="true" />
Output :
set layoutgravity and gravity as left, center and right respectively for all the three widgets
You can try a RelativeLayout. Like this:
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<Button
style="?android:attr/buttonStyleSmall"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="<<"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:id="#+id/button2" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/TodayDataTextView"
android:text="Today Data"
android:textAlignment="center"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:textColor="#0000ff"
android:background="#00000000"
android:layout_margin="5dp"
android:textSize="20dp"
android:textStyle="bold|italic" />
<Button
style="?android:attr/buttonStyleSmall"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text=">>"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:id="#+id/button" />
</RelativeLayout>
Please use a Relative Layout instead of a LinearLayout.
Add to Button
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
Add to TextView
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
Add to the Right Button
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
You could use layout weights to get exactly what you are looking for:
<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="<<"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
/>
<TextView
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="Today Data"
android:textAlignment="center"
android:textStyle="bold|italic"
/>
<Button
style="?android:attr/buttonStyleSmall"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="<<"
android:id="#+id/button"
/>
Remember that Android makes two passes when determining the size and position of the components in a layout. The first pass uses the layout_width and layout_height settings. In this case it is wrap_content for most of the widgets which will make them their "natural" size to fit their content. The second pass uses the layout_weight attribute to allocate any remaining pixels. Given that this is a horizontal linear layout, those pixels will be allocate to the horizontal size of the widgets. Only the TextView specifies a weight attribute, so it will get 100% of the remaining pixels.
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="0.20"
android:gravity="left">
<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="<<" />
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:layout_weight="0.60"
android:gravity="center">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="data"
android:textSize="18sp" />
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="0.20"
android:gravity="right">
<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="<<" />
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
This is also working
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:weightSum="5">
<Button
style="?android:attr/buttonStyleSmall"
android:layout_width="0sp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:text="<<"
android:id="#+id/button2" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="0sp"
android:layout_weight="3"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/TodayDataTextView"
android:text="Today Data"
android:textAlignment="center"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:gravity="center"
android:textColor="#0000ff"
android:background="#00000000"
android:layout_margin="5dp"
android:textSize="20dp"
android:textStyle="bold|italic" />
<Button
style="?android:attr/buttonStyleSmall"
android:layout_width="0sp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginRight="15dp"
android:text=">>"
android:id="#+id/button" />
</LinearLayout>

Android GUI: Layout manager

I'm learning about Layout managers to improve my app design. For the most part it worked out ok. The only thing I want is my buttons to be positioned a little higher.I can achieve this by removing the 3 buttons from the layout manager but by doing this I have issues on lower res devices. (The buttons will position themselves over the EditText fields or position themselves over my ad at the bottom). I've tried some things I found online but I only ended up ruining the layout.
Here is my XML file:

You can:
Give up second linear layout and move button layout and ad layouts to main layout. Stick ad layout to bottom and declare it BEFORE button layout. Set buttons adjustments to layout_below="textfieldlayout" and layout_above="ad" instead of layout_alignParentBottom="true".
Consider using linear layout with weightSum. Every parent layout should have weightSum=100, every child will respectively have % of space. From my point of view this way would be the best, because views will position equally for merely all devices and even layout tree depth will remain the same. You'll only have to change the parent layout to LinearLayout and set weights.

android layout textview between two button

I have comman header with two button and single textview.
textview is in center of the screen. button 1 is at the right side of the parent and button2 is at the left side of the parent.
now, I want to show text view in the center of the parent not in the center of the space between two buttons.
Text length in the textview can be any thing either it could be 3 words or it could be more than 10 word.
I dont want to overlap textview above the two buttons while length is more than 10 words.
and also I want textview in the center of the screen while there is only 3 words.
When I am using below code it is not showing textview in the center of the screen horizontally when there is only 3 to 4 words but below code also dont overlap while there is more than 10 words.
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".Webviewdemo" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/button1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:background="#drawable/backbtn" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/button2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:background="#drawable/infobtn" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:layout_toLeftOf="#+id/button2"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/button1"
android:gravity="center"
android:singleLine="true"
android:text="123"
android:textSize="22sp"/>
</RelativeLayout>
In same way When I am using below code it is showing textview in the center of the screen horizontally when there is only 3 to 4 words but below code overlap while there is more than 10 words.
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".Webviewdemo" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/button1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:background="#drawable/backbtn" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/button2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:background="#drawable/infobtn" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:gravity="center"
android:singleLine="true"
android:text="123"
android:textSize="22sp" />
</RelativeLayout>
So, My question is how can I achive above both thing with single code.
Textview should not overlap while there is more words.
Textview should be in center while there is less no of words.
I hope you all get my problem. if any query plz ask.
<LinearLayout

The above code will help you
Use This Code
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:gravity="left">
<Button
android:id="#+id/button1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Button" />
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:gravity="center">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Large Text"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" />
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:gravity="right" >
<Button
android:id="#+id/button2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Button" />
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
try this code
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_toLeftOf="#+id/button2"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/button1"
android:gravity="center"
android:singleLine="true"
android:text="123"
android:textSize="22sp"/>
EDIT
remove this line
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
try this (without centerInParent)
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_toLeftOf="#+id/button2"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/button1"
android:gravity="center"
android:singleLine="true"
android:text="123"
android:textSize="22sp"/>
