How to Center Text Horizontally and Vertically in a Textview

How do I center text horizontally and vertically in a TextView?

I'm assuming you're using XML layout.

<TextView  
    android:layout_width="match_parent" 
    android:layout_height="match_parent" 
    android:gravity="center"
    android:text="@string/**yourtextstring**"
/>

You can also use gravity center_vertical or center_horizontal according to your need.

As @stealthcopter commented, in java: .setGravity(Gravity.CENTER);.

And for Kotlin users, .gravity = Gravity.CENTER

How to vertically align text within TextView

The problem is that your TextView's height is set to wrap_content. This means that the size of the text's container will be the same as the height of the text, thus there really is nowhere within the view to center the content (it is effectively already centered vertically).

If the LinearLayout that you posted only contains the ImageView and the TextView, then you can simple change the height to match_parent and it should work fine.

If the LinearLayout contains other Views, you might want to consider using a RelativeLayout and setting the TextView to align with both the top and bottom of the image.

center my text not only horizontally but also vertically in constraint layout edit pane

Instead of textAlignment you can use gravity attribute:

android:gravity="center"

XML sources of your TextView will be like that:

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/textView"
    android:layout_width="174dp"
    android:layout_height="64dp"
    android:gravity="center"
    android:text="TextView"
    app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />

Also, you can find this attribute in Design view:

It will solve your problem.

How to align Text to Top, Bottom and Center Vertically in Jetpack Compose?

You have to use a parent container and align the composable inside it.

For example a Box:

Box( 
    modifier = Modifier.fillMaxSize(),
    contentAlignment = Center
) {
    Text(
        text = "Text",
    )
}

or a Column:

Column(
    modifier = Modifier.fillMaxSize(),
    verticalArrangement = Arrangement.Center,
    horizontalAlignment = Alignment.CenterHorizontally
) {
    Text(
        text = "Text",
    )
}
