Try this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"; android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:gravity="center" > <LinearLayout android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:gravity="center" > <Button android:id="@+id/btn1" android:layout_width="300px" android:layout_height="50px" android:textAlign="center" android:padding="15px" android:text="1"/> <Button android:id="@+id/btn2" android:layout_width="300px" android:layout_height="50px" android:textAlign="center" android:padding="15px" android:text="2"/> <Button android:id="@+id/btn3" android:layout_width="300px" android:layout_height="50px" android:textAlign="center" android:padding="15px" android:text="3"/> <Button android:id="@+id/btn4" android:layout_width="300px" android:layout_height="50px" android:textAlign="center" android:padding="15px" android:text="4"/> </LinearLayout> </LinearLayout> I'll admit I'm not 100% certain why both gravity:"center" attributes are needed -- I'd've expected the one on the outer-most LinearLayout would have done the trick. But, this seems to give the visual effect you're looking for, if I understood you correctly. -- Mark Murphy http://commonsware.com The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development -- coming in June 2008! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
