Any way to center a view?

Question

I noticed in the properties of the designer you can center the text in a label, etc. did not see anything that allows you to center the view itself.

For example, I looked at the properties for a button. There is Horizontal Alignment and Vertical Alignment for Text Style but I don't see anything like that for Button Properties.

Is there a way to control the button alignment?

Thanks.

Answer 1

You will need to do it programmatically:

Sub CenterView(v As View, parent As View)
    v.Left = parent.Width / 2 - v.Width / 2
    v.Top = parent.Height / 2 - v.Height / 2
End Sub

For example:

CenterView(button1, Activity)

Answer 2

If you do have access to the .xml files ( I'm no basic4android expert ), you can look into the properies layout_gravity and gravity, depending on how you want to center.

Good luck!
