In my case, I must set the weight property to 1 else the layout_gravity do not take effect.

android:layout_weight="1"

Add android:layout_gravity="center_vertical" to your TextView tag. Change your TextView tag as below

 <TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="left|center_vertical"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:text="text1"/>

Simply change TextView's android:layout_height to match_parent, this should do the job. Hope this helps.

Using center_vertical:

 <TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="left|center_vertical"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:text="text1"/>

Change this android:layout_gravity="left"

into this, 

 android:layout_gravity="left|center_vertical"

or 

android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"

for your TextView. 

<TextView
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_gravity="left|center_vertical" 
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:text="text1"/>
