With RelativeLayout use:

android:layout_centerInParent="true"

with 

android:layout_width="wrap_content"

you using this wrong for your RelativeLayout

    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"

it should be 

android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_width="match_parent"

In the layout, RelativeLayout's width is set to wrap-content, its not taking the entire available width at all. It's contents are being centered but their parent View is shrinking to fit around them.

try fill_parent for root:

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"

Also, a LinearLayout with orientation="vertical" and gravity="center_horizontal" will do the same, more easily.

use [android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"] under RelativeLayout layout, then it will work

<RelativeLayout 
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
