Why can't I set the gravity for my view

I want to set the gravity of a view (in my .java file) but for some reason it can't be done this time (it states that there is no such method). But normally setGravity(Gravity.CENTER); will just be considered valid code.

So why can't it be done all the time? What should I do when I can't set the gravity of a view but I still want to align it to mid( like setGravity(Gravity.CENTER);)?

AScrollView middle = new AScrollView(context);

RelativeLayout.LayoutParams formid = 
new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(width,LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);

middle.setLayoutParams(formid);

middle.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER); //This can't be done..

        ScrollView middle = new ScrollView(this);
        middle.setLayoutParams(newLayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,Gravity.CENTER));

Layout Gravity is not supported by RelativeLayout. It is supported e.g. by LinearLayout where you can set it via the public property gravity of the LinearLayout.LayoutParams class.

I can't say exactly why you can't set Gravity on ScrollView but I'm pretty sure you can't. However, if you have a ScrollView then you should have some Layout or content inside of it to scroll. Simply set the Gravity on that Layout and it should give you the effect you want
