If your button is in LinearLayout then just set gravity center to your button.

android:gravity="center

Your code works perfectly, try to change your gravity like

<Button
            android:id="@+id/select"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:text="@string/btn_selectcontact_title"
            android:background="@color/button_bg_state"
            android:textColor="@color/button_state"
            android:gravity="center_horizontal|center_vertical" --> similar to center
            />

add this to your button android:gravity="right|center_vertical"

<Button
            android:id="@+id/select"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:text="@string/btn_selectcontact_title"
            android:background="@color/button_bg_state"
            android:textColor="@color/button_state"
            android:gravity="right|center_vertical <!-- <HERE -->
            />
