Android move Button always to center

I have a little Chat application. At the bottom is the EditText line and a send button. In the EditText maxLines is set to 5. How can I move the button always to center_horizontal, even if new lines (1-5) are added to the textview? The button actually just stays at it's position.

My try:

<LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/llLine"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        android:gravity="center_horizontal"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" >

        <EditText
            android:id="@+id/txtChatline"
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_weight="0.70"
            android:hint="@string/hint_message"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:maxLength="500"
            android:maxLines="5"
            android:ems="10" />

        <Button
            android:id="@+id/cmdSendMessage"
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_weight="0.30"
            android:enabled="false"
            android:gravity="center"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="@string/send" />

    </LinearLayout>

If your EditText grows vertically, you need to use android:gravity="center_vertical".

(or android:gravity="center" if you want to use both, but I assume it was a mistake).
