Centering GridView in RelativeLayout

I'm trying to center my GridView in a RelativeLayout. I set the GridView's height to wrap_content and gravity of the RelativeLayout is center, but the GridView is still aligned at the top. Here is what I have:

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:gravity="center"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context="com.example.sixerstrivia.MainActivity" >

    <GridView
        android:id="@+id/dashboardGrid"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginLeft="20dip"
        android:layout_marginRight="20dip"
        android:columnWidth="100dp"
        android:horizontalSpacing="20dp"
        android:numColumns="2"
        android:stretchMode="columnWidth"
        android:verticalSpacing="20dp" >
    </GridView>

</RelativeLayout>

How can I center this? Thanks

Please add these to your GridView: android:layout_centerVertical="true" and android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"

Instead of using android:gravity on your RelativeLayout, you should use android:layout_centerVertical:

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context="com.example.sixerstrivia.MainActivity" >

    <GridView
        android:id="@+id/dashboardGrid"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginLeft="20dip"
        android:layout_marginRight="20dip"
        android:layout_centerVertical="true"
        android:columnWidth="100dp"
        android:horizontalSpacing="20dp"
        android:numColumns="2"
        android:stretchMode="columnWidth"
        android:verticalSpacing="20dp" >
    </GridView>

</RelativeLayout>

Remove center gravity from the RelativeLayout. add this to your GridView:

            android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
