Why this layout dont align the content of textview vertically?

Question

Why this layout dont align the content of textview vertically?

I already tried change by code too and few another things in XML, but nothing solved my problem.

• The string in textView is temporary, I change this, after, from code.

• This layout is for an adapter for a ListView.

  <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  android:id="@+id/item_lista_classe_personagem_layout"
  android:layout_width="match_parent"
  android:layout_height="match_parent"
  android:orientation="horizontal"
  android:layout_margin="5dp" >
  
  <ImageView
      android:id="@+id/imageCover"
      android:layout_width="70dp"
      android:layout_height="70dp"
      android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
      android:layout_marginBottom="5dp"
      android:contentDescription="@string/sem_imagem" />
  
  <TextView
      android:id="@+id/textView"
      android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/imageCover"
      android:layout_width="fill_parent"
      android:layout_height="fill_parent"
      android:gravity="center_vertical"
      android:text="@string/app_name"
      android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
      android:textColor="@color/Red" />
  
  </RelativeLayout>
  

Where I change string by code:

TextView textView = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.textView);
textView.setText(classePers.getNome());
textView.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER_VERTICAL);

ImageView is inside your RelativeLayout.

Instead, replace the line

   android:gravity="center_vertical"

BY

    android:layout_centerVertical="true"
