I was trying to create a 2x2 grid layout with one relative layout inside each position in the grid. Later on, inside each position, I'd like to create a button and center it in the relative layout in which this button is inside (which in this case is the parent, am I right?)
So, I was creating everything with no problem so far, but then I got stuck in centering the button.
I've used android:gravity="center_horizontal"
with android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
;
I've also tried using android:layout_gravity="center"
None seem to be working. I'll post my full xml code below - trying to center the first button in the first relative layout, but no success. I've done some research and couldn't find an answer that suits my case.

remove android:gravity="fill"
from RelativeLayout
and add android:layout_gravity="center"
<RelativeLayout
android:id="@+id/r_layout1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_column="0"
android:layout_columnWeight="1"
android:layout_row="0"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:layout_rowWeight="1"
>
<Button
android:id="@+id/button"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Button"/>
</RelativeLayout>
