android:gravity controls the appearance within the TextView. So if you had two lines of text they would be centered within the bounds of the TextView. Try android:layout_centerHorizontal="true".

use layout_centerInParent="true"(layout_centerInHorizontal,layout_centerInVertical)

gravity means the algin of text on textview, not the view itself
