Center This Android Layout?

I can't for the life of me figure out how to get my box centered on BOTH the horizontal and vertical.

Download Google Chrome to see this image.

Heres my xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:background="@drawable/dragon"
    android:orientation="vertical" >
        
    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="center"
        android:background="@drawable/playerinfosquare"
        android:orientation="vertical">

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/spellinfotitle"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
            android:layout_margin="10px"
            android:text="Spellventory"
            android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" />
        
        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/spell1info"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
            android:layout_margin="10px"
            android:text="No Spell Equipped"
            android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" />
        
        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/spell2info"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
            android:layout_margin="10px"
            android:text="No Spell Equipped"
            android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" />
        
        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/spell3info"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
            android:layout_margin="10px"
            android:text="No Spell Equipped"
            android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" />
    
    </LinearLayout>

</LinearLayout>

Help?

Are you kidding me? Stack overflow thinks it knows better than me and says that I don't have enough content to explain my code sections. Well, here you go! This is what you get for having arbitrary rules that don't always make sense.

You need to set android:gravity="center" on your first LinearLayout.

Put your second LinearLayout into a RelativeLayout. You can then center it much easier by setting 

android:layout_centerInParent="true"

on the second LinearLayout
