Good luck with that one... i tried but no luck. If you think about it, it makes sense that this is not 'easy' to do with the standard controls (like the text view).
The text-view knows about its parent (the rel. layout), not about its siblings (imageview). If you center the text-view in the parent, the largest extent of the text-view is the left-and right border of the parent. The text-view doesn't know about the imageview and where it exactly is and can not position itself or its text relative to the image-view borders. You can also specify instead that the text-view is right-aligned and is 'to-the-right-of' the imageview and the text inside the text-view is centered. However, that will put the text off-center, a bit too much to the right. I 'solved' it by putting an equal amount of empty space (an empty View) to the right of the text-view: imageview: left aligned, with specific width. textview: right-of imageview, left-of emptyview. Text is centered. emptyview: right aligned, with same width as imageview. This solution is not perfect, since the text will never go all the way to the right. But then, again, this does make some sense, since the text doesn't go all the way to the left either. If the text would extend all the way to the right and not all the way to the left, the text would appear off-center.
