In the documentation linked within the question, you'll see an attribute that allows you to set the horizontal alignment to be centred within the layout.
Applying that in code looks like:
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
You need to add that inside the attributes for the TextView
.
I hope that helps.
Steve.
