different screen sizes/gravity

I've tested the look of the daily_list_Item layout on several devices and it looks fine. But on my Galaxy S3 the temperature is not centered inside the TextView. This is how it looks https://www.dropbox.com/s/dccho7l0m3verg1/DailyForecast.png?dl=0.

Here is the XML

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:paddingBottom="4dp" android:paddingTop="4dp" android:paddingLeft="32dp" android:paddingRight="32dp" tools:background = "#ffaa00">

<ImageView
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:id="@+id/circleImageView"
    android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
    android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
    android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
    android:src="@drawable/bg_temperature"/>

<ImageView
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:id="@+id/iconImageView"
    android:src="@drawable/clear_day"
    android:layout_centerVertical="true"
    android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/circleImageView"
    android:paddingLeft="10dp"
    android:layout_toEndOf="@+id/circleImageView"/>

<TextView
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:id="@+id/dayNameLabel"
    android:layout_centerVertical="true"
    android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/iconImageView"
    android:layout_toEndOf="@+id/iconImageView"
    android:textColor="#ffffffff"
    android:textSize="20sp"
    android:paddingLeft="10dp"
    tools:text = "Wednesday"/>

<TextView
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:id="@+id/temperatureLabel"
    android:layout_alignTop="@+id/circleImageView"
    android:layout_alignBottom="@+id/circleImageView"
    android:layout_alignStart="@+id/circleImageView"
    android:layout_alignEnd="@+id/circleImageView"
    tools:text = "100"
    android:textColor="#f25019"
    android:layout_alignParentEnd="false"
    android:gravity="center"/>

</RelativeLayout>

The gravity is set to "center", but it doesn't work. :(

You can try

android:layout_centerInParent="true"

or you can try setting it in code

TextView textView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.temperatureLabel); textView.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER_HORIZONTAL); textView.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER_VERTICAL);

I think the issue might be caused by Samsung altering the Android OS too much so things don't work smoothly.
