How to set textview in center of G+ sign in button in Android

Question

I am having G+ signinbutton in my code and its working fine for login. I set it using below code in my xml

<com.google.android.gms.common.SignInButton
            android:id="@+id/btn_sign_in"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="50dp"
            android:textSize="15dp"
            android:layout_marginBottom="10dp"
            android:layout_marginLeft="2dp"
            android:layout_marginRight="2dp"
            />

What I have now is as below enter image description here

Now I want to set TextView to center of button. but, SignInButton doesn't seem to have android:gravity how can I set my TextView to center?

Instead of using this button can't u just create a custom one? — Abx, Jul 07 '15 at 07:01
why i need to create whole custom button when google is providing with one\ — karan, Jul 07 '15 at 07:02
Take a look at this question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11261692/keep-text-in-textview-with-drawableleft-centered --- also, wouldn't a compound drawable to the trick? — Mathieu Brouwers, Jul 07 '15 at 07:11

@Karan - use below code, it's working for me.

    SignInButton signInButton = ((SignInButton) findViewById(R.id.btn_sign_in));


    for (int i = 0; i < signInButton.getChildCount(); i++) {
        View v = signInButton.getChildAt(i);

        if (v instanceof TextView) {
            TextView tv = (TextView) v;
            tv.setPadding(0, 0, 20, 0);
            return;
        }
    }

where do i need to write this code? in on connect i guess – karan Jul 07 '15 at 08:44
@karanMer - use this code in your `Activity` or `Fragment` `class`. – Gaurav Vachhani Jul 07 '15 at 08:45
then it is generating a NPE – karan Jul 07 '15 at 08:46
did you initialize your `SignInButton` ? – Gaurav Vachhani Jul 07 '15 at 08:47
@KaranMer - i'm talking about `G+ button`. – Gaurav Vachhani Jul 07 '15 at 08:50
@KaranMer - no i didn't . – Gaurav Vachhani Jul 07 '15 at 08:59
i am adding your code to oncreate just after `SignInButton signInButton = ((SignInButton) findViewById(R.id.btn_sign_in)); ` – karan Jul 07 '15 at 09:03
@GauravVachhani Thanks, I was breaking my head over it for a while :) – Adithya Upadhya Aug 06 '16 at 18:03
It might suit better to use `break` instead of `return`. – jayeffkay Sep 06 '16 at 16:33
