There are properties for each which you may use to make you view appear in the center.

Properties like android:layout_gravity which takes many options like center, center_vertical, center_horizontal | bottom etc. You may use an option that suits your requirement.

Also, for RelativeLayout, you have android:layout_centerInParent property.
