Here is the solution. File: BT_viewUtilities.java Line: around 142, you'll see this: //reference to text view in act_title.xml file... TextView titleText = (TextView) titleView.findViewById(R.id.titleView); titleText.setText(navBarTitleText); Change it to: //reference to text view in act_title.xml file... TextView titleText = (TextView) titleView.findViewById(R.id.titleView); titleText.setText(navBarTitleText); titleText.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER); Enjoy!

It is so great to have more Android expertise in the community. The clients are begging for both Android and iOS. Comments Thanks, @tomtom!
