Answer 1

The above conditional setTextAlignment() OR setGravity() solution didn't work for me.

For bulletproof centered text:

1. Always apply setGravity()
2. Apply setTextAlignment() for API >= 17

And note the support library change in AndroidX. If using AndroidX, lookup the TextView by com.google.android.material.R.id.snackbar_text instead of android.support.design.R.id.snackbar_text.

Code:

TextView sbTextView = (TextView) findViewById(com.google.android.material.R.id.snackbar_text);

sbTextView.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER_HORIZONTAL);

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN_MR1) {
    sbTextView.setTextAlignment(View.TEXT_ALIGNMENT_CENTER);
}
