Try this layout

    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:gravity="center">
    <TextView android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        andriod:text="Test"/>
    <Button android:layout_width="wrap_content"

Yes you can do this if your parrent layout is Relative Layout.

example is :

<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">

<Button
android:id="@+id/mBtn"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="I am a Button!"
android:layout_centerInParent="true" />

 <TextView
 android:id="@+id/mTxt"
 android:layout_width="wrap_content"
 android:layout_height="wrap_content"
 android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
 android:text"Some Text"
 android:layout_above="@+id/mBtn" />

</RelativeLayout>

Try this way

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >

  Button
    android:id="@+id/button1"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
    android:layout_centerVertical="true"
    android:text="Button" />

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/textView1"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_above="@+id/button1"
    android:layout_alignLeft="@+id/button1"
    android:layout_marginBottom="17dp"
    android:text="TextView" />
