Whats wrong with my centerVertical and centerHorizontal code?

Not sure why this isn't working?

activity_movie.xml 
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  android:layout_width="match_parent"
  android:layout_height="match_parent"
  android:background="@android:color/white" >

  <TextView
    android:id="@+id/movieTitle"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:textSize="32sp"
    android:text="" 
    android:layout_centerHorizontal
    android:layout_centerVertical
            />
