I've got several similar layouts but the warning says (emphasis mine) "This LinearLayout or its FrameLayout parent *may* be useless." I found that all of the cases in my app where the warnings said that it "is useless" were legitimate. Many of those "may be useless" cases were situations where I used layout_gravity="center", like you. I suppose there may be a more optimal layout, but in my case it isn't worth the effort to find it.
