The inner LinearLayout has its width set to "fill_parent" so you are
trying to center something that is full width.
Try:
<LinearLayout android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center_horizontal">
<LinearLayout android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<TextView android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Name: "
android:paddingRight="4px"/>
<TextView android:id="@+id/Name"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Fred"/>
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
