If you want to center align text, use android:gravity="center" as follows:

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/lastMessage"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_marginTop="20dp"
    android:paddingLeft="10dp"
    android:paddingRight="10dp"
    android:layout_gravity="center"
    android:gravity="center"
    android:text="Mana addd asdwd ekff fec greq crrq grooe cieurnf covhrpw cjcneie ejducbc ueiche deidhe idhcecm ekwp ww"
    android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall"
    android:textSize="12sp" />
