Android Question CENTER_VERTICAL in label inconsistent across devices

[Martincg]

I am using labels with CENTER_VERTICAL. This works on my phone but on my tablet the text is at the bottom of the label.

I have tried adding this to Activity_Create
Label2.Gravity = Bit.Or(Gravity.BOTTOM, Gravity.CENTER_HORIZONTAL)

but it makes no difference.

If I set the label to BOTTOM, the text goes to the top on my tablet, and if I set the text to TOP is sits at the bottom. (I'm not holding my tablet upside down!)
On my phone whatever vertical alignment I set the text seems to be in the middle of the label.

Why is that? Different versions of Android? What should I be doing to get consistent text positioning on different devices?

I found this post by Erel.
"The native label doesn't allow changing the vertical alignment."

to which the reply was
"Oh Bugger"

Exactly.

I'll try with this
