How to centralize TextView text with its left drawable vertically

Question

I have a TextView with a bullet point drawable (which is a circle) on the left like below:

    <TextView
    android:id="@+id/lbl_route"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="Event Route"
    android:textAllCaps="true"
    android:textColor="@color/drives_event_route_color"
    android:drawableStart="@drawable/blue_bullet"
    android:drawableLeft="@drawable/blue_bullet"
    android:drawablePadding="2dp"
    android:textSize="@dimen/lbl_route_size" />

Currently, the text and the bullet is aligned on top with each other as shown here:

enter image description here

Is there a way to vertically centralize the bullet with the text?

make the actual height of drawable image same as textview height and place the bullet vertically center inside drawable. — Amrut Bidri, Jun 09 '15 at 05:47
make gravity as center_verticle like this may this help you `android:gravity="center_vertical"` — SAM, Jun 09 '15 at 05:57
@ScionofIkshvaku, I want the bullet image's height to be shorter than the text height — Tony Vu, Jun 09 '15 at 09:44
