I would suggest using the gravity attribute. If the layout fills the parent, then you should be able to use the gravity "bottom" I think. I would change to a LinearLayout for the top level element and make sure it fills the parent. Also, you can accomplish the spacing you need by using padding/margins in your elements. It will save a little memory from the jvm because it won't have to create instances of those elements.
Good luck. I am still mastering this layout stuff myself. -David On Aug 1, 3:17 pm, compositesForAndroid <volleyballm...@gmail.com> wrote: > I am new to android programming, i just started a few days ago, but I > have be using Java for about four years.
