I'm not at home right now so I can't test it, maybe tomorrow: swap the
root linear layout for a relative layout. Move up the TextView, set
its alignBottom to the root RelativeLayout and set its height to
wrap_content. Then configure your inner RelativeLayout's alignBottom
to the TextView. Its height should be set to fill_parent. I could post
the code and some links tomorrow.
