[android-developers] RelativeLayout Bottom Alignment

[Gopalan R C]

Hi All, 

I have a requirement that a view (for instance, Button) has to be aligned 
at the bottom of a RelativeLayout, which has some background image.

When I give bottom alignment the view (Button), the background of 
RelativeLayout is stretched. Why is it behaving so? I have attached my 
layout xml here. Please tell me the reason. I know it can be done by some 
other layout. But, I want to know the reason why RelativeLayout is behaving 
like this.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android";
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

    <RelativeLayout
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:background="@drawable/bg" >

        <Button
            android:id="@+id/button1"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
            android:text="Button" />

    </RelativeLayout>

</LinearLayout>
