[android-beginners] Re: How to Align button to button of screen???
So that does not put my button at the bottom of the screen. Is that because I am using a LinearLayout? ?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8? LinearLayout xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android; android:orientation=vertical android:layout_width=fill_parent android:layout_height=fill_parent android:background=@drawable/blankscreen TextView android:layout_width=fill_parent android:layout_height=wrap_content android:text=@string/hello / Button android:layout_width=fill_parent android:layout_height=wrap_content android:gravity=bottom android:text=@string/btn_start_game / /LinearLayout brucko wrote: Matt, The second text view cannot have height = fill parent On Oct 27, 6:23 am, Matt Raffel matt.raf...@gmail.com wrote: I tried that :) I created a second textview control.

Depending on what you want to do, with the space in the middle, you could create a view that acts as an empty space holder and set its layout_height attribute to fill_parent. One simple way of doing this would be to use a TextView that only displays an empty string -- There are only 10 types of people in the world...

Yet another way is to use RelativeLayout as a root element (instead of LinearLayout) and set android:layout_alignTop and android:layout_alignBottom on TextView and Button respectively.

I tried that :) I created a second textview control. It ends up pushing the button off the bottom of the screen.
