Another option would be to put your title in a LinearLayout with weight 1 so that it takes up all the vertical space except for the space the button takes up.
<?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"> <LinearLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_weight="1"> <TextView android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="This is a Title" /> </LinearLayout> <Button android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_gravity="bottom" android:id="@+id/Submit" android:text="Button 1" /> </LinearLayout> On Thu, Oct 2, 2008 at 8:36 AM, Cadge <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: > > Ok I understand now, > > Thanks a lot. > > On Oct 2, 4:27 pm, "Romain Guy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > layout_gravity=bottom works only in horizontal LinearLayouts.
