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


<TextView
     android:layout_width="fill_parent"
     android:layout_height="wrap_content"
     android:text="@string/hello"
     />
<TextView
     android:layout_width="fill_parent"
     android:layout_height="fill_parent"
     android:text="@string/empty_string"
     />
<Button
     android:layout_width="fill_parent"
     android:layout_height="wrap_content"
     android:gravity="bottom"
     android:text="@string/btn_start_game"
/>
