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.
