I have the following code, how do I make it so that the 3 buttons are at the bottom?
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="60dp"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="#string/observer"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
tools:context=".asdf"
android:weight="1" />
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<Button
android:id="#+id/button1"
style="?android:attr/buttonStyleSmall"
android:layout_width="145dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal|center"
android:text="1" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/button2"
style="?android:attr/buttonStyleSmall"
android:layout_width="145dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal|center"
android:text="2" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/button3"
style="?android:attr/buttonStyleSmall"
android:layout_width="145dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal|center"
android:text="3" />
</LinearLayout>
You need to ensure four things:
Your outside LinearLayout has layout_height="match_parent"
Your inside LinearLayout has layout_weight="1" and layout_height="0dp"
Your TextView has layout_weight="0"
You've set the gravity properly on your inner LinearLayout: android:gravity="center|bottom"
Notice that fill_parent does not mean "take up all available space". However, if you use layout_height="0dp" with layout_weight="1", then a view will take up all available space (Can't get proper layout with "fill_parent").
Here is some code I quickly wrote up that uses two LinearLayouts in a similar fashion to your code.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/db1_root"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="#string/cow"
android:layout_weight="0"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" />
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dip"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:gravity="center|bottom"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<Button
android:id="#+id/button1"
style="?android:attr/buttonStyleSmall"
android:layout_width="145dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal|center"
android:text="1" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/button2"
style="?android:attr/buttonStyleSmall"
android:layout_width="145dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal|center"
android:text="2" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/button3"
style="?android:attr/buttonStyleSmall"
android:layout_width="145dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal|center"
android:text="3" />
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
The result looks like similar to this:
You can use a RelativeLayout and align it to the bottom with android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
Create Relative layout and inside that layout create your button with this line
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
You can do this by taking a Frame layout as parent Layout and then put linear layout inside it. Here is a example:
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="5dp"
android:textSize="16sp"/>
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="5dp"
android:textSize="16sp"
/>
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="5dp"
android:textSize="16sp"/>
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="5dp"
android:textSize="16sp"/>
</LinearLayout>
<Button
android:id="#+id/button2"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="10dp"
android:layout_gravity="bottom"
/>
</FrameLayout>
first create file name it as footer.xml
put this code inside it.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="78dp"
android:layout_gravity="bottom"
android:gravity="bottom"
android:layout_weight=".15"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:background="#drawable/actionbar_dark_background_tile" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/lborder"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight=".14"
android:background="#drawable/action_bar_left_button"
android:src="#drawable/overlay" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/unknown"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight=".14"
android:background="#drawable/action_bar_left_button"
android:src="#drawable/notcolor" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/open"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight=".14"
android:background="#drawable/action_bar_left_button"
android:src="#drawable/openit"
/>
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/color"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight=".14"
android:background="#drawable/action_bar_left_button"
android:src="#drawable/colored" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/rborder"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/action_bar_left_button"
android:src="#drawable/frames"
android:layout_weight=".14" />
</LinearLayout>
then create header.xml and put this code inside it.:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="#dimen/action_bar_height"
android:layout_gravity="top"
android:baselineAligned="true"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:background="#drawable/actionbar_dark_background_tile" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/contact"
android:layout_width="37dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="start"
android:layout_weight=".18"
android:scaleType="fitCenter"
android:background="#drawable/action_bar_left_button"
android:src="#drawable/logo"/>
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/share"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="start"
android:layout_weight=".14"
android:background="#drawable/action_bar_left_button"
android:src="#drawable/share" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/save"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight=".14"
android:background="#drawable/action_bar_left_button"
android:src="#drawable/save" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/set"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight=".14"
android:background="#drawable/action_bar_left_button"
android:src="#drawable/set" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/fix"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight=".14"
android:background="#drawable/action_bar_left_button"
android:src="#drawable/light" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/rotate"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight=".14"
android:background="#drawable/action_bar_left_button"

<ImageView

android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight=".14"
android:background="#drawable/action_bar_left_button"
android:src="#drawable/stock" />
</LinearLayout>
and then in your main_activity.xml and put this code inside it :-
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

android:layout_width="match_parent"

</ImageView>
<include layout="#layout/header"
android:id="#+id/inc"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"

happy coding :)
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/LinearLayouts02"
android:layout_width="match_parent"

android:gravity="bottom|end">

android:layout_marginBottom="30dp"
android:bottomLeftRadius="10dp"
android:bottomRightRadius="50dp"

android:textColor="#color/colorAccent"
android:textStyle="bold"
android:textSize="16sp"
android:topLeftRadius="10dp"
android:topRightRadius="10dp"/>
</LinearLayout>
Just add layout_weight="1" to in your linearLayout which having Buttons.
Edit :- let me make it simple
follow something like below, tags name may not be correct, it is just an Idea
<LL>// Top Parrent LinearLayout
<LL1 height="fill_parent" weight="1" "other tags as requirement"> <TV /><Butons /></LL1> // this layout will fill your screen.
<LL2 height="wrap_content" weight="1" orientation="Horizontal" "other tags as requirement"> <BT1 /><BT2/ ></LL2> // this layout gonna take lower part of button height of your screen
<LL/> TOP PARENT CLOSED
You can bundle your Button(s) within a RelativeLayout even if your Parent Layout is Linear. Make Sure the outer most parent has android:layout_height attribute set to match_parent.
And in that Button tag add
'android:alignParentBottom="True" '
You can use the Space widget with layout_weight=1 to fill up the space between your widgets and the bottom buttons. See example:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_margin="16dp"
android:orientation="vertical">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
android:id="#+id/date_layout"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginEnd="8dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:hint="#string/date_hint">
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputEditText
android:id="#+id/date_input"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:focusable="false" />
</com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout>
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
android:id="#+id/time_layout"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginStart="8dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:hint="#string/time_hint">
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputEditText
android:id="#+id/time_input"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:focusable="false"
android:inputType="datetime" />
</com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout>
</LinearLayout>
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
android:id="#+id/food_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
android:hint="#string/food_hint">
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputEditText
android:id="#+id/food_input"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:inputType="text" />
</com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout>
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
android:id="#+id/calories_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
android:hint="#string/calories_hint">
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputEditText
android:id="#+id/calories_input"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:inputType="number" />
</com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout>
<Space
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/add_button"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/add_button" />
</LinearLayout>
Add android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan" to manifest - to the corresponding activity:
<activity android:name="MyActivity"
...
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan"
...
</activity>
In my case I was trying to put a complete Linear Layout at the bottom in Linear Layout. When I tried using the "layout_gravity" to bottom it was not working. So I changed the root layout to the Frame Layout and it worked perfectly.
So If you want to put a layout at bottom try using Frame Layout and put everything else inside a nested Linear or Relative Layout.

Hello stackoverflow community!
I'm newbie both in programming and on this site, but let's get to the point.

I have a problem with positioning a button at the end.
I want it to be at the bottom of a screen and centered horizontally.
I know I could use relative layout but I decided to check if I can do this using linear layout. And seems that I can't... "bottom" attribute is being ignored.
Simply do one change.
Remove this line from the last button
android:layout_gravity="bottom|center_horizontal"
And add this line in the Linear layout which is containing your last button
android:gravity="bottom|center"
Here is the output:
Follow this link to get a clear idea about gravity and layout_gravity. It'll surely help you in your upcoming designs.
You can add this View before last button:
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<!-- Add this -->
<View
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"/>
<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="bottom|center_horizontal"
android:onClick="scoreReset"
android:text="reset" />
</LinearLayout>
Try encapsulating the main layout in one LinearLayout with layout_weight = 1, layout_width = "match_parent", layout_height = "match_parent"and button at bottom in another LinearLayout with layout_width="match_parent" and gravity set to bottom|center_horizontal.
This should work :
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:gravity="bottom|center">
<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center|bottom"
android:onClick="scoreReset"
android:text="reset"/>
</LinearLayout>
use gravity="bottom" instead of layout_gravity it should help.
I'm trying to center the chilldren of my relative layout in the center of my screen but it's acting like it's aligned to the top of the parent and I can't figure out why.
my .XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"

I've tried making the parent a relativelayout without success and it won't align to the bottom either. Initially I thought the layout wasn't filling the whole screen but since its height and width are match_parent I don't think that's the problem. in android studio it is displaying correctly though so I must be missing something small.
I also tried using the gravity and layoutgravity parameters and a combination of the two but without success
Edit: I need the views to stay in the same formation relative to each other but centered in the screen vertically.
Edit 2:I set the background of the RelativeLayout to red and got this: So the relativelayout isn't filling my screen.
Edit 3:
Edit 4:
try this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"

Try something like this.

UPDATE:
If setting the xml in an AlertDialog, it's possible that there is a space allotted at the bottom. I google and found this alert_dialog.xml for reference. It seems that there is a buttonPanel at the bottom with a minimum height of 54dip.

Thanks to ank I was able to figure out that the reason why the RelativeLayout didn't fill my screen is that I used it in an alertDialog. So RelativeLayouts parent isn't the screen but the alertDialog. Since an alertDialog wraps its content it doesn't fill the entire screen.
I want my reset button to be at bottom and horizontally centered, but layout_gravity is not working, only one of them is working.
I know it can be done by choosing RelativeLayout as my parent layout but I want to do it with LinearLayout as my parent layout.
I just want reset button as bottom and horizontally centered rest everything is fine.

Use this instead if you don't want to go completely relative (inside the parent Linear Layout):
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal|bottom"
android:onClick="resetButton"
android:padding="8dp"
android:text="RESET"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" />
</RelativeLayout>
or if you don't want to keep the reset button inside a relative layout, there doesn't seem to be a solution.
You can check this out as well: How to align views at the bottom of the screen?
Since the rest of your ViewGroups in that layout fill the parent's width, you could simply set the parent LinearLayout's gravity to center_horizontal and it should line up properly, without affecting the other children:
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"
tools:context="com.example.android.courtcounter.MainActivity">
Edit: I didn't notice you also wanted it at the bottom... This can be achieved with an invisible weighted View between your content and the bottom:
...
<View
android:layout_width="1dip"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_weight="1" />
<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:onClick="resetButton"
android:padding="8dp"
android:text="RESET" />
</LinearLayout>
Edit 2: Removed layout_gravity on your button since it no longer applies.
I am trying to have textviews overlay over imageviews. Something like this
Can someone help me with the code.
Wrap a TextView and ImageView into FrameLayout, put the TextView in FrameLayout after ImageView. Then, wrap the FrameLayout into RelativeLayout OR LinearLayout. Make some position setup (as per the needs).
<RelativeLayout>
<FrameLayout>
<ImageView />
<TextView />
</FrameLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
You can create a frame layout and within the frame layout keep an imageview and a linearlayout(with a translucent background and a textview).
The translucent color can be placed in the colors file as : #80000000
Here is a snippet :)
<FrameLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/mainlayout"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:foregroundGravity="bottom"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/ivFullScreenAd"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_marginBottom="8dp"
android:src="#drawable/home_page_ad" />
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="bottom"
android:background="#color/translucent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/detailTitle"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="left"
android:paddingLeft="10dip"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
android:text="Please swipe up"
android:textColor="#color/white"
android:textIsSelectable="true"
android:textSize="20sp" />
</LinearLayout>
</FrameLayout>
I had the same problem and solved it using a custom gridView. You must apply this in getView.
Custom gridView XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<ImageView
android:id="#+id/item_image"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:scaleType="centerCrop"
android:contentDescription="#string/contentDescriptionContent"
/>
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/layout_login"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:background="#CC515116"
android:visibility="gone"
android:gravity="center" >
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textColor="#android:color/white"
android:text="#string/text_enter_pass_password"

<LinearLayout

Though an old question but should incase anyone is interested in the card view version of this question here you go...

Please modify the layout accordingly, If you want to accommodate the images on an imageview only, then you can drop the below layout in a relative one including an imageview too.
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/your_image"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/bottom_textview"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
<!-- layout_gravity="supply accordingly" -->
android:gravity="center"/>
</LinearLayout>
The task is simple: there are two buttons and a TextView above them. All the widgets shoud be centered within the relative layout. The only one idea I have is create the third widget View and use it as a center axis for the buttons. Any ideas? A redundant layout isn't a good solution.
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tv_progress"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:text="#string/app_name" />
<View
android:id="#+id/view_axis"
android:layout_width="1dp"
android:layout_height="1dp"
android:layout_below="#id/tv_progress"
android:layout_centerInParent="true" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/button_start"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#id/tv_progress"
android:layout_toLeftOf="#id/view_axis"
android:text="#string/start" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/button_stop"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#id/tv_progress"
android:layout_toRightOf="#id/view_axis"
android:text="#string/stop" />
</RelativeLayout>
If I understand what you want correctly, you can put the Buttons in a LinearLayout and center that
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tv_progress"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:text="#string/app_name" />
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_below="#id/tv_progress">
<Button
android:id="#+id/button_start"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/start" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/button_stop"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/stop" />
</LinearLayout>
I'm not sure if that's what you meant by a "redundant layout" but doing this is fine if it gives you what you want.
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<Spinner
android:id="#+id/sp_rooms"
android:layout_toLeftOf="#id/space"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<Space
android:id="#+id/space"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/btn_registration"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_toRightOf="#id/space"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</RelativeLayout>
This will vertically and horizontally center the whole block consisting of the textview + buttons
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_centerInParent="true">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tv_progress"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/app_name" />
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<Button
android:id="#+id/button_start"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/start" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/button_stop"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/stop" />
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
