You can Use Linerlayout with property android:orientation="vertical" for verical button and android:orientation="horizontal" for horizontal buttons.
Also use weight property of linerLayout

use nested Linear Layouts and change the orientation property .Check this library it might be helpful

Scrollview stretches background Android

I have read many question on this topic but found no answer.
the problem is that I have a ScrollView as mainView in my xml and if I set a background it is stretched.
ScrollView(background)-->content
I also tried:
Scrollview-->content(background)
To solve the issue I need to wrap the scrollView inside a LinearLayout.
LinearLayout(background)-->ScrolView-->content
Now the background (if applied to the mainLinearLayout) is no more stretched but I have the warning:
This ScrollView layout or its LinearLayout parent is possibly useless; transfer the background attribute to the other
view
I'd like to have the background not stretched and also get rid of this warning.
Probably I've not fully understood how this Views work...
Thanks for your help

Not a beautiful answer. But it should work.
You can set the background activity in styles xml file.
Remove useless LinearLayout.
Set the background of scrollview to transparent.

in your first case, use android:layout_height="wrap_content" for the scrollview and it won't stretch the background picture anymore

Android: How to change Relative Layout to Scroll Layout

Hello i have an Relative Layout in Android, with EditTexts, TextViews, one Spinner and RadioButtons. It's a lot of things for only one screen, so i need to change for a ScrolView. When i try add the line in the first line and on the last Row, I have problems.
How can i add a scroll on my screen without lose all the layout I built so far?

so i need to change for a ScrolView
You do not need to change "for a ScrolView". You need to wrap your RelativeLayout in a ScrollView.

Put a ScrollView around your RelativeLayout:
<ScrollView>
<RelativeLayout>
<!-- existing stuff here -->
</RelativeLayout>
</ScrollView>

As #CommonsWare has said, you can just wrap your current layout with a ScrollView.
Just keep in mind that a ScrollView must have only one child.

Android button dynamically placed on button

I wanted to know if there is a way to place a button on the bottom of the screen, no matter what size screen the device has. I basically want the button to have a gravity="bottom", not just its text. I have been trying to do this, and I cannot find a way to do it. any suggestions?

What layout is the button in? Using a relative layout, you can set the button to align_parent_bottom.

use a RelativeLayout with layout_height="fill_parent" then set the button's layout_alignParentBottom value to true in the XML file

Never mind, I created a child LinearLayout only for and I put
android:gravity="bottom"
in the child and it worked :-)

Try using android:layout_gravity="bottom" on the Button :)

How to resize the RelativeLayout or any other Layout in Android?

I have a RelativeLayout defined in xml and I call the setContentView(R.layout.relativeLAyout) for displaying in Activity.
Now, if I want to resize this RelativeLayout then can it be done and if yes, then can someone let me know how?
The inner components can be resized relatively to the parent.
Is this actually possible?

Sunil

well if you use Eclipse, in the XML file, there at the bottom just switch to Graphical Layout.
and from there you can drag and drop payouts, Buttons etc :D
then in properties you can select add the pixels (200px ) on width/height

As to the inner components not resizing, make sure that both android:layout_width and and android:layout_height are set to fill_parent - then they should take up the space given to the parent.
