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 a RelativeLayout and align it to the bottom with android layout alignParentBottom  true

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  39 t get proper layout with  quot fill parent quot     Here is some code I quickly wrote up that uses two LinearLayouts in a similar fashion to your code    lt  xml version  1 0  encoding  utf-8   gt   lt 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   gt        lt 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    gt        lt LinearLayout         android layout width  match parent          android layout height  0dip          android layout weight  1          android gravity  center bottom          android orientation  vertical   gt            lt 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    gt            lt 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    gt            lt 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    gt       lt  LinearLayout gt    lt  LinearLayout gt    The result looks like similar to this

You can do this by taking a Frame layout as parent Layout and then put linear layout inside it  Here is a example    lt FrameLayout xmlns android  http   schemas android com apk res android  android layout width  match parent  android layout height  match parent    gt   lt LinearLayout android layout width  match parent  android layout height  wrap content  android orientation  vertical  gt    lt TextView     android layout width  match parent      android layout height  wrap content      android padding  5dp      android textSize  16sp   gt     lt TextView     android layout width  match parent      android layout height  wrap content      android padding  5dp            android textSize  16sp        gt    lt TextView     android layout width  match parent      android layout height  wrap content      android padding  5dp      android textSize  16sp   gt    lt TextView     android layout width  match parent      android layout height  wrap content      android padding  5dp       android textSize  16sp   gt       lt  LinearLayout gt    lt Button     android id    id button2      android layout width  match parent      android layout height  wrap content      android layout margin  10dp      android layout gravity  bottom        gt    lt  FrameLayout gt

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   lt LL gt    Top Parrent LinearLayout     lt LL1 height  fill parent  weight  1   other tags as requirement  gt   lt TV   gt  lt Butons   gt  lt  LL1 gt     this layout will fill your screen      lt LL2 height  wrap content  weight  1   orientation  Horizontal   other tags as requirement  gt   lt BT1   gt  lt BT2   gt  lt  LL2 gt     this layout gonna take lower part of button height of your screen   lt LL  gt  TOP PARENT CLOSED
