[android] Android Linear Layout - How to Keep Element At Bottom Of View?

I have a TextView which I want to pin at the bottom of a landscape activity that is using LinearLayout with vertically arranged elements.

I have set android:gravity="bottom" on the text view, but it still likes to be just below the last element of the LinearLayout exactly what I do not want it to do.

Any suggestions?

DO LIKE THIS

 <LinearLayout
android:id="@+id/LinearLayouts02"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:gravity="bottom|end">

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/texts1"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_weight="2"
    android:text="@string/forgotpass"
    android:padding="7dp"
    android:gravity="bottom|center_horizontal"
    android:paddingLeft="10dp"
    android:layout_marginBottom="30dp"
    android:bottomLeftRadius="10dp"
    android:bottomRightRadius="50dp"
    android:fontFamily="sans-serif-condensed"
    android:textColor="@color/colorAccent"
    android:textStyle="bold"
    android:textSize="16sp"
    android:topLeftRadius="10dp"
    android:topRightRadius="10dp"
   />

</LinearLayout>

You will have to expand one of your upper views to fill the remaining space by setting android:layout_weight="1" on it. This will push your last view down to the bottom.

Here is a brief sketch of what I mean:

<LinearLayout android:orientation="vertical">
    <View/>
    <View android:layout_weight="1"/>
    <View/>
    <View android:id="@+id/bottom"/>
</LinearLayout>

where each of the child view heights is "wrap_content" and everything else is "fill_parent".

Step 1 : Create two view inside a linear layout

Step 2 : First view must set to android:layout_weight="1"

Step 3 : Second view will automatically putted downwards

<LinearLayout
android:id="@+id/botton_header"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical" >

    <View
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="0dp"
    android:layout_weight="1" />

    <Button
    android:id="@+id/btn_health_advice"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>


</LinearLayout>

try this

<LinearLayout
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_gravity="bottom"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textViewProfileName"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="TextView" />

</LinearLayout>

I think it will be perfect solution:

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical">

    <!-- Other views -->
    <Space
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="0dp"
        android:layout_weight="1"/>

    <!-- Target view below -->
    <View
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content">

</LinearLayout>

You can also use

android:layout_gravity="bottom"

for your textview

You should put the parameter gravity to bottom not in the textview but in the Linear Layout. Like this:

<LinearLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:gravity="bottom|end">
    <TextView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Something"/>
</LinearLayout>
