XML-problem, how to get a button/edittext to the bottom

Postby Timmeah » Fri Mar 13, 2009 12:20 am

Hi, I'm having a problem and I can't seem to figure it out. My edittext won't go to the bottom of my screen.

Whatever I try, it stays in the upperleft. I use the next code, what am I doing wrong???

Doing a button with layout_gravity poses the same problem, it is still in the upperleft corner.. Am I missing something essential here?

Did you check the documentation for relativelayout? It allows you to position views relative to each other.

Ok, thanks it works, had to put the code above the relative lay-out.

However, my button is not shown completely.. how is this possible??
