Put buttons at bottom of screen with LinearLayout?

Question

I have the following code, how do I make it so that the 3 buttons are at the bottom?

Answer 1

Create Relative layout and inside that layout create your button with this line

android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"

Answer 2

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>

Answer 3

<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>

Answer 4

Add android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan" to manifest - to the corresponding activity:

  <activity android:name="MyActivity"
    ...
    android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan"
    ...
  </activity>

Answer 5

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

Answer 6

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"
        android:src="@drawable/ic_menu_rotate" />

    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/stock"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        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"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
tools:context=".MainActivity"
android:id="@+id/relt"
android:background="@drawable/background" >

<LinearLayout
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="78dp"
    android:id="@+id/down"
    android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" >

    <include
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="78dp"
        layout="@layout/footer" >
    </include>
</LinearLayout>
<ImageView
    android:id="@+id/view"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_above="@+id/down"
    android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
    android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
    android:layout_below="@+id/inc"
   >  
    </ImageView> 
    <include layout="@layout/header"
        android:id="@+id/inc"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="50dp"></include> 

happy coding :)
