    android:layout_gravity="center"
    android:padding="10dip" >


    <ScrollView>
     <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/earthSymbolImageView"
        android:layout_width="25dp"
        android:layout_height="25dp"
        android:src="@drawable/earthsymbol" />

     <TextView
        android:id="@+id/earth_content1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="@string/earth_title"
        android:gravity="center" 
        android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
        android:textSize="20sp" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/earth_content2"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="@string/earth_text" 
        android:textColor="#FFFFFF" />

     </ScrollView>

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/backButton"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="@string/back" />
