Question

I have a FrameLayout with a vertical LinearLayout inside. I have an ImageView that I want to sit at the very bottom of my layout. I’m not sure how to do this. I added it as the last element in my LinearLayout but it’s not fixed to the bottom. How can I achieve this?

Please post your layout code. I highly recommend not using RelativeLayout, for a number of reasons. usually there is some other component of your view that you’d like to take up the rest of the space, and if you give that layout_weight, as mentioned in another answer, that will solve your problem.

As an example, this will always put what you want at the bottom:

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

    <ListView
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_weight="1">
        <!-- fills the area -->
    </ListView>


    <ImageView
            android:id="@+id/imageNew"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:src="@drawable/icon"/>

</LinearLayout>
