Question

I need to design almost similar structure as defined in Adding component at the bottom

I followed the answer given in that thread. But my problem is, if I use tag to import another xml which has some components in LinearLayout and if I try to add that xml in my xml having RelativeLayout, the component which was imported using tag won’t go to the bottom of the screen. But strangely, if I replace that imported component with some component like a button in that same xml, the button goes to the bottom. Please help me.

Here’s the code-

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

    <!-- Title Bar -->

    <include
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:id="@+id/title_bar"
        layout="@layout/title_bar" 
        android:layout_marginBottom="1dip"/>


    <!-- Options Bar -->

    <include
    android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        android:id="@+id/options_bar"
        layout="@layout/options_bar"
        />

 <!--
    <Button android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Test"/> 
 -->
</RelativeLayout>

Every thing look fine. Please 1st check you option_bar.xml. I am thinking the issue is its height. May be you have set the option_bar.xml

android:layout_height = “fill_parent”

If so then please change it to “wrap_content” or “match_parent”.
