Question

I written following in .xml file, instead of specifying

<LinearLayout 
    android:id="@+id/layoutContacts"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:layout_marginTop="50dp"
    android:visibility="gone"
    android:orientation="vertical">

    <AutoCompleteTextView
        android:id="@+id/autoCompleteTextViewContactEntered"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:hint="Contact Number" >

    <requestFocus />
    </AutoCompleteTextView>

    <LinearLayout 
        android:id="@+id/layoutDownButtons"
        android:gravity="bottom"
        android:layout_gravity="bottom"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="horizontal" >
        <Button 
            android:text="Balance"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:onClick="showBalance"/>
        <Button 
            android:text="Settings"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_weight="1.1"
            android:onClick="showSettings"/>

    </LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>

I want android:id=”@+id/layoutDownButtons” at the bottom. bot it is not coming at Bottom . I written android:gravity=”bottom”
android:layout_gravity=”bottom” for that still it is not working.
