Question

Ive been trying unsuccessfully for a few days now to get a button to sit at the bottom of a gridview, I have still not been able to get the to work and havent been able to find a working solution anywhere, has anyone done this before? below is my code and an example of what Im trying to achieve, any help would go an extremely long way, thank you so much if you can give me an answer that actually works.

Answer 1

Try to use this:

<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >

<Button
    android:id="@+id/profile_button"
    style="@style/TextAppearance.Button"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
    android:background="@drawable/button_background"
    android:text="Load more photos" />

<GridView
    android:id="@+id/gridView1"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_above="@+id/profile_button"
    android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
    android:columnWidth="90dp"
    android:gravity="center"
    android:horizontalSpacing="10dp"
    android:numColumns="auto_fit"
    android:stretchMode="columnWidth"
    android:verticalSpacing="10dp" >
</GridView>
