</LinearLayout>

I want to place the relative layout (last relative layout which having 3 buttons it, after scrollview ) at the bottom my screen. but its not happening

what to do??

Edited: The happening is i statically placed the relative layout by specifying padding, when running in portrait mode i made it fix at bottom but when i changed to landscape its not at bottom. How to place relativelayout in bottom in either cases??

Thanks

Here the solution I tested and which works :

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

    <ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="100dp"
        android:layout_weight="1.0" android:fadingEdge="none">
    ...
    </ScrollView>

    <RelativeLayout android:orientation="horizontal" 
        android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="60dip" 
        android:background="@drawable/tabbarbottom">

        <Button android:id="@+id/jobs" android:text="About Us"
            android:layout_width="100dp" android:layout_height="fill_parent"
            ...></Button>

        <Button android:id="@+id/aboutus" android:text="Value"
            android:layout_width="100dp" android:layout_height="fill_parent"
            ...></Button>

        <Button android:id="@+id/benefits" android:text="History"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" ...></Button>

    </RelativeLayout>
</LinearLayout>

• The first LinearLayout should have layout_height="fill_parent".
  This way it takes up the whole screen.
• The ScrollView should have a
  small fixed height, and an extra android:layout_weight="1.0" : it
  will take up whatever space is remaining.
• The RelativeLayout should
  have a fixed height (it will always take up the same space at the
  bottom of the screen), and the Buttons inside of it should have
  layout_height="fill_parent" (to have the same height as the
  RelativeLayout).
