Appcelerator Titanium - How do I place an image at the bottom of the screen

appcelerator, titanium-mobile

Solution

You might need to add another view. The 'base' view would have what you are calling 'self' added at `top:0` and `height: 'auto'`

Then add imgView to 'base' with `bottom: 10` (not `setBottom` like you have).

Problem

I have a main view, then on that view I have, as children, two labels and an image. I want the labels to flow one after another from the top of the screen and I want the image at the bottom. I get the labels to flow properly by setting layout:'vertical' in the main window. But once that is done, I can't seem to force the image to the bottom. Here is a snippet of my code: ``` var self = Ti.UI.createView({ backgroundColor:'#fff', layout:'vertical' }); var l1 = Titanium.UI.createLabel({ text:quote, color:'#000', shadowColor:'#ddd', shadowOffset:{x:2,y:2}, font:{fontFamily:'Marker Felt',fontSize:24}, top:20, left:15, right:15, height:'auto' }); self.add(l1); var l2 = Titanium.UI.createLabel({ text:author, color:'#000', shadowColor:'#ddd', shadowOffset:{x:2,y:2}, font:{fontSize:16}, top:10, left:15, right:15, height:'auto', textAlign:'right' }); self.add(l2); var imgView = Titanium.UI.createImageView({ image:myimage, setBottom:10, height:100 }); self.add(imgView); ``` I have tried setting the image layout and that doesn't work. If I change the 'self' window layout to 'absolute' then I can't seem to get the labels to flow cleanly after one another. The first label is of variable height so I need them to follow each other. I am using Titanium 1.82. Thanks. In advance.
