Solution

Actually, you can set the parent element's gravity to bottom

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:background="@color/blue_bg"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:gravity="bottom" >

   <ImageView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginBottom="10dp"
        android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
        android:src="@drawable/signup_illu_why" />
    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_weight=""
        android:orientation="horizontal" />

    <ImageView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:src="@drawable/signup_skip_icon" />

</LinearLayout>

Problem

I have a linearlayout and I want to create at the bottom of it a slice. I know there are some options, but I'm a bit confused 1) `android:layout_gravity:"bottom"` --> this doesn't work for me for some reason. 2) `android:gravity_weight="0"` and give the sibling before it `android:gravity_weight:"1"` 3) `android:height="wrap_content"` and give the sibling before it `android:height:"match_parent"` I know how to do this using relativeLayout, but I want to practice linearLayout what would you suggest? ``` <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:background="@color/blue_bg" android:orientation="vertical" > <ImageView android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginBottom="10dp" android:layout_marginTop="5dp" android:src="@drawable/signup_illu_why" /> <LinearLayout android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_weight="" android:orientation="horizontal" /> <ImageView android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:src="@drawable/signup_skip_icon" /> </LinearLayout> ```
