Display a TextView 5dp from the bottom

Android Studio 0.3.7

Hello,

I have the following TextView that is on a Linearlayout (vertical).

I want to display the TextView just about 5dp from the bottom of the layout. However, I can't seem to do that.

I have played around with the different properties of the android:layout_marginBottom and some other properties as well.

 <TextView
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"
        android:text="Sign Up with StarBucks"
        android:id="@+id/tv_signup"
        android:clickable="true"
        android:textColor="#380aff"
        android:enabled="true"
        android:textStyle="bold|italic"
        android:gravity="center_horizontal"
        android:layout_marginBottom="5dp"/>

Can anyone tell me what is the correct property to set to get the Textview positioned from the bottom of the layout.

Many thanks for any suggestions,

Try setting android:layout_gravity="bottom" or else if you want your textview to be horizontally center then you may set 

android:layout_gravity="bottom|center_horizontal"

<LinearLayout

The textView have to be child of the RelativeLayout then You can use alignParentBottom="true" and set marignBottom
