How can I place Button or TextView at the absolute bottom in RelativLayout?

There seems to be some hidden padding in the RelativLayout, I'm I right?

I've got this TextView:

    <TextView
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
    android:background="@color/green"
    android:text="LOG IN"/>

in a RelativeLayout.

What I cant understand is why

    android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"

doesn't place the TextView all the way down. ref image:

enter image description here

Is there any way to remove this padding?

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

Here the TextView's parent is the Entire RelativeLayout.

TextView is indeed at RelativeLayout's Bottom, but doesn't mean that RelativeLayout's bottom is aligned with the screen's absolute bottom.

Try set android:layout_marginBottom = "0px" for your RelativeLayout.

BTW, padding is used between Layout and its Views inside, margin is used outside between Layout and screen borders

The solution to my question was very easy and provided by @Marco Dufal.

Go in the dimens.xml in the res/values folder and set the margin to 0dp:

<dimen name="activity_horizontal_margin">0dp</dimen>
<dimen name="activity_vertical_margin">0dp</dimen>
