Positioning to bottom-right in an absoluteLayout in xamarin.android

I have an absolute layout like this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<AbsoluteLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent">
    <LinearLayout
        android:orientation="vertical"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent">
       //stuff
    </LinearLayout>
    <Button
        android:text="test"
        android:textStyle="bold"
        android:layout_width="50dp"
        android:layout_height="50dp"
        android:layout_x="10dp"
        android:layout_y="10dp"
         />
</AbsoluteLayout>

It takes a button and positions it to a top left position at 10dp from top of the screen and 10dp from the left of the screen.

I need to add another button there and position it to the bottom right of the screen, but I do not know how to set the positions (layout_x and y) to be calculated from bottom and right positions, they are currently calculated from the top and left.

Is this possible? I would be even willing to use relative or similar layout, instead of the absolute, if it would solve the problem.

AbsoluteLayout is deprecated since API3.

you can use RelativeLayout instead and set android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" and android:layout_alignParentRight="true" for the Button.

    <Button
    android:text="Button"
    android:textStyle="bold"
    android:layout_width="50dp"
    android:layout_height="50dp"
    android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
    android:layout_alignParentRight="true" />
