Keep text at the bottom with LinearLayout and ScrollView

I am trying to build a menu with multiple options and, at the bottom of the page, there should be a text. The page should scroll in case the icons don't fit. The text should be at around 6 dp distance from the bottom and some kind of minimum distance from the icons so that they don't overlay if the screen has a different configuration (see figure)

enter image description here

So far, I have this configuration:

< ScrollView xmlns: android = "http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns: app = "http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns: tools = "http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android: layout_width = "match_parent"
android: layout_height = "match_parent"
tools: context = ".MainMenu" >

  
  <RelativeLayout
android: layout_width = "match_parent"
android: layout_height = "match_parent"
android: layout_margin = "5dp"
android: gravity = "center_horizontal" >

  
  <LinearLayout
android: layout_width = "match_parent"
android: layout_height = "match_parent"
android: orientation = "vertical" >

   
  <LinearLayout
android: layout_width = "match_parent"
android: layout_height = "match_parent"
android: layout_marginTop = "20dp"
android: orientation = "horizontal" >
  /// More linear layouts

  <
  /LinearLayout> <
  /LinearLayout>

  <
  /RelativeLayout>
  <!--</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>-->
  <
  /ScrollView>

So far everything works fine except that fact that I can't make the text stick to the bottom. It feels dependent on the above LinearLayout. I could set a margin to the last layout (the one containing the text), but the number would be a guess, which is not what I want.

Can anyone help me with this?Thanks!!

I think its better if you just put TextView' outside ofScrollView. Solution can be multiple. On simple one can be Using aRelativeLayout` .

<RelativeLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <ScrollView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_above="@+id/txt"
        android:orientation="vertical">

        <LinearLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:orientation="vertical">
            <!-- Your content goes here-->

        </LinearLayout>
    </ScrollView>

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/txt"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
        android:gravity="center_horizontal"
        android:text="TextView"
        android:textSize="24sp" />

</RelativeLayout>
