Move LinearLayout to bottom of parent LinearLayout

I have a LinearLayout that has a background image.

The LinearLayout also has a child LinearLayout with a TextView inside it. The child LinearLayout has a 20 % transparent background color.

My problem is that I want to move the child LinearLayout to the bottom of the parent LinearLayout. Now the child LinearLayout is located in the vertical center of the parent LinearLayout.

Image:

enter image description here

I have tried different techniques, including using RelativeLayout.

The design XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
    android:fillViewport="true"
    tools:context=".MainActivity">

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


        <!-- Main season image -->
        <LinearLayout
            android:id="@+id/linearLayoutMain"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="300px"
            android:orientation="vertical"
            android:background="@drawable/img_season_02">
        </LinearLayout>
        <!-- //Main season image -->

        <!-- Navigation -->
        <TableLayout
            android:id="@+id/tableLayoutNavigation"

Only do this for each of your row will solve your problem.

<!-- Row 1 - Column 3 -->
                <LinearLayout
                    android:id="@+id/linearLayoutMyProfile"
                    android:layout_width="0dp"
                    android:layout_height="match_parent"
                    android:layout_marginLeft="2dp"
                    android:layout_marginRight="1dp"
                    android:layout_marginTop="2dp"
                    android:layout_weight=".3"
                    android:background="@drawable/com_facebook_profile_picture_blank_square"
                    android:gravity="center"
                    android:orientation="vertical">


                    <LinearLayout
                        android:layout_width="match_parent"
                        android:layout_height="match_parent"
                        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"

                        android:gravity="bottom"
                        android:orientation="vertical"
                        android:paddingLeft="6dp">

                        <TextView
                            android:id="@+id/textViewMyProfileTitle"
                            android:layout_width="match_parent"
                            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                            android:layout_gravity="bottom"
                            android:background="#bb000000"
                            android:layout_marginTop="3dp"
                            android:text="5454"
                            android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"
                            android:textColor="@color/white" />
                    </LinearLayout>
                </LinearLayout>

Hopefully it will solve your problem

I think what you want to do is put android: layout_gravity="bottom" in the Linearlayout that you want to put in the bottom

Also, why don't just set a background color inside a TextView?

android:background="@color/your_color"

Then you would be able to eliminate reduntant LinearLayouts wrapping TextViews

android:layout_alignParentBottom is not a supported attribute of a LinearLayout. If you want to use that, you should convert the parent LinearLayout into a RelativeLayout that supports those relative attributes.

Or, a simpler option would be to just set the parent LinearLayout's gravity: android:gravity="bottom"
