android move button

I want create activity, and put buttons on any position of screen.

But I can't figure out how to do that.

For example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/linearLayout1" 
    android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
    android:layout_height="fill_parent" 
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
        <Button android:text="start" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_gravity="bottom|center" android:layout_width="wrap_content"></Button>
    </LinearLayout>

In this case button apears in the bottom of screen. But I want button to be a little higher.But I can't. So is there any method to put buttons on the screen using coordinates or anything else?

You can use the following:

android:layout_marginTop= ""

Try out FrameLayout

Edit: From the site:

FrameLayout is the simplest type of layout object. It's basically a blank space on your screen that you can later fill with a single object — for example, a picture that you'll swap in and out. All child elements of the FrameLayout are pinned to the top left corner of the screen; you cannot specify a different location for a child view. Subsequent child views will simply be drawn over previous ones, partially or totally obscuring them (unless the newer object is transparent).

Use relative layout and within that linear layout.

<RelativeLayout>
.....
<LinearLayout>
.....
</LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>

And use margin attribute.

android:layout_marginTop
android:layout_marginRIght
android:layout_marginBottom
android:layout_marginLeft

In your case..

android:layout_marginBottom="40dp"

you can provide the value as you need.

Try adding android:layout_marginBottom="10dp" to the button. Like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout android:id="@+id/linearLayout1" 
android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
android:layout_height="fill_parent" 
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<Button android:text="start" 
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
    android:layout_gravity="bottom|center" 
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_marginBottom="10dp"></Button>
</LinearLayout>
