Relative layout not putting button in place

im using this code;

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="@string/hello" />

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/button1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:text="Button" />

</RelativeLayout>

and for some reason this is not working in the emulator with 540x960. The button appear in the middle of the emulator.

In my droid2 it works correctly.

enter image description here

the left picture show how it works in my droid 2 cellphone, and right side show how is working in the HTC sensationXe emulator

Edit your XML by this and it will work.

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    >

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="@string/hello" />

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/button1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:gravity="bottom"
        android:text="Button" />

</RelativeLayout>

Orientation attribute does not work for Relative Layouts. Try following

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/helloid"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="@string/hello" />

<Button
    android:id="@+id/button1"
    android:layout_below="@id/helloid"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
    android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
    android:text="Button" />

You have to set an anchor point to your TextView.. try to align the text view in the left of the button or in its right side and the problem should disappear.
