alignParentBottom In a Layout Inflate

I have a ListActivity that I'm trying to inflate a Button from this layout file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    >
    <Button
        android:id="@+id/add_button"  
        android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
        android:text="@string/add_prop"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        />
</LinearLayout>

Using this code:

View footer = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.footer, null);
ListView listView = getListView();

listView.setTextFilterEnabled(true);
listView.addFooterView(footer, null, false);

The problem is that since the list isn't so big that takes the entire screen (at least I think this is why) the button stays at the end of the list instead of sticking to the bottom because of the android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" property. What should I do to make it stick at the bottom?

You have to create a new layout file with this code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent" >

    <ListView
        android:id="@android:id/list"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:layout_above="@+id/add_button" />

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/add_button"  
        android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
        android:text="@string/add_prop"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" />

</RelativeLayout >

Then set it as content view of your Activity using setContentView()
