Android: Move Button Text to bottom

Question

Currently I'm creating a button with Image and Text. My problem is I want to move the text to teh buttom of the button.

<Button
  android:layout_weight=".30" 
  android:layout_margin="2dp" 
  android:background="@drawable/btnforgot" 
  android:layout_height="60dp" 
  android:layout_width="100dp" 
  android:text="Forgot "/>

Hope someone can help me out in this regard. Searched many places but couldn't come up with a solution.

Thanks in advance.

Simply add android:gravity="bottom|center" to your Button declaration. If you want to lift it from the bottom slightly, then add android:paddingBottom="4dp" as well.

I am not sure but android:gravity="bottom" can be helpful to you. Try this inside the <Button>.

Update:

If you want to know about android:gravity and android:layout_gravity then just check this SO question: Gravity and layout_gravity on Android

android:layout_gravity sets the gravity of the View or Layout in its parent. For more info: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3482742/android-gravity-and-layout-gravity/3482757#3482757 – Paresh Mayani Jul 27 '11 at 08:43
