layout_gravity="bottom" doesn't work

Hello stackoverflow community! I'm newbie both in programming and on this site, but let's get to the point. I wrote an app:

I have a problem with positioning a button at the end. I want it to be at the bottom of a screen and centered horizontally. I know I could use relative layout but I decided to check if I can do this using linear layout. And seems that I can't... "bottom" attribute is being ignored.

Solution

Simply do one change.

Remove this line from the last button

android:layout_gravity="bottom|center_horizontal"

And add this line in the Linear layout which is containing your last button

android:gravity="bottom|center"

Here is the output:
