    When you create a Layout or a new activity it usually has this code

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

   </LinearLayout>

    Try changing the LinearLayout to RelativeLayout like this

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

   </RelativeLayout >
