How to align a button bottom with multiline edit text in linear layout Android

Question

I'd like to align a Button and a multiLine EditText at the bottom of the screen. They should both be beside each other. Both of these are currently in a LinearLayout . How do I do this?

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    tools:context=".MainActivity" 
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:weightSum="2">

    <LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/linearlayout"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:background="#F5F5F5"
        android:orientation="horizontal" 
       >

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/Text1"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="To:"
            android:textSize="15sp" />

        <EditText
            android:id="@+id/To"
            android:layout_width="153dp"
            android:layout_height="fill_parent"
            android:layout_weight="0.86"
            android:inputType="phone" />

        <Button
            android:id="@+id/Browse"
            android:layout_width="50dp"
            android:layout_height="50dp"
            android:text="+" />
    </LinearLayout>

     <ListView
            android:id="@+id/listview"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"

            android:layout_below="@+id/linearlayout" />

<!-- 
            <TextView 
            android:id="@+id/awain"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"

Answer 2

you have to use the relative layout as parent of your Linerlayout

See the example here..

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

  <LinearLayout
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

    <EditText
        android:id="@+id/edittextid"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:hint="Your edit text"
        android:maxLines="3" />

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/buttonid"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Button" />
  </LinearLayout>

</RelativeLayout>

You use RelativeLayout, change RelativeLayout to LinearLayout

<RelativeLayout 
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
