    </LinearLayout>

Answer 1

Well I am assuming that either you want to shift the navigation bar to bottom most position or you want to make the background matter view shorter so that the navigation bar is the lowermost element on the screen.

You need to make use of android:layout_marginBottom="-5dp" for the linear layout .

You don't need to necessarily use android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" as the margin settings will override those alignments.

We can adjust the margins as per the view requirement. Try different margin values.
