Is it possible to move a view to the bottom-left-most corner in a LinearLayout?

Question

So, this is my View

with the XML 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"
    android:padding="16dp">

    <TextView
        style="?android:listSeparatorTextViewStyle"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="@string/crime_title_label" />

    <EditText
        android:id="@+id/crime_title"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:hint="@string/crime_title_hint" />

    <TextView
        style="?android:listSeparatorTextViewStyle"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="@string/crime_details_label" />

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/crime_date"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

    <CheckBox
        android:id="@+id/crime_solved"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="@string/crime_solved_label" />

</LinearLayout>  

I wanted to add a Button to the bottom-left-most corner. But I am not sure if that is achievable in a vertical orientated Linear Layout. The only way that comes to my mind without changing the layout type is to add this part to the Button I want: android:layout_gravity="bottom|left" but that does not do the trick. Any suggestions? I would be happy if it could be solved in Linear Layout.

I think this is the shortest solution, although I cannot think of anything not including additional layout. Add it at the end of your xml (still in the LinearLayout).

<FrameLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent">
        <Button
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_gravity="bottom" />
    </FrameLayout>
