Android Question Is it a bug or my limited understanding of layouts??

[Small Petit]

Hello, I have two layout files and I loaded them like so:

Activity.LoadLayout("Layout")
pnlMainPage.LoadLayout("content")

My main layout is just a panel centered on the screen as shown below:

And the content layout has the following arrangement:

Now, when I anchor Button1 to the bottom of the content layout, this is what I get as the end result:

And when I anchor it to the top, I rather get the following image as the output:

It seems the anchor is doing exactly opposite what I am expecting. Please is this a bug or I still haven't understood the concept of layouts well? Thank you.

I thank you all for the comments and suggestions. I am still new to B4X (I think just one week old into B4X programming). I will take my time and download the sample zip files and see what happens. Indeed thank you all for your time.

Moved to the questions forum. It is unlikely a bug.

Please upload the project with the button anchored to the bottom.

Tip: don't waste your time with activities. Switch to B4XPages.

Attached is my project. Thank you.

Yes.

Put a solid non-transparent colour for the Activity in layContent and see that the panel adopts that colour - it does for me.

Yes but what I wanted to achieve is that the color of the container panel be preserved, for this reason I tried setting to transparent what you say...

the Activity in layContent

Yes but what I wanted to achieve is that the color of the container panel be preserved,

In that case I think you need to programmatically save the Panel colour, load the layout and then reset the colour, though that doesn't seem to achieve anything better than setting it in the layout in the first place - although I guess you might want to reuse the layout with a different background colour.
