StackLayout's vertical alignment










0















I'm trying to put a button at the bottom of a StackLayout and it's not working.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong!



enter image description here



Here's my template:



<Page actionBarHidden="true">
<GridLayout rows="*, *, *, *" columns="*">
<StackLayout horizontalAlignment="center"
verticalAlignment="center">
<Label text="My Account" id="login-label"/>
</StackLayout>
<CardView row="1" class="cardStyle" margin="10"
elevation="40"
radius="4"
verticalAlignment="center"
horizontalAlignment="center"
rowSpan="2"
id="login-box">
<StackLayout id="form-container">
<TextField hint="Login"/>
<TextField hint="Password"/>
<Label text="Forgot password?" horizontalAlignment="right"/>
<Button text="Button" @tap="loginButton()" verticalAlignment="bottom"/>
</StackLayout>
</CardView>
</GridLayout>
</Page>


Thank you!

          StackLayout do not support that by its design. It is used to just stack the child elements one after another in given orientation, you can't have mixed output - few child elements at top and few at bottom or center.



          Use Grid / Dock layout in order to dock an element at bottom.
