Space Attribute

Space is a lightweight View subclass that may be used to create gaps between components in general purpose layouts.

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:id="@+id/LinearLayout1"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:background="#FF550D"
    >
    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/text1"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:hint="Show data"
        android:background="#ffffff"
        />
    <Space
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="100dp"
        />
    <Button
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Ok"
        android:onClick="goClick"
        />

</LinearLayout>

Use Space or View to add a specific amount of space. For 30 vertical density pixels: <Space   android:layout_width="1dp"   android:layout_height="30dp"/> If you need a flexible space-filler, use View between items in a LinearLayout: <View   android:layout_width="1dp"   android:layout_height="match_parent"   android:layout_weight="1"/> or <View   android:layout_width="1dp"   android:layout_height="0dp"   android:layout_weight="1"/> This works for most layouts for API 14 & later, except widgets (use FrameLayout instead).
