Edit Report

Instead of using LinearLayout as a parent layout use Relative Layout. Try to use the following code

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:id="@+id/relative01"
        >
    <TextView  
        android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
        android:text="@string/hello"
        android:background="#FF8A11" 
        android:padding="8dip"
        android:id="@+id/textView01"
        />
        <LinearLayout
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_below="@id/textView01"
    >
    <com.game.viewdot.ViewDot
 android:id="@+id/DrawView"
 android:layout_width="fill_parent"
 android:layout_height="wrap_content"
 />   
     </LinearLayout>



     <LinearLayout
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="horizontal"
    android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
    >

    <TextView  

    android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
    android:text="Another Text View"
    android:background="#FF8A11"
    android:padding="8dip"

    />

    </LinearLayout>

    </RelativeLayout>

Hope this will help you...:)
