                android:layout_width="50dp"
                android:layout_height="50dp"
                android:layout_weight="1"
                android:drawableTop="@drawable/upgrade"

                android:drawableTop="@drawable/kalash_bottom"
                android:gravity="center"
                android:text="@string/panchang"
                android:textSize="8sp" />

            <TextView

                android:layout_height="50dp"
                android:layout_weight="1"
                android:drawableTop="@drawable/timer_bottom"
                android:gravity="center"
                android:text="@string/timespan"

            <TextView

                android:layout_height="50dp"
                android:layout_weight="1"
                android:drawableTop="@drawable/reminder_bottom"
                android:gravity="center"
                android:text="@string/reminders"
                android:textSize="8sp" />
            <!--
         <TextView android:id="@+id/calendar_4" android:layout_width="50dp" android:layout_height="50dp" android:drawableTop="@drawable/calendar_bottom"
         android:text="@string/calendar" android:textSize="8sp" android:gravity="center" android:layout_weight="1"/>
            -->
        </LinearLayout >
    </LinearLayout>

</ScrollView>

What this looks like is on the left and what I want it to look like is on the right, I also tried it by replacing LinearLayout to RelativeLaout but still not working. Please Help.!

You can include your LinearLayout into a FrameLayout and select in your LinearLayout the attribute android:layout_gravity="bottom":

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

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="bottom">

        <!--Your LinearLayout content-->

    </LinearLayout>

</FrameLayout>
