Answer 1

The android:layout_alignParentBottom attribute has to be declared in an element of the RelativeLayout not in the RelativeLayout himself (unless there is another RelativeLayout as a parent).

You should do something like this, with the ListView inside the RelativeLayout also :

<RelativeLayout 
 android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
 android:layout_height="wrap_content"         
 android:layout_centerHorizontal="true">
  <ListView ...>
  <Button android:id="@+id/btnGetMoreResults"
   android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
   android:layout_width="wrap_content"     
   android:text="Get more"
   android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" />
</RelativeLayout>
