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

    <Button
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="Button 1"/>

    <Button
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="Button 2"/>

    <Button
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="Button 3"/>
    </LinearLayout>
