the start button is big in height and small in width..not able to make exact as cancel buton

Answer 1

Remove android:layout_weight="1.0" from both buttons and android:layout_alignTop="@+id/fbcancel" from start button

Answer 2

Due to different number of characters in the Button Text it's showing like this. you need to give the fixed width and height to the button.
