Align Buttons horizontally with equal spacing in linearlayout

i am trying to make a Linear Layout with 5 buttons horizontally placed with equal spacing, but all the buttons size (width) should be 40dp only.

i tried this :

<LinearLayout   android:id="@+id/button_layout"
                    android:background="#DCE1DC"
                    android:orientation="horizontal"
                    android:weightSum="5"
                    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                    android:layout_height="70dip">

        <Button     android:id="@+id/button_A"
                    android:layout_weight="1"
                    android:layout_height="60dp"
                    android:layout_width="0dp"
                    android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
                    android:layout_marginLeft="30dp"/>

        <Button     android:id="@+id/button_B"
                    android:layout_weight="1"
                    android:layout_height="60dp"
                    android:layout_width="0dp"
                    android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
                    android:layout_marginLeft="30dp"/>

        <Button     android:id="@+id/button_C"
                    android:layout_weight="1"
                    android:layout_height="60dp"
                    android:layout_width="0dp"
                    android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
                    android:layout_marginLeft="30dp"/>

        <Button     android:id="@+id/button_D"
                    android:layout_weight="1"
                    android:layout_height="60dp"
                    android:layout_width="0dp"
                    android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
                    android:layout_marginLeft="30dp"/>

        <Button     android:id="@+id/button_E"
                    android:layout_weight="1"
                    android:layout_height="60dp"
                    android:layout_width="0dp"
                    android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
                    android:layout_marginRight="30dp"
                    android:layout_marginLeft="30dp"/>

i guess this will resolve your query...

as you say you are using Linearlayout then you can do something like...

<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="yourheight"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<Button 
android:id="@+id/button_name"
android:weight="1"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent" />

<Button 
android:id="@+id/button_name"
android:weight="1"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent" />

//add as many buttons as you want 


<Button 
android:id="@+id/button_name"
android:weight="1"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent" />
</LinearLayout>

For each button, change this:

android:layout_width="0dp"

To this:

android:layout_width="40dp"
