Android Button positioning

In android I have four different buttons. I set two button horizontally side by side by using android:layout_weight="1". When i did this another two buttons came aside the previous two buttons. I want to make a group of another two button horizontally just bottom of the previous two buttons.How I can do this?? I am using Eclipse(Hilious) and Android 2.3.3 Here is my xml code:

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


    <Button
    android:layout_width="20px" 
    android:text="Second Activity" 
    android:id="@+id/button1" 
    android:gravity="center"
    android:layout_weight="1"
    android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content">
    </Button>

    <Button 
    android:layout_width="20px" 
    android:text="Third Activity" 
    android:id="@+id/button2" 
    android:layout_weight="1"
    android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content">
    </Button>


    <Button
     android:id="@+id/button3" 
     android:layout_width="20px" 
     android:layout_weight="1"
     android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
     android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
     android:text="Fourth Activity">
     </Button>

    <Button 
    android:id="@+id/button4" 
    android:layout_width="20px" 
    android:layout_weight="1"
    android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
    android:text="Fifth Activity">
    </Button>


</LinearLayout>

android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >

<LinearLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="horizontal"
    android:weightSum="1" >
    <Button

Use two layouts like this

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


        <Button
        android:layout_width="20px" 
        android:text="Second Activity" 
        android:id="@+id/button1" 
        android:gravity="center"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content">
        </Button>

        <Button 
        android:layout_width="20px" 
        android:text="Third Activity" 
        android:id="@+id/button2" 
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content">
        </Button>

    </LinearLayout>
        <LinearLayout 
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:orientation="horizontal">
        <Button
         android:id="@+id/button3" 
         android:layout_width="20px" 
         android:layout_weight="1"
         android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
         android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
         android:text="Fourth Activity">
         </Button>

        <Button
