layout_gravity="bottom" not working

In my android layout, I have two EditText elements. They appear side by side at the bottom of the screen. But when i type multiple lines into the first EditText(on the left), the second one(at the right) also keeps moving upwards even though it is empty. I have specified android:layout_gravity="bottom" and android:gravity="bottom" for the second EditText. But it has no effect. What am i doing wrong? How can i make the second EditText stay at the vertical center of its parent linear layout, no matter how many lines are entered in the first EditText. 

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

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="horizontal" 
        android:background="@drawable/bg_textinput"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true">

        <EditText
            android:id="@+id/text_input"
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_gravity="bottom"
            android:layout_weight="0.7"
            android:inputType="textMultiLine" />

        <EditText
            android:id="@+id/text_input1"
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_gravity="bottom"
            android:gravity="bottom"
            android:layout_weight="0.3"
            android:inputType="textMultiLine" />

        </LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>

This will work:

<LinearLayout
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="horizontal" 
    android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
    android:gravity="center">

    <EditText
        android:id="@+id/text_input"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_weight="0.7"
        android:inputType="textMultiLine" />
    <EditText
        android:id="@+id/text_input1"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:gravity="bottom"
        android:layout_weight="0.3"
        android:inputType="textMultiLine" />
    </LinearLayout>

try this,

<LinearLayout 
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="horizontal" >

    <EditText
        android:id="@+id/text_input"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="bottom"
        android:layout_weight="0.7"
        android:inputType="textMultiLine" />

    <EditText
        android:id="@+id/text_input1"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="bottom"
        android:layout_weight="0.3"
        android:gravity="bottom"
        android:inputType="textMultiLine" />

</LinearLayout>
