Non equal width of button inside LinearLayout inside RelativeLayout

Can't understand, why buttons are not identical in their sizes. Earlier, I used LinearLayout instead of RelativeLayout as a root, but after some googling I understand, there is no chance to make footer with LL, so I make it RL and adjusted by coping previous LL with buttons to RL, but.. Look at this. I found it with ruler. It really cut my eyes

Also I can't understand, why margin in RL doesn't work anyway (I deleted in from below code), and how I can margin elements inside RL?!

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

    <LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/linearLayout_buttons"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" >

        <Button
            android:id="@+id/button_add"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:text="@string/all_mentions_Add" />

        <Button
            android:id="@+id/button_delete"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:text="@string/all_mentions_Delete" />
    </LinearLayout>

    <ListView
        android:id="@+id/listView_mentions"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_above="@id/linearLayout_buttons" >

    </ListView>

</RelativeLayout>

Just set

android:layout_width="0dp"

instead of

android:layout_width="wrap_content"

in your Buttons, for weights to work (trick!)

Also set android:orientation="horizontal" in your LinearLayout

Try this way,hope this will help you to solve your problem.

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical" >
    <ListView
        android:id="@+id/listView_mentions"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="0dp"
        android:layout_weight="1"/>


    <LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/linearLayout_buttons"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" >

        <Button
            android:id="@+id/button_add"
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:text="@string/all_mentions_Add" />

        <Button
            android:id="@+id/button_delete"
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:text="@string/all_mentions_Delete" />
    </LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>

You can make footer with LL:

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/RelativeLayout_root"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
     android:orientation="vertical">

    <ListView
        android:id="@+id/listView_mentions"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_weight="1">

    </ListView>

    <LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/linearLayout_buttons"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="horizontal" >

        <Button
            android:id="@+id/button_add"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:text="@string/all_mentions_Add" />

        <Button
            android:id="@+id/button_delete"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:text="@string/all_mentions_Delete" />
    </LinearLayout>

</LinearLayout>

Also change width of buttons to match_parent if You want to make width of buttons identically.
