Android Lollipop device does not show bottom buttons

I have made layout which has buttons at bottom part: 

<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
 xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
 android:layout_width="match_parent"
 android:layout_height="match_parent"
 tools:context="my.site.com.myapp.fragments.NewsFragment">

<!— TODO: Update blank fragment layout —>

<RelativeLayout
 android:layout_width="match_parent"
 android:layout_height="match_parent">

<ListView
 android:layout_width="match_parent"
 android:layout_height="match_parent"
 android:id="@+id/newsListView"
 android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
 android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
 android:layout_marginBottom="48dp" />

<LinearLayout
 android:orientation="horizontal"
 android:layout_width="match_parent"
 android:layout_height="wrap_content"
 android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
 android:id="@+id/linearLayout4">

<Button
 android:layout_width="wrap_content"
 android:layout_height="wrap_content"
 android:text="All Events"
 android:id="@+id/fromNewsToAllEventsButton"
 android:layout_weight="1"
 android:background="@android:color/holo_blue_bright"/>

<Button
 android:layout_width="wrap_content"
 android:layout_height="wrap_content"
 android:id="@+id/fromNewsToAllSharesButton"
 android:layout_weight="1"
 android:text="Shares"
 android:background="@android:color/holo_blue_dark"/>
</LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
</FrameLayout>

Android 4.1 able to show bottom buttons while Android 5.1 does not.

Android 5.1 and Android 4.1

On the left side Android 5.1 on the right side Android 4.1.

Does Android 5.1 requires additional configurations on layouts? If it is feature of new versions, then it is bad feature.

The main problem is that If this layout is placed on Activity it shows buttons. However it fails to show in Fragment

I have to fix your layout replace your xml with below code.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context="my.site.com.myapp.fragments.NewsFragment">


        <RelativeLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <LinearLayout
        android:orientation="horizontal"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        android:id="@+id/linearLayout4">

        <Button
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="All Events"
            android:id="@+id/fromNewsToAllEventsButton"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:background="@android:color/holo_blue_bright"/>

        <Button
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:id="@+id/fromNewsToAllSharesButton"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:text="Shares"
            android:background="@android:color/holo_blue_dark"/>
    </LinearLayout>


    <ListView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:id="@+id/newsListView"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:layout_above="@id/linearLayout4"
        android:layout_marginBottom="5dp"
        />
