Make buttons in GridLayout fill empty space

Need help at stretching my buttons in GridLayout so they would take all of the free space under the TextView

enter image description here

Here is my hierarchy

P.S. source code:

<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".MainActivity">

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/display"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="100dp"
    app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />

<GridLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:columnCount="4"
    app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/display">

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/buttonOne"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="1"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/display" />

check if you are assigning the height and width in px, and change them to % (percentage).. is there any way you can show the source ?

P.S. this is how i fixed it.. i've changed it to Linear

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/re``s-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".MainActivity">

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/display"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="100dp"
    app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />

<GridLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:columnCount="4"
    app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/display">

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/buttonOne"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:text="1"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/display" />

</GridLayout>
