how to layout 2 buttons

I want 2 buttons to appear in the center of the screen, but at the bottom of the screen..

Here is what I have so far.

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

    <TableLayout android:layout_width="match_parent"
     android:id="@+id/tableLayout2" 
    android:layout_gravity="center"
     android:layout_height="fill_parent"
     android:stretchColumns="@string/app_name">

        <TableRow android:id="@+id/tableRow1"
         android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
        android:layout_height="wrap_content">

            <Button android:text="History"
             android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
             android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal" 
             android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
             android:id="@+id/button1"
            ></Button>
            <Button android:text="RecordSpending" 
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
             android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
             android:id="@+id/button2"
             android:gravity="center_vertical"></Button>
        </TableRow>

    </TableLayout>
</LinearLayout>

I want this whole layout to appear at the bottom of the screen..(no matter what phone resolution the user has)..

I want the two columns to be equal in size and the bottoms located in the center horizontally.

To put two buttons at the bottom of the screen you can do this, psuedo code add relevant attributes.

<!-- This is the parent layout -->    
<RelativeLayout
 android:layout_height="fill_parent"
 android:layout_width="fill_parent" >

     <!-- Layout for your buttons at bottom -->
     <LinearLayout
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true">
        <!-- weight = 1 would mean both buttons are of equal width -->
        <Button
        android:layout_height="wrap_parent"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_weight="1.0" />        
        <Button
        android:layout_height="wrap_parent"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_weight="1.0" />

     </LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
