Solving design issues in XML?

When im designing my android app im using XML and for this app im using the Relative layout but when i put the buttons on my screen with the png background i made its just looking bad.. the buttons are not put equaly like they should.. Look at this picture:

I think you have to check the android:layout_... of every item that is showing wrong. For example, the declaration for the number 5 button is:

<Button android:background="@drawable/number5" android:layout_marginLeft="5dp" android:layout_marginRight="5dp" android:layout_marginTop="5dp" android:layout_marginBottom="5dp" android:id="@+id/number5" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_below="@+id/number8" android:layout_alignLeft="@+id/divided"></Button>

If you look closely the android:layout_alignLeft declaration is pointing to de divide button (@+id/divided) that is far away. There is a similar situation with the button for number 6.

Try this declaration for number 5 button:

<Button android:background="@drawable/number5" android:layout_marginLeft="5dp" android:layout_marginRight="5dp" android:layout_marginTop="5dp" android:layout_marginBottom="5dp" android:id="@+id/number5" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_below="@+id/number8" android:layout_alignLeft="@+id/number4"></Button>

Hope this helps
