2 buttons side by side

Question

How can I put 2 buttons side by side, so that they occupy all the width, with a little space between them?

I thought a horiz linear layout, with 2 sub linear layouts set to match parent and weight 1, each of them containing the button. Is there a simpler way? can this be accomplished with relative layouts?

Answer 1

<LinearLayout      android:id="@+id/LinearLayout02"      android:layout_height="wrap_content"      android:layout_width="match_parent"      android:layout_alignParentBottom="true">     <Button          android:id="@+id/Button02"          android:layout_width="match_parent"          android:layout_height="wrap_content"          android:layout_weight="1" android:text="Apply">     </Button>     <Button          android:id="@+id/Button03"          android:layout_width="match_parent"          android:layout_height="wrap_content"         android:layout_weight="1"          android:text="Cancel">     </Button> </LinearLayout> 

Answer 2

If you want that the 2 buttons ocuppy all the width and the buttons have the same width, you must change in the 2 buttons the propertie:

android:layout_width="wrap_content" to android:layout_width="match_parent"

because if you have one of this button with a long text and the other button with short text, the button with long text ocuppy more space.
