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.
