You have the following line in the middle after android:text="Stojjp"/>:

</LinearLayout>

Remove it, as the inner LinearLayout should be inside the outer LinearLayout.

Also, your inner LinearLayout needs to have a closing >, as well as an android:layout_width and android:layout_height element in order to be valid.

Problem is your second linear Layout. It missing argument. This code :

<LinearLayout 

<Button
android:id="@+id/button8"
android:layout_width="120dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="left"
android:text="Stop"/>


<Button
android:id="@+id/button9"
android:layout_width="120dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="left"
android:text="Stojjp"/>

</LinearLayout>

Should be like that :

<LinearLayout 
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

<Button
android:id="@+id/button8"
android:layout_width="120dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="left"
android:text="Stop"/>


<Button
android:id="@+id/button9"
android:layout_width="120dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="left"
android:text="Stojjp"/>

</LinearLayout>
