Height of linearlayout in android studio

Question

I have a problem with my linear layouts. There is two linear layout vertical in a horizontal parents, the first one dont take the same height of the second.

There is my LinearLayout :

<LinearLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="horizontal">


    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="vertical"
        android:background="@android:color/darker_gray">
        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/nomPers"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="Nom User"
            android:textColor="@android:color/black"
            android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"/>

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/dateVisite"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:lines="1"
            android:ellipsize="end"
            android:text="Date"
            android:textColor="@android:color/black"
            android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"/>
    </LinearLayout>

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:orientation="vertical">


        <TextView
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall"
            android:text="Type de visite"
            android:id="@+id/typeVisteCli"
            android:textColor="@android:color/black"
            android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"/>
        <TextView
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall"
            android:id="@+id/tv_list_obs_visite_cli"
            android:text="obs"
            android:textColor="@android:color/black"
            android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"/>


    </LinearLayout>


</LinearLayout>

And a screen of what i have :

You can see that the gray dont fill the entire linearLayout. Thx.

EDIT

I'm really sorry i put the wrong LinearLayout ...

The same code is working perfectly, so there might be some problem with how you implement it in the recyclerview, so can you please share that code as well? — Karan Mehta, Jan 21 '20 at 08:57

You have wrote wrap_content in second linear layout height.You should change it with match_parent.
