replace your footer layout tag from LinearLayout to RelativeLayout as you have set the attributes of RelativeLayout there like this:

<RelativeLayout android:id="@+id/footer"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:orientation="horizontal"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" style="@android:style/ButtonBar"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_gravity="bottom">

            <Button android:id="@+id/saveButton" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_weight="1"
                android:text="Start" />

            <Button android:id="@+id/cancelButton" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_weight="1"
            android:text="Exit" android:layout_below="@+id/saveButton" />
        </RelativeLayout >

use android:orientation="vertical" and remove android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" and android:layout_gravity="bottom" and use android:gravity="bottom" ... — Vineet Shukla, Aug 16 '11 at 07:34
