CodePudding user response：

Thats because you have self closed the 2nd LinearLayout and then below you have made it like container so the below code is not included in the linear block code !!

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

you should not close it like this is should be like

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