I am trying to add a Button in a LinearLayout after a TextView but it is not showing up.

Here is my layout code

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/LinearLayout01"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="45dip">

    <TextView android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="45dip"
        android:paddingLeft="5dip"
        android:paddingRight="5dip"
        android:textStyle="bold"
        android:textSize="17dip"
        android:gravity="center_vertical"
        android:id="@+id/tvChild"
        android:text="Children"
        android:textColor="#ffCCCC22" />

    <Button android:id="@+id/submit"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        android:text="Submit" />
</LinearLayout>

The TextView is displayed correctly with proper text but instead of a Button I am getting a big blank space of three to four lines length.

What am I missing?

You could also try something similar to this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context=".MainActivity"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_margin="10dp"

    >

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_weight="3"
        android:layout_gravity="center"
        android:text="Hello World!"/>

    <Button
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:layout_gravity="center"
        android:text="Submit"/>

</LinearLayout>
