I’m trying to edit the layout file so that two buttons appear side by side and not one above the other. The following is code from the layout file:

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="225dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="@color/dark_yellow"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:padding="12dip" >

<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"
android:paddingBottom="12dip"
android:text="@string/dialog_text"
android:textColor="@color/light_yellow"
android:textSize="@dimen/font_medium" />

<Button
android:id="@+id/btn_go_to_new_App"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:onClick="Go"
android:text="@string/btn_go" />

<Button
android:id="@+id/btn_stay"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:onClick="stay"
android:text="@string/btn_stay_at_lifecycle" />

</LinearLayout>

As of right now, btn_go is appearing above btn_stay_at_lifecycle. What do I need to do to make btn_stay_at_lifecycle appear on the right of btw_go?

Thanks!

android:textColor="@color/light_yellow"
android:textSize="@dimen/font_medium" />

<LinearLayout

       <Button
    android:id="@+id/btn_go_to_new_App"
    android:layout_width="0dp"

    android:layout_weight=".5"
