title: Android layout weight not working as I thought
body: <p>following <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3995825/what-does-androidlayout-weight-mean">What does android:layout_weight mean?</a></p>
  
  <p>I have this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;LinearLayout
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
      android:layout_height="fill_parent"
      android:orientation="horizontal" &gt;
  
      &lt;Button
          android:id="@+id/buttonToastSimple"
          android:layout_width="fill_parent"
          android:layout_height="wrap_content"
          android:layout_weight="1"
          android:text="English Toast" /&gt;
  
      &lt;Button
          android:id="@+id/buttonToastFancy"
          android:layout_width="fill_parent"
          android:layout_height="wrap_content"
          android:layout_weight="3"
          android:text="French Toast" /&gt;
  
  &lt;/LinearLayout&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The link tells me buttonToastFancy will take up three quarters of the size (3/(3+1), but it's the other way round. The buttonToastSimple takes up three quarters of the screen size according to Eclipse/my AVD.</p>
  
  <p>What am I doing wrong?</p>
