Android TableLayout height does not fills the whole screen

Question

I have a linear layout with just a single TableLayout in it. The Table Layout further has two rows with two columns each. First Table Row has two Images. Second Table Rows has two buttons.

But this does not show up on the complete screen, rather only shows on the first half or maybe depends on the image height. Both the images are actually same file, but shown with different Widths. Help please... here is the Layout file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical">

    <TableLayout
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:stretchColumns="*">

        <TableRow
            android:layout_height="fill_parent">

            <ImageView
                android:id="@+id/tp_image"
                android:layout_width="0dip"
                android:layout_height="fill_parent"
                android:layout_weight="0.9"
                android:scaleType="fitXY"
                android:src="@drawable/images" />

            <ImageView 
                android:id="@+id/s_image"
                android:src="@drawable/images"
                android:layout_width="0dip"
                android:layout_height="fill_parent"
                android:scaleType="fitXY"
                android:layout_weight="0.1"
                />
        </TableRow>
        <TableRow >
            <Button 
                android:id="@+id/button_LC"
                android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:text="@string/button_LC"/>
            <Button 
                android:id="@+id/button_RC"
                android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:text="@string/button_RC"/>
        </TableRow>
    </TableLayout>
</LinearLayout>
