What is the difference between match_parent and fill_parent?
android, android-layout
Solution
They're the same thing (in API Level 8+). Use `match_parent`.
FILL_PARENT (renamed MATCH_PARENT in API Level 8 and higher), which means that the view wants to be as big as its parent (minus padding)
...
`fill_parent`: The view should be as big as its parent (minus padding). This constant is deprecated starting from API Level 8 and is replaced by `match_parent`.

Problem
I'm a little confused about two XML properties: `match_parent` and `fill_parent`. It seems that both are the same. Is there any difference between them?
