<merge xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"&gt;
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
     android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent">
    <ImageView android:id="@+id/maxsapImg" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:scaleType="center" android:src="@drawable/golden_gate"/>
    <RelativeLayout android:id="@+id/InnerRelativeLayout"

        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" android:layout_centerHorizontal="true">
        <Button android:text="@string/camera" android:id="@+id/camerBtn"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
        <Button android:text="@string/local" android:id="@+id/localBtn"  android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_toLeftOf="@+id/camerBtn" android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
    </RelativeLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
</merge>

Answer 2

I added android:orientation="horizontal" to the RelativeLayout tag and changed toLeftOf to android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/camerBtn" in the second button tag

            <RelativeLayout
                    android:id="@+id/InnerRelativeLayout"
                    android:orientation="horizontal"
                    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
                    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true">
                    <Button
                            android:text="@string/camera"
                            android:id="@+id/camerBtn"
                            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                            android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
                    <Button
                            android:text="@string/local"
                            android:id="@+id/localBtn"
                            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                            android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/camerBtn"
                            android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
            </RelativeLayout>

This works for me
