I think you have 2 problems.

1. your first child in linear layout that is map view , has fill_parent as width and height, which will occupy the entire screen the linear layout occupies which is the screen, hence you cannot see linear layout which has buttons.

2. I think you want the buttons at the bottom of map view, if you don't then there is no problem. If yes, then you might want to change the orientation of parent linear layout to vertical because the default orientation is horizontal.

HTH.

Try this code

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
 android:layout_height="match_parent">
<com.google.android.maps.MapView android:id="@+id/google_maps"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:apiKey="@string/maps_key"/>
<Button android:id="@+id/googlemaps_select_location"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:text="Select"/>
