    <RelativeLayout android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:background="#f0f0" android:id="@+id/relativeLayout2"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:layout_above="@+id/relativeLayout1"

</RelativeLayout>

If your layout is as simple as the above shown, I would use LinearLayout - mostly because I find working with relative layouts a bit annoying and harder to find bugs in.

A sample would be:

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<LinearLayout android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:id="@+id/linearLayout1"
    android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_weight="1"
    android:background="@android:color/darker_gray">
         <!-- Put widgets here -->
    </LinearLayout>
    <LinearLayout android:layout_height="100dp"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:id="@+id/linearLayout2"
    android:orientation="vertical" android:background="@android:color/background_light">
         <!-- Put widgets here -->
    </LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
