    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:gravity="bottom"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

    <FrameLayout
        android:id="@+id/frame"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_below="@+id/previous_btn"
        android:layout_weight="0.88" >

        <ImageView
            android:id="@+id/imageView"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:scaleType="matrix" />
    </FrameLayout>

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/previous_btn"
        android:layout_width="100dip"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Previous" />

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/next_btn"
        android:layout_width="100dip"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/previous_btn"
        android:text="Next" />

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/button"
        android:layout_width="100dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="center"
        android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/next_btn"
        android:text="Save Picture" />

</RelativeLayout>

Well your FrameLayout is set to wrap_content for height, and the ImageView is set to match_parent on height. So that's sorta contradictory. Haha. And I'm not sure how you're using weights in a relative layout. Unless that's leftover from when you used a LinearLayout. And your previous_btn has no location in the relativelayout set.
