LinearLayout Not Showing

I believe my problem stems from my use of weights and the RelativeLayout that immediately follows the LinearLayout not containing any...I can't get it to work though.

Here is what I am trying to accomplish (focusing on the center area with the background image) I get this by making background of LinearLayout the image...I can't do this with RemoteViews): enter image description here

Here is what I get with the xml that follows: enter image description here

Solution

Here is my adjusted xml layout...removed weightsum and related items from outer most LinearLayout:

    <LinearLayout 
        android:id="@+id/forecast_ll"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"

        android:background="@drawable/transparent"
        android:layout_weight="4.5"
        >
        <RelativeLayout
