They're the same thing (in API Level 8+). Use match_parent.
FILL_PARENT (renamed MATCH_PARENT in API Level 8 and higher), which means that the view wants to be as big as its parent (minus padding)
fill_parent: The view should be as big as its parent (minus padding). This constant is deprecated starting from API Level 8 and is replaced by match_parent.
Functionally no difference, Google just changed the name from fill_parent to match_parent, from API level 8 (Android 2.2). FILL_PARENT is still available for compatibility reason.
LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT and LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT both have value -1. Not sure what tempted google to change from Fill Parent to Match Parent :)
Since most of the phones are >= Android 2.2 .. you should use Match Parent for future compatibility... not sure when they will discontinue the older Fill Parent constant!
