Is deprecated word the only difference between fill_parent and match_parent

As you said they are exact the same. As Romain Guy said, they have changed the name because "fill_parent" was confusing for developers. As matter of the fact, "fill_parent" does not fill the remaining space (for that you use the weight attribute) but it takes as much space as its layout parent. That’s why the new name is "match_parent".
