Whenever split some view like (Button , Text View) in equally in Horizontal / Vertical

android:weight Sum / android:layout_weight Technique use...

Must remember one thing these technique must support in Linear Layout only but here you want to use Relative Layout so that simply put your Linear Layout inside Relative Layout ..

Must Follow These Rules :

1> set android:weight Sum into your Linear Layout

2> set android:layout_width each child View inside "0dp"

3> set android:layout_weight each child View depend upon how many child view & android:weight Sum(e.g: android:weight Sum = "2" & two child view then layout_weight="1" , layout_weight="1")

Ex:

     <RelativeLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" >

        <LinearLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:orientation="horizontal"
            android:weightSum="2" >

            <TextView
                android:layout_width="0dp"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_weight="1"
                android:text="child View 1" />

            <TextView
                android:layout_width="0dp"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_weight="1"
                android:text="child View 2"/>
        </LinearLayout>
    </RelativeLayout>

if Layout Orientation is Vertical then only set android:layout_height is "0dp" instead of android:layout_width

Set the layout_width to fill_parent for both TextViews and give them the same layout_weight like 1.0 and that should do it (or not give either one a layout_weight).

Something like this should do the trick:

<LinearLayout 
 android:layout_width = "fill_parent"
android:layout_height = "wrap_content"
 orientation = "horizontal">
        <TextView
            android:layout_width = "fill_parent"
            android:layout_height = "wrap_content"
            android:text = "Text 1"
        />
        <TextView
            android:layout_width = "fill_parent"
            android:layout_height = "wrap_content"
            android:text = "Text 2"
        />
    </LinearLayout>

You can try using weight with creating an linear layout in your relative layout then set the android:layout_width="fill_parent" and the android:weightSum = 2 and the android:orientation="horizontal", after that place the textview inside the linear layout and set the weight of each textview 1.

<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width = "fill_parent" 
android:layout_height = "wrap_content">
<LinearLayout 
android:layout_width = "fill_parent" 
android:layout_height = "wrap_content" 
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:weightSum = "2">
            <TextView
                android:layout_width = "fill_parent"
                android:layout_height = "wrap_content"
                android:text = "YOUR FIRST TEXT"
                android:weight = "1"
            />
            <TextView
                android:layout_width = "fill_parent"
                android:layout_height = "wrap_content"
                 android:text = "YOUR SECOND TEXT"
                android:weight = "1"
            />
        </LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>

the weight sum will be used to measured the portion of the textview like if you give the weight sum 3 and give 1 textview weight = 2 and another textview weight = 1 the layout will be 2/3 (66.666%) and 1/3 (33.3333%) so if you set it 2 and give every textview weight = 1 it should be 50% and 50%

It works for me, if you have any question feel free to ask in the comment :)
