If you want to keep using a RelativeLayout, you will have to set the width in dip (instead of wrap_content) for the TextView "lblanswer2", otherwise it will always take the whole place if your text is long.

If using a RelativeLayout is not a necessity, you can follow pratik's answer and implement a LinearLayout, this way your 2 TextViews will share the width equally.

Use LinearLayout instead of RelativeLayout and give layout_weight=1 to both the TextView you will get result whatever you want.
