Maintain textview height in LinearLayout

I have two TextViews in LinearLayout. Layout orientation is in horizontal. I have to maintain both Textview height as equal. But as per text length both are shown in different height.

I had tried to make the same text length like below 

public static String padRight(String s, int n) {

 return String.format("%1$-" + n + "s", s);  

}

But height is bit different. How do i solve this ?

If I didn't misunderstand you you want to TextViews inside a horizontal oriented LinearLayout, and both TextViews must in same height.

Then use a layout something like below:

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="horizontal" >

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textView1"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_weight="1" 
        android:background="#B40431"
        android:text="text sample\ntext sample\ntext sample\ntext sample\ntext sample\ntext sample\n"
        android:gravity="center_vertical"/>

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textView2"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_weight="1" 
        android:background="#0000FF"
        android:text="text sample\ntext sample\ntext sample"
        android:gravity="center_vertical"/>

</LinearLayout>

Output is going to be this:

Because the text is long textview getting bigger So You set the singleLine true of your textView then it will work,

Add this line in your Textview xml:--

    android:singleLine="true"

hope it helps you..
