layout xml positioning syling

i dont know much about styling a layout, i want that some object will be attached to the right side of the creen, and some will be attached to the left side of the screen.

I have this xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout 
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="horizontal" 
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:padding="10dp">

     <TextView android:id="@+id/name"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:gravity="center_vertical"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        android:textStyle="bold"
        android:textSize="22dp"
        android:textColor="#000000"
        android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
        android:layout_marginBottom="5dp"
         android:text="TextView" />

     <TextView android:id="@+id/date"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:gravity="center_vertical"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        android:textStyle="bold"
        android:textSize="22dp"
        android:textColor="#000000"
        android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
        android:layout_marginBottom="5dp"
         android:text="TextView" />

     <TextView
         android:id="@+id/score"
         android:layout_width="wrap_content"
         android:layout_height="fill_parent"
         android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
         android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
         android:layout_marginBottom="5dp"
         android:layout_marginLeft="0dp"
         android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
         android:gravity="center_vertical"
         android:text="TextView"
         android:textColor="#000000"
         android:textSize="22dp"
         android:textStyle="bold" />

</LinearLayout>

i want that the TextView score will be at the left side of the screen; i mean that left will be 0.

In a horizontal LinearLayout, views are displayed from left to right. So, if you want score to be fixed at the left, you have to put it, inside the LinearLayout, but before both name and date.

If you want another view to be fixed to the right, you have to make the "middle" view to fill the remaining space. You usually would do this by setting its layout_widthto 0dp and it's layout_weightto 1.

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

<TextView
     android:id="@+id/score"
     android:layout_width="wrap_content"
     android:layout_height="fill_parent" 
     ... />

 <TextView android:id="@+id/name"
    android:layout_width="0dp"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:layout_weight="1" 
    ... />

 <TextView android:id="@+id/date"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent" 
    ... />

</LinearLayout>

If you need more flexibility, try using a RelativeLayout instead.
