Custom layout android

I'm trying to create the following design enter image description here

I sort of did it by using PercentRelativeLayout for layouts and AutoResizeTextView for those TextViews, but I ended up with over 10 layouts and I can see that the layout is very slow being rendered. The main problem were the images because I could get them to do what I want only by doing this sort of things:

<android.support.percent.PercentRelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
                        xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
                        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                        android:layout_height="match_parent"
                        android:layout_toLeftOf="@+id/buttonright1layout"
                        android:layout_centerVertical="true"
                        app:layout_heightPercent="40%">

                        <name.company.newapp.PostForm.SelectPhoto.SquareRelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
                            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                            android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
                            android:layout_centerInParent="true">

                            <de.hdodenhof.circleimageview.CircleImageView
                                android:id="@+id/btnright2"
                                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                                android:src="@drawable/me" />
                        </name.company.newapp.PostForm.SelectPhoto.SquareRelativeLayout>
                    </android.support.percent.PercentRelativeLayout>

Could anyone suggest a better approach?

Update:

The loading was caused by a large drawable that I had as a background. I removed it and now it's working fine.Since this thread is here I have a few questions about this design:

  1. Will there be any problems if I don't set the size of the TextViews/set it in sp ?(textSize)

    <TextView android:id="@+id/date_time" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_centerVertical="true" android:text="Text4" android:textColor="#fff" />

  2. Will there be any problems if I set the size of the ImageViews in dp ?

    <ImageView android:id="@+id/img_5" android:layout_width="@dimen/img_size" android:layout_height="@dimen/img_size" android:layout_centerInParent="true" android:background="@drawable/nexticn" />

There's no problem if you don't specify textSize for TextView. Default value is used.

You can set ImageView width and height in dp without problems. In such case it would be useful to specify a value for scaleType attribute for preventing images to be rendered in a bad way.

I think android:layout_weight is what you're after
