change your code to 

<LinearLayout
   android:id="@+id/Datelayout"
   android:layout_width="match_parent"
   android:layout_height="match_parent"
   android:gravity="center_horizontal"
   android:orientation="horizontal"
   >
    <EditText
        android:layout_weight="7"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:id="@+id/editText"
        android:hint="-Select Date-"
        android:paddingLeft="10dp"
        android:paddingRight="10dp"
        android:singleLine="true"
        android:textColor="#ffffff"
        android:textSize="15dip"
        android:background="@drawable/customborder" />
    <Button
        android:id="@+id/Button2"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_weight="3"
        android:onClick="addGroup"

            android:id="@+id/editText"
            android:hint="-Select Date-"
            android:paddingLeft="10dp"
            android:paddingRight="10dp"
            android:singleLine="true"
            android:textColor="#ffffff"

Do not specify width in case of weights. Set width of button as well as edittext to 0dp instead.
