Android activity design with layouts

I have to create Android activity which looks like this:

Now I've created only such part of the activity.

Which coded this way.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context="ru.alexeyzhulin.elecomp.MainActivity">

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:orientation="vertical"
        tools:layout_editor_absoluteX="0dp"
        tools:layout_editor_absoluteY="0dp">

        <LinearLayout
                android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:layout_height="fill_parent"
                android:orientation="horizontal">

                <ImageButton
                    android:id="@+id/logoButton"
                    android:layout_width="55dp"
                    android:layout_height="55dp"
                    android:layout_weight="0"
                    android:background="@color/colorPrimary"
                    app:srcCompat="@drawable/main_icon" />

                <SearchView
                    android:id="@+id/searchText"
                    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                    android:layout_height="55dp"
                    android:layout_weight="1"
                    android:background="@color/colorPrimary"
                    android:queryHint="@string/search_message"
                    android:textAlignment="center" />

                <ImageButton
                    android:id="@+id/cartButton"
                    android:layout_width="55dp"
                    android:layout_height="55dp"
                    android:layout_weight="0"
                    android:background="@color/colorPrimary"
                    app:srcCompat="@drawable/cart_icon1" />
            </LinearLayout>

    </LinearLayout>
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>

Inside your vertical linear layout you can give 2 more linear layouts with horizontal orientation and also with weightsum =2. Inside both these two linear layouts add 2 more linear layouts with weight =1.Give apropriate paddings for peoper button looks and then you can give the click action to the layouts.

<LinearLayout

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"   //I changed it to wrap_content

Just use this on the top Linear Layout

gravity="center"

OR....

 <ImageButton
                android:layout_weight = "1"
                android:id="@+id/logoButton"
                android:layout_width="55dp"
                android:layout_height="55dp"
                android:layout_weight="0"
                android:background="@color/colorPrimary"
                app:srcCompat="@drawable/main_icon" />

If this doesnt work try to do this : Nest 2 ImageViews inside 1 LinearLayout and create 2 Linear Layouts with weight = 1

Code :

<LinearLayout
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:orientation="horizontal">
<ImageButton
                    android:id="@+id/logoButton"
                    android:layout_width="55dp"
                    android:layout_weight = "1"
                    android:layout_height="55dp"
                    android:layout_weight="0"
                    android:background="@color/colorPrimary"
                    app:srcCompat="@drawable/main_icon" />

                <SearchView
                    android:layout_weight = "1"
                    android:id="@+id/searchText"
                    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                    android:layout_height="55dp"
                    android:layout_weight="1"
                    android:background="@color/colorPrimary"
                    android:queryHint="@string/search_message"
                    android:textAlignment="center" />
     </LinearLayout>
