make an object in xml that would have the width and height of half of the screen

For the xml line: android:layout_width="fill_parent", is there a const value like fill_parent/2? I want my object to fill only half of the screen and not all of it.

You can use "weight" of the linear layout for this purpose. e.g. if you want to divide available space between two control:

<LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent">
        <EditText 
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_weight="1.0"/>
        <EditText 
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_weight="1.0"/>
</LinearLayout>
