Whenever split some view like (Button , Text View) in equally in Horizontal / Vertical

android:weight Sum / android:layout_weight Technique use...

Must remember one thing these technique must support in Linear Layout only but here you want to use Relative Layout so that simply put your Linear Layout inside Relative Layout ..

Must Follow These Rules :

1> set android:weight Sum into your Linear Layout

2> set android:layout_width each child View inside "0dp"

3> set android:layout_weight each child View depend upon how many child view & android:weight Sum(e.g: android:weight Sum = "2" & two child view then layout_weight="1" , layout_weight="1")

Ex:

     <RelativeLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" >

        <LinearLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:orientation="horizontal"
            android:weightSum="2" >

            <TextView
                android:layout_width="0dp"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_weight="1"
                android:text="child View 1" />

            <TextView
                android:layout_width="0dp"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_weight="1"
                android:text="child View 2"/>
        </LinearLayout>
    </RelativeLayout>

if Layout Orientation is Vertical then only set android:layout_height is "0dp" instead of android:layout_width
