Have you tried this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical" >
    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="0dp"
        android:layout_weight="0.54" >
        <Button
            android:id="@+id/Button01"
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:layout_weight="1.00"
            android:text="Button" />    
        <Button
            android:id="@+id/Button02"
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:layout_weight="1.00"
            android:text="Button" />    
    </LinearLayout>
    <Button
        android:id="@+id/button3"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"

        <Button

    <LinearLayout

        android:layout_height="0dp"
        android:layout_weight="1" >    
        <LinearLayout
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:orientation="vertical" >   
            <Button
                android:id="@+id/button4"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="152dp"
                android:text="Button" />    
            <Button
                android:id="@+id/button5"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:text="Button" />    
        </LinearLayout>    
        <LinearLayout
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:orientation="vertical" >
            <Button
                android:id="@+id/button6"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:text="Button" />
            <Button
                android:id="@+id/button7"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"

                android:text="Button" />
        </LinearLayout>
    </LinearLayout>

</LinearLayout>

Answer 2

You create in this order:

LinearLayout(VERTICAL) with weightSum of 2;

LinearLayout(VERTICAL) with weight of 1 and weightSum of 3;

Inside it will be 3 layouts, horizontal linear layout with weight of .70, horizontal linear layout with weight of .50 and an imageView with weight of 1.80

LinearLayout(VERTICAL) with weight of 1 and weight sum of 3;

Inside it will be 3 linear layouts

2 *(2 of these) -horizontal with weight of .50 and weight sum of 2 inside this horizontal layout will be two image views with a weight of 1 each

thirdly and finally an image view with the weight 1.50

do this and you'l have the correctly weighted layout to your liking
