    android:text="hi" />
<TextView
    android:id="@+id/name"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"

    android:text="2hi2" />
 </LinearLayout>

Answer 2

Have android:layout_width as 0dp. Then set 0.5 weights for each of the text view's. Each of the textview will fill half the width of the parent Layout. Something like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
>
<TextView
     android:id="@+id/titlename"  
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
android:text="@string/HostName"
 android:layout_weight="0.5"

/>
<TextView
     android:id="@+id/name"  
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
 android:layout_weight="0.5"
/>
</LinearLayout>
