How to set minimum width on a LinearLayout element when using weightSum and layout_weight

I set the width of my LinearLayout's childs as percentages of the layout.

It displays fine on 7 and 10 inches screens, but on 5 inches, the given percentage yields a width too small for the text.

The child's minWidth attribute is ignored.

How can I set a minimum width on a child ?

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/layout_file_seek_bar"
    android:orientation="horizontal"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="60dp"
    android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
    android:weightSum="100"
    android:gravity="center_vertical">

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textView_file_playing_time"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_weight="8"
        android:minWidth="100dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
        android:textColor="#ffffff"
        android:text="00:00"
        android:layout_marginLeft="15dp"
    />

    <SeekBar
        android:id="@+id/seek_bar_source_file"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_weight="92"
        android:layout_height="40dp"
        android:indeterminate="false"
    />

</LinearLayout>

This Should Work

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/layout_file_seek_bar"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"

    android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
    android:gravity="center_vertical"
    android:orientation="horizontal"
    android:weightSum="100" >

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textView_file_playing_time"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginLeft="15dp"
        android:maxWidth="100dp"
        android:text="00:00"
        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
        android:textColor="#000000" />
    <SeekBar
