        android:textSize="10pt"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:paddingLeft="5dip"
        android:textColor="#F7F7F7"
        />

</LinearLayout>

Answer 1

If I understand your question correctly, you're looking to apply some padding to an ImageView that you display to the right of the titlebar TextView. You can use android:paddingRight in your root LinearLayout like this:

<LinearLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="horizontal"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="50dip"
    android:gravity="center_vertical"
    android:paddingLeft="5dip"
    android:paddingRight="5dip
    android:background="#222222">

Alternatively, you can specify the android:paddingRight attribute in the ImageView that you want to align to the right.
