Answer 1

You should use RelativeLayout instead of LinearLayout, and set the layout_alignParentRight attribute for the second ImageButton to true:

android:layout_alignParentRight="true"

so your layout would look like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout android:id="@+id/relativeLayout1" 
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:gravity="center_horizontal" 
    android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_gravity="fill">
    <ImageButton android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
        android:id="@+id/imageButton1" 
        android:src="@drawable/arrow_button_left" 
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
    <ImageButton android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
        android:id="@+id/imageButton2" 
        android:src="@drawable/arrow_button_right" 
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentRight="true" />
</RelativeLayout>
