Solution 2:

Use this thing to set weigh Sum and weight layout

<LinearLayoutxmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"android:layout_width="match_parent"android:layout_height="match_parent"android:orientation="vertical"android:weightSum="100" ><LinearLayoutandroid:layout_width="match_parent"android:layout_height="0dp"android:layout_weight="10"android:orientation="horizontal" ><Buttonandroid:layout_width="0dp"android:layout_height="match_parent"android:layout_weight="1"android:text="Button 1" /><Buttonandroid:layout_width="0dp"android:layout_height="match_parent"android:layout_weight="1"android:text="Button 2" /></LinearLayout></LinearLayout>
