You should use a RelativeLayout and just drag them until it looks good            lt ImageView         android id    id button info          android layout width  30dp          android layout height  wrap content          android layout alignParentRight  true          android layout alignParentTop  true          android layout marginRight  10dp          android contentDescription   string pizza          android src   drawable header info button    gt    lt  RelativeLayout gt

For LinearLayout with horizontal orientation  give layout weight to other child view except for the view that you want to align right  This works perfectly    lt LinearLayout             android layout width  quot match parent quot              android layout height  quot wrap content quot              android orientation  quot horizontal quot   gt                    lt TextView                 android layout width  quot wrap content quot                  android layout height  quot wrap content quot                  android layout weight  quot 1 quot                  android text  quot Specialization quot                    gt                    lt TextView                 android layout width  quot wrap content quot                  android layout height  quot wrap content quot                  android text  quot Right quot                  android textColor  quot  ff0000 quot    gt            lt  LinearLayout gt

Do not change the gravity of the LinearLayout to  right  if you don t want everything to be to the right   Try    Change TextView s width to fill parent Change TextView s gravity to right   Code        lt TextView                android text  TextView                 android id    id textView1                android layout width  fill parent                android layout height  wrap content                   android gravity  right  gt       lt  TextView gt

For aligning one element at start and one at the end of the LinearLayout  you can wrap it in an RelativeLayout    lt androidx appcompat widget LinearLayoutCompat     android layout width  quot match parent quot      android layout height  quot wrap content quot      android orientation  quot horizontal quot      android layout margin  quot 8dp quot      android weightSum  quot 2 quot  gt        lt RelativeLayout         android layout width  quot 0dp quot          android layout height  quot wrap content quot          android layout weight  quot 1 quot          android gravity  quot start quot  gt           lt com google android material button MaterialButton             android layout width  quot wrap content quot              android layout height  quot wrap content quot              android text  quot Cancel quot              android textColor  quot  android color background dark quot              android backgroundTint  quot  android color transparent quot   gt       lt  RelativeLayout gt        lt RelativeLayout         android layout width  quot 0dp quot          android layout height  quot wrap content quot          android layout weight  quot 1 quot          android gravity  quot end quot  gt           lt com google android material button MaterialButton             android layout width  quot wrap content quot              android layout height  quot wrap content quot              android textColor  quot  android color background dark quot              android backgroundTint  quot  android color transparent quot              android text  quot Save quot   gt       lt  RelativeLayout gt   lt  androidx appcompat widget LinearLayoutCompat gt   The result of this example is following  Link to the image Note  You can wrap whatever you want inside and align it

Try to change the layout width to android layout width  match parent  because gravity  right  aligns the text inside the layout width  and if you choose wrap content it does not have where to go  but if you choose match parent it can go to the right
