[android] Percentage width in a RelativeLayout

Since PercentRelativeLayout was deprecated in 26.0.0 and nested layouts like LinearLayout inside RelativeLayout have a negative impact on performance (Understanding the performance benefits of ConstraintLayout) the best option for you to achieve percentage width is to replace your RelativeLayout with ConstraintLayout.

This can be solved in two ways.

SOLUTION #1 Using guidelines with percentage offset

Layout Editor

<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/host_label"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Host"
        android:layout_marginTop="16dp"
        android:layout_marginLeft="8dp"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="@+id/host_input" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/port_label"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Port"
        android:layout_marginTop="16dp"
        android:layout_marginLeft="8dp"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="@+id/port_input" />

    <EditText
        android:id="@+id/host_input"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
        android:layout_marginLeft="8dp"
        android:layout_marginRight="8dp"
        android:inputType="textEmailAddress"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/host_label"
        app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintRight_toLeftOf="@+id/guideline" />

    <EditText
        android:id="@+id/port_input"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
        android:layout_marginLeft="8dp"
        android:layout_marginRight="8dp"
        android:inputType="number"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/port_label"
        app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="@+id/guideline"
        app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent" />

    <android.support.constraint.Guideline
        android:id="@+id/guideline"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="vertical"
        app:layout_constraintGuide_percent="0.8" />

</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>

SOLUTION #2 Using chain with weighted width for EditText

Layout Editor

<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/host_label"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Host"
        android:layout_marginTop="16dp"
        android:layout_marginLeft="8dp"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="@+id/host_input" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/port_label"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Port"
        android:layout_marginTop="16dp"
        android:layout_marginLeft="8dp"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="@+id/port_input" />

    <EditText
        android:id="@+id/host_input"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
        android:layout_marginLeft="8dp"
        android:layout_marginRight="8dp"
        android:inputType="textEmailAddress"
        app:layout_constraintHorizontal_weight="0.8"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/host_label"
        app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintRight_toLeftOf="@+id/port_input" />

    <EditText
        android:id="@+id/port_input"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
        android:layout_marginLeft="8dp"
        android:layout_marginRight="8dp"
        android:inputType="number"
        app:layout_constraintHorizontal_weight="0.2"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/port_label"
        app:layout_constraintLeft_toRightOf="@+id/host_input"
        app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent" />

</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>

In both cases, you get something like this
