If you want to use LinearLayout, you can do alignment with layout_weight with Space element.
E.g. following layout places textView and textView2 next to each other and textView3 will be right-aligned
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"
android:text="Medium Text"
android:id="@+id/textView" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"
android:text="Medium Text"
android:id="@+id/textView2" />
<Space
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_height="20dp" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"
android:text="Medium Text"
android:id="@+id/textView3" />
</LinearLayout>
you can achieve the same effect without Space if you would set layout_weight to textView2. It's just that I like things more separated, plus to demonstrate Space element.
<TextView
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"
android:text="Medium Text"
android:id="@+id/textView2" />
Note that you should (not must though) set layout_width explicitly as it will be recalculated according to it's weight anyway (same way you should set height in elements of vertical LinearLayout). For other layout performance tips see Android Layout Tricks series.
