Align linear layouts to the left & right in listview custom row

Question

Here is the situation :

I'm only using LinearLayouts (see code below), and I need the right box to be always stuck to the far right side of the screen. If i use my device in portrait mode, it's fine, but when i turn to landscape or simply go on a larger device, its just ugly.

What can I do? I've tried a 100 things with gravity/layout_gravity/relative layouts and it just does not work.

Note : This will end as a row in a list. The problematic linear layout contains two textview which are pretty small (~30dp wide) and on top of each other.

Here is the code for the above screenshot :

</LinearLayout>
