How to apply gravity to the items in Linear Layout, whose orientation is Horizontal?

Question

I have a Parent linear layout, whose orientation is vertical, under this i have another layout whose orientation is vertical, and it has a child layout whose orientation is Horizontal.

This layout has 2 Image Views. , I want to apply gravity to these Image views.1 With left-gravity, and 1 with right-gravity.

When i apply gravity to this layout it does not make any effect, but if i remove the last horizontal layout it perfectly works, but shows 1 image up and 1 down.

This is my code, Kindly guide me

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:background="#b9000000"
    android:id="@+id/ll_black_overlay"
    >

   //There are 2 More layouts, whith weights 20 and 50

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="0dp"
        android:layout_weight="30"
        android:orientation="vertical"
        android:paddingTop="20dp"
        android:paddingLeft="70dp"
        android:paddingRight="70dp"

        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="horizontal"

        >

        <ImageView
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="50dp"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:src="@drawable/icn_tour_arrow_left"
            android:layout_gravity="left"
            />


        <ImageView
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="50dp"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:src="@drawable/icn_tour_arrow_right"
