If you want to put your button in center you need to use android:layout_gravity="center"

SAMPLE CODE

<LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="250dp"
        android:layout_height="40dp"
        android:layout_gravity="center"
        android:background="@drawable/linear_bg"
        android:orientation="horizontal">

    <com.google.android.material.button.MaterialButton
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:backgroundTint="@android:color/transparent"
            android:text="Login" />

    <View
            android:layout_width="1dp"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:background="@android:color/white" />

    <com.google.android.material.button.MaterialButton
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:backgroundTint="@android:color/transparent"
            android:text="Sign Up" />

</LinearLayout>

drawable/linear_bg

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:shape="rectangle">
    <solid android:color="#3F51B5" />
    <corners android:radius="20dp" />
</shape>
