How to place two views on opposite side of LinearLayout


How can I place the ImageButton on the right side of the screen ?

How it is right now

I think it has to do with "layout_gravity" property, but I can't manage to figure out how to do it. Here is the XML file that creates each line :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:orientation="horizontal">

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/list_generated_text"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:textStyle="bold"
        android:textSize="20dp"
        android:layout_gravity="left|center_vertical" />

    <ImageButton
        android:id="@+id/list_generated_button"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="right"
        android:src="@drawable/ic_refresh"/>

</LinearLayout>

Solution

  • Just add one line in your Text View

    android:layout_weight="1"
    

    Then all will be done as you wanted
