Multiple Buttons/Objects on the same row

Question

I want to have Buttons next to each other on the same line, and I want to have one Button next to an EditText.

I have the Eclipse addon, so I have both the graphical layout, as well as the text. I can't post an image, but I'll describe it: it has two TextViews (irrelevant), followed by an EditText, and then a small unlabeled Button on the next line. The next four lines are buttons labeled Turn N, Turn E, Turn S, and Turn W.

So, next to that EditText is where I want the untitled Button to be, and I want the N, E, S, W Buttons to be setup in a compass-like fashion. However, when I try to drag them on the GUI, it binds them to the row, and whenever I try to change the layout, it affects everything, rather than only the one object I'm right-clicking.

How do I fix this?

Something like this:

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/relativeLayout1"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent" >

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textView1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:text="TextView" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textView2"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:layout_below="@id/textView1"
        android:text="TextView" />

    <EditText
        android:id="@+id/editText1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:layout_below="@id/textView2"
        android:layout_toLeftOf="@+id/button1" >
    </EditText>

    <Button
        android:id="@id/button1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
        android:layout_below="@id/textView2"
        android:text="Button" />

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/button2"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_below="@id/editText1"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:text="Button" />

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/button3"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_below="@id/button2"
        android:layout_toLeftOf="@id/button2"
        android:text="Button" />

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/button4"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_below="@id/button2"
        android:layout_toRightOf="@id/button2"
        android:text="Button" />

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/button5"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_below="@id/button4"
        android:layout_toLeftOf="@id/button4"
        android:text="Button" />

</RelativeLayout>
