As I understand it

Answer 1

Like answer of @Manoj Seelan

Replace android:layout_weight With android:weight.

When you use Weight with LinearLayout. you must add weightSum in LinearLayout and according to orientation of your LinearLayout you must setting 0dp for Width/Height to all LinearLayout`s Children views

Example :

If The orientation of Linearlayout is Vertical , then Set Width of all LinearLayout`s Children views with 0dp

If the orientation Linearlayout of is horizontal , then Set Height of all LinearLayout`s Children views with 0dp.
