there is no true percentage setting, but you might get close.

it seems like the easiest way to achieve this is to use an image as your background drawable and just do a black and white split image.

the only other way I know to split anything is to use 2 views, each with its own bg color, and each given the same positive value for android:layout_weight attribute (ie. 50/50). they will then split the available space.

hope this helps!
