Use LinearLayout with your desired weightSum and create elements with equal layout_weight. Here is an example ...

<LinearLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:weightSum="5">

    <ImageView
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:src="@drawable/ic_share_white_36dp"/>

    <ImageView
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:src="@drawable/ic_search_white_36dp"/>

    <ImageView
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:src="@drawable/ic_event_note_white_36dp"/>

    <ImageView
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:src="@drawable/ic_brush_white_36dp"/>

    <ImageView
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:src="@drawable/ic_menu_white_36dp"/>
</LinearLayout>

So, the weight sum of all elements is 5. Here is the screenshot ...

Note that, Google Material Design icons are used. Hope this is helpful.

Use android:layout_width="0px" and android:layout_weight="1" on the three Buttons. That says the buttons should take up no more than 0 pixels, but the three of them should split any extra space between them. That should give you the visual effect you wish.
