LinearLayout put child at the right side
Solution 1
My way (using a RelativeLayout):
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
>
<TextView
android:id="@+id/productPriceTextView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:text="Rs 3579.0"
/>
<Button
android:id="@+id/buyNowButton1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:text="Buy Now"
/>
</RelativeLayout>
See how I explicitly align the TextView to the Parent's left side and the Button to the Parent's right side
You can then center the TextView vertically in the RelativeLayout, by setting:
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
in the TextView itself
Newr OS versions may prefer this:
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
>
<TextView
android:id="@+id/productPriceTextView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
android:text="Rs 3579.0"
/>
<Button
android:id="@+id/buyNowButton1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentEnd="true"
android:text="Buy Now"
/>
</RelativeLayout>
Solution 2
Try below xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<TextView
android:id="@+id/productPriceTextView1"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:text="Rs 3579.0"
/>
<Button
android:id="@+id/buyNowButton1"
android:layout_width="100dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="right"
android:text="Buy Now" />
</LinearLayout>
Solution 3
There is a cleaner way to do this, using LinearLayout : just give the left element a width of 0 and a weight of 1, and set the right one's width on wrap_content. And that's it!
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<TextView
android:id="@+id/productPriceTextView1"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="Rs 3579.0"
/>
<Button
android:id="@+id/buyNowButton1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Buy Now" />
</LinearLayout>

There are two approach:
1) You can use RelativeLayout
in which you can drag your Button
where you want..
2) You can use weight property for LinearLayout
.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<TextView
android:id="@+id/productPriceTextView1"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_weight="0.8"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:text="Rs 3579.0"
/>
<Button
android:id="@+id/buyNowButton1"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_weight="0.2"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="right"
android:text="Buy Now" />
</LinearLayout>
Solution 5
Use this layout instead..
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<TextView
android:id="@+id/productPriceTextView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Rs 3579.0"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentStart="true" />
<Button
android:id="@+id/buyNowButton1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Buy Now"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_alignParentEnd="true" />
</RelativeLayout>

I m trying to have a textview and a button in linear layout with horizontal orientation. The textview should appear at the starting and the button should appear at the end. I thought giving gravity right to the button would do the trick but the buttons doesn't move to the right side. I m thinking if I should probably use relative layout?
<\LinearLayout android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:orientation="horizontal"> <TextView android:id="@+id/productPriceTextView1" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Rs 3579.0" /> <Button android:id="@+id/buyNowButton1" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_gravity="right" android:text="Buy Now" /> <\/LinearLayout>
