i m done with that adding a weight= 1 did my work.

<LinearLayout android:id="@+id/rl1" android:orientation="horizontal" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_below="@+id/message" >

<EditText android:id="@+id/search_bar" android:singleLine="true" android:hint="Search"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_weight="1" android:layout_height="wrap_content"></EditText>
<Button android:id="@+id/search_submit" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignParentRight="true" android:text="Search"></Button>
