Check the changes I made in your code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" >

    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/imageView1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:src="@drawable/ic_launcher" />

    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/imageView2"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:src="@drawable/ic_launcher" />

    <EditText
        android:id="@+id/fbedittext"
        android:layout_width="250dp"
        android:layout_height="140dp"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:layout_below="@+id/imageView1"
        android:layout_marginTop="33dp"
        android:ems="10"
        android:gravity="top"
        android:hint="saysomething"
        android:lines="6"
        android:paddingRight="5dp"
        android:scrollHorizontally="true" />

    <RelativeLayout
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="130dp"
        android:layout_alignBaseline="@id/fbedittext"
        android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
        android:layout_marginRight="10dip"
        android:layout_toRightOf="@id/fbedittexts" >

        <ImageView
            android:id="@+id/imageView3"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
            android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
            android:src="@drawable/ic_launcher" />

        <ImageView
            android:id="@+id/imageView4"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
            android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
            android:src="@drawable/ic_launcher" />
    </RelativeLayout>

    <Spinner
        android:id="@+id/spinner"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_below="@+id/fbedittext" />

</RelativeLayout>

You don’t need LinearLayout. You can use android:layout_marginRight for spacing from right corner.
For dropdown, you can use Spinner
