Question

I’m trying to display in an horizontal layout some text on the left, then 2 images side by side on the right of the screen.
I can’t find a way to do that…

It should look like this:

[Some text——————-IMG1-IMG2]

Any idea ?

Why do you not want to use a relative layout? That would be ideal for this situation. If you still want to use a linear layout, try using android:paddingRight='X dip in the layout xml file for textview where X is an integer representing the desired padding.

Edit:
I see you have decided to go with a relative layout. The below will help you out:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<TextView
android:id="@+id/sometext"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Type here:"  android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"/>
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/image2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="@android:drawable/image2"
 android:layout_alignParentRight="true"/>
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/image1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_toLeftOf="@id/image2"/>
</RelativeLayout>
