Yes, but you'll have to do it at runtime as there is not a way to do proportional layout as you describe in xml. To prevent a visible transition from the xml size to the correct size, you'll probably want to extend LinearLayout and override its onLayout(). You'll want to layout your child textview within that and you'll want to use getHeight() to get the height of the LinearLayout at runtime. I'd suggest looking through the code of ListView or RelativeLayout to see how children are measured and layout.
The other option would be to do this after everything is inflated. You can override onFinishInflate of the LinearLayout and then adjust the height of the TextView from there. You'll need to invalidate the TextView after adjusting it's height.
