I have, didn't work though.
I eventually changed tracks and solved it with a RelativeLayout:

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android";
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
  android:layout_height="wrap_content"
  android:padding="10dip">

    <TextView
                android:id="@+id/list_item_name"
   android:layout_width="wrap_content"
   android:layout_height="wrap_content"
   android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
   android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
/>

<LinearLayout
    android:id="@+id/list_item_rating"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
    android:orientation="horizontal"
    android:gravity="right"
    >

     <ImageView
         android:layout_width="16dip"
         android:layout_height="15dip"
         android:src="@drawable/foo"
         android:contentDescription="@string/accessibility_foo" />

 </LinearLayout>

    <!-- below name & rating -->
<TextView
                android:id="@+id/list_item_review_message"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="@id/list_item_rating"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
 />
</RelativeLayout>

This blogpost helped me realise that right aligning within a horizontal
linearlayout wouldn't work, not as of now:

I hope the layout I'm using now is a good one and isn't too bloated.
It certainly looks cleaner, a smaller performance footprint would be a
bonus :-)

Thank you for your time though!
