android:layout_weight is your friend here.This is a simple example with two views each occupying half the screen:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"; android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" > <com.yunnanexplorer.android.gps.sats.SatelliteSkyView android:id="@+id/skyview" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="0px" android:layout_weight="2" /> <com.yunnanexplorer.android.gps.sats.SatelliteSignalView android:id="@+id/signalview" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="0px" android:layout_weight="1" /> </LinearLayout> The weights add up and the screen is then divided according to the relative weight a view claims.
