Check out the layout_weight parameter. I think you'll get what you want by specifying the following:
for the Button, add android:layout_weight="0" for the TextView, add android:layout_weight="1" Also, you don't really need TableLayouts with single TableRows. You could get the same effect with a LinearLayout with horizontal orientation or a RelativeLayout. TableLayouts are really most useful when your presentation requires equal width columns, which you don't have here.
