Textview width is not the fit the width of the parent

Question

I couldn't make equal width of Textview and linearlayout. Although I set width match_parent in Textview it doesn't fit with the parent width.

I saw these posts : Android textView width not increasing

Android TextView does not expand to match parent

TextView width match drawableTop width

How to adjust text font size to fit textview

But my problem isn't resolved

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:gravity="right|center_vertical"
    android:layout_marginRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:orientation="horizontal">

    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/thumbnail"
        android:layout_width="30dp"
        android:layout_height="30dp"
        android:layout_marginRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
        android:src="@drawable/defaultpicpic" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/title"
        style="@style/textViewItemStyle"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:paddingBottom="10dp"
        android:paddingTop="10dp" />


</LinearLayout>

I resolved my problem by wrapping the views in a LinearLayout and followed by a small View beneath.

It is not clear why this worked.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:background="?android:attr/selectableItemBackground"
    android:gravity="right|center_vertical"
    android:orientation="vertical">

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:gravity="right|center_vertical"
        android:orientation="horizontal">

        <ImageView
            android:id="@+id/thumbnail"
            android:layout_width="40dp"
            android:layout_height="40dp"
            android:layout_marginRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
            android:src="@drawable/thumb" />

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/title"
            style="@style/textViewItemStyle"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:padding="16dp" />

    </LinearLayout>

    <View
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="2px" />

</LinearLayout>

Textview width is not the fit the width of the parent
