Android : image size defining

Question

I want to place my images within a Liner layout / Relative Layout

I want to keep two images in a row . How do i define the width of these images so that , both together fills the parent horizontally.

I can use layout_margin for the required gap between the images. But i am not able to define the width so that it fills the parent.

Do i have to do trial with different dip values

use android:layout_weight , see this post : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3995825/what-is-androidlayout-weight-meaning — Houcine, Oct 20 '11 at 12:57

set LinearLayout's orientation to Horizontal

Put two ImageViews with property

android:layout_width = "fill_parent"
android:layout_height = "wrap_content"
android:layout_weight = "1"

        android:src="@drawable/icon" android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_weight="1" android:scaleType="fitXY"></ImageView>
    <ImageView android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:id="@+id/imageView1"
