How can I make this layout for android?

[SOLVED]I have a very specific layout that I want to make. It feels like it should be very easy to create but I can't seem to wrap my fingers around it. So I want to create a layout that looks like the image below. How the hell do I get this? I just get the text and the 2 images and then get the buttons to be visible. Posted my layout below as well.
Thanks in advance // eXpliCo.

EDIT: I got a solution now. I don't know if it's the best but it works for me. But I can't answer my own code yet so I'll just post my solution here.

In your second LinearLayout, set the orientation to horizontal.

Here you go
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<TextView
android:text="Some Text here"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/SomeText"
android:gravity="center"
android:textSize="20sp" />
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/image_layout"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#+id/SomeText"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/left_layout"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:layout_weight="1" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/right_image"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:layout_weight="1" />
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/button_layout1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#+id/image_layout"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<Button
android:id="#+id/vote_left"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Button 1"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_marginLeft="15dp"
android:layout_marginRight="15dp" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/vote_right"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Button 2"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_marginLeft="15dp"
android:layout_marginRight="15dp" />
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/button_layout2"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#+id/button_layout1"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<Button
android:id="#+id/vote_left"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Button 3"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_marginLeft="15dp"
android:layout_marginRight="15dp" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/vote_right"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Button 4"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_marginLeft="15dp"
android:layout_marginRight="15dp" />
</LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>

It sounds like this works with smaller images but not larger images. If this is the case then use layout_weight in each child LinearLayout so that each takes up a certain amount of space. This will help the layout to look similar on different screen sizes and resolutions.
So, for instance...
<TextView
android:text="Some Text here"
android:layout_weight="1"
...
LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/image_layout"
android:layout_weight="3"
...
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/button_layout1"
android:layout_weight="2"
...
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/button_layout2"
android:layout_weight="2"
...
You may have to adjust the weights to what you want/need but something like that should help. You will also want to set your height for each of those to 0dp since the parent LinearLayout is vertical.

how to fill complete screen with differnt views in android

I have simple question but this is making my development terrible.
in different activities i have different set of views. for example textview, buttonview, editview. what i want is, all views should be fit dynamically on screen (no matter i have one view or 5 views) but its not happening. some time views go out side the screen and some times white space left on screen.
bellow is what i tried, i do not want to provide android:layout_height="75dp".
Please F1
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<LinearLayout

android:layout_height="wrap_content" >

android:layout_height="75dp"
android:background="#drawable/btnmusic"
android:scaleType="fitCenter" />

set layout_weight=1 to all the wiews, which you want to share available space equally.
for your code :
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="odp"
android:layout_weight="1" >
<Spinner
android:id="#+id/spinner1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="75dp"
android:background="#drawable/btnmusic"
android:scaleType="fitCenter" />
</LinearLayout>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="odp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="Medium Text"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" />
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="odp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/btnplay"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="75dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:onClick="onClick"
android:scaleType="fitXY"
android:src="#drawable/btnselectedsong" />
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/btnpause"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="75dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:src="#drawable/btnplay"
android:onClick="onClick"
android:scaleType="fitXY" />
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/btnplay"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="75dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:background="#drawable/btnpause"
android:onClick="onClick"
android:scaleType="centerInside" />
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/btnpause"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="75dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:background="#drawable/btnstop"
android:onClick="onClick"
android:scaleType="fitCenter" />
</LinearLayout>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="odp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="Medium Text"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" />
</LinearLayout>

Have a LinearLayout as Parent
Set its layout_height="fill_parent" and orientation="horizontal"
Add the the views you have, to this parent
Finally to every view set layout_weight="1"
By the last line you mean, no matter how many view you have, they all must be of equal height and by 1st line you mean, all together, the views must occupy the whole screen.

If you use a relative layout you can define features in respect to the edges of the screen and the horizontal and vertical centers allowing for a dynamic placment of the buttons.
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<Spinner
android:id="#+id/spinner1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:background="#drawable/btnmusic"
android:scaleType="fitCenter" />
</RelativeLayout>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#id/spinner1"
android:text="Medium Text"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" />
....
....
....
</RelativeLayout>
Something like that should give you a dynamic layout.

As you are using LinearLayout so you can use layout_weight that will take care of adjusting whole space.
If you want to give specific space apart from equal spacing you can define a android:weightSum="100"
and can distribute it to child layout according to your requirement
I simply tried with some demo and changed your layout.
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:android:weightSum="100" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="10" >
<Spinner
android:id="#+id/spinner1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/btnmusic"
android:scaleType="fitCenter" />
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="10" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Medium Text"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" />
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_weight="40" >
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/btnplay"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"

android:scaleType="fitXY" />
</LinearLayout>

one component takes up each side??
its divided in two but the map fragment takes up all of one side and the first listview takes up all of the other???

Change your orientation of both child LinearLayouts to VERTICAL
For top remove Relative and use LinearLayout with orientation HORIZONTAL
and have weightSum=2
Now in both child linearlayout views give layout_width="0dp" and layout_weight="1"
Example XML for you : http://pastebin.com/2MCBN9qk

Try changing RelativeLayout with LinearLayout, please take a look at this link for a deeper understanding about the different types of layouts.

Try using weightSum
and add your linear layouts inside a Relative layout for better positioning.

How to prevent layout moving?

I have one main layout in my quiz game and in it 3 more nested layout, one below another, vertical. In the top one I have a text view for the question, the middle one with four buttons vertically arranged. Now, when I have one line question everything is fine, but as soon as question goes to two line, my buttons move down one row. How to prevent this? I want everything below my question to be fixed, static, not to move.

A little later, but here we go, there are several solutions for this problem I will point out here two of them that probably are the most user friendly:
Use a scrollview for everything, IMHO this is the most user friendly solution.
Use scrollview just for text and buttons with a defined height, and put the below text and buttons static underneath, make use of a relative layout then.
Marquee text view
the first option I will put out here, with some layout refactoring included, the second one I wont recommend to use, put pretty simple to achieve if you have example one:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

How to fix the position of views in an Android layout?

I have designed a layout with some views (listview, buttons etc..).
When I install my app into an Android phone, the position of views is not the same as I designed.
Some buttons are only partially visible. Can anyone please tell me how to fix the position of views in the layout?
here is the code I used to design.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

Use ScrollView:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/ScrollView1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#color/cherry"
android:orientation="vertical" >
// your components
</RelativeLayout>
</ScrollView>

inside linear layouts in views you used a constant width. It would be better if you use weight-sum for same and provide them width in by weight.

You should read up a few layout practices like Romain Guy's layout tricks, and consider using more efficient containers than the LinearLayout.
You should also position your components relatively to each-other and their parent, this is the way you can achieve a proper layout that looks the same on all screens / resolutions.

Much better if you use RelativeLayout so that you can arrange the views very well.
