I am trying to reduce the space between 2 columns, have tried using negative margins, but did not work. Is there a way to bring the 2 elements in the image closer ?

I suggest implementing the entire view using a RelativeLayout, should be the best solution for the entire view.
You are tackling the wrong problem – you are asking how to reduce the space between columns in a grid layout, but maybe you should’t have used such a layout in the first place!
What you should have been using for your specific layout, is a combination of relative positioning and compound drawables (here, with android:drawableStart).
<?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="80dp"
android:background="#d89018"
android:paddingBottom="4dp"
android:paddingLeft="8dp"
android:paddingRight="8dp"
android:paddingTop="4dp"
>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/temperature"
android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:text="25 ℃"
android:textColor="#fff"
android:textSize="49sp"
/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/humidity"
android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
android:drawableStart="#drawable/humidity"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:text="83 %"
android:textColor="#fff"
/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/windSpeed"
android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_alignParentEnd="true"
android:drawableStart="#drawable/wind"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:text="19 km/h"
android:textColor="#fff"
/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/precipitation"
android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
android:drawableStart="#drawable/precipitation"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:text="0.1 mm"
android:textColor="#fff"
/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/windDirection16Point"
android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignLeft="#id/windSpeed"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_alignParentEnd="true"
android:drawableStart="#drawable/windDirection"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:text="NNW"
android:textColor="#fff"
/>
</RelativeLayout>
Not only this layout is simpler, you also let Android take care of all the spacing for you. To change the spacing between the compound drawable and the text, use android:drawablePadding in the layout’s code above; in Java code, that would be TextView.setCompoundDrawablePadding).
Icons used for the sample: water, windsock, rainy-weather and wind-rose.
I think what's happening is that your Views are being stretched because they are trying to match the width of another view in their columns.
Try decreasing the columnSpan of your Views or separate your layout into two separate GridLayouts.
Or, consider using a different layout altogether. I would recommend RelativeLayout here instead of GridLayout, but I don't know how this fits into a larger window.
try this:
<?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="100dp">

I think you should change usedefaultMargins to false and give your own margins to the elements.
android:useDefaultMargins="false";

Here is the situation :
I'm only using LinearLayouts (see code below), and I need the right box to be always stuck to the far right side of the screen. If i use my device in portrait mode, it's fine, but when i turn to landscape or simply go on a larger device, its just ugly.
What can I do? I've tried a 100 things with gravity/layout_gravity/relative layouts and it just does not work.
Note :
This will end as a row in a list.
The problematic linear layout contains two textview which are pretty small (~30dp wide) and on top of each other.
Here is the code for the above screenshot :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

Try this way,hope this will help you to solve your problem.

How to block 1st TextView to not narrows others ?
You can use layout_weight property to tell android how much space each textView takes on the screen. If you want all of them to have the same space you can add the layout_weight of 1 for all of them.
You will also need to readjust your layout_width too. You will have to trade off for the layout_heght. For example if i want 4 textviews in a horizontal line holding equal space "Horizontally" i would do something like this:
<?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:orientation="horizontal" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="This is verrry long text" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView2"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="maybe not" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView3"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="let us see" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView4"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="ok" />
Im trying to make a text view to align to the left border of another imageview in a RelativeLayout, but I'm having trouble and I cannot achieve this. Can anyone tell me how can I achieve this?
Here is my current XML layout:

As #Salauyou mentioned, try with android:layout_alignLeft because it "Makes the left edge of this view match the left edge of the given anchor view ID"
and android:layout_toLeftOf means "Positions the right edge of this view to the left of the given anchor view ID."
Now, this is what I achieved:
I used this picture in drawable-mdpi (as the badge) - note the trick of the dual background:
and the standard launcher icon, since I didn't have a wine glass icon handy.
This is my layout:

android:src="#drawable/ic_menu_moreoverflow_normal_holo_light"
/>
</LinearLayout>
Any help is appreciated.
can you use this, set row layout height
android:layout_height="?android:attr/listPreferredItemHeight"
I set the height of the ImageButton to match_parent.
This fixed the issue oddly. Sigh.
your layout should be in such manner for your requirement i have pasted not same as your's layout but related to it check it

just set the height of the outer layout, instead of using fill_parent
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:awesome="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height=50dp <!-- or anything which fits -->
I'm trying to get the button to the bottom the layout, and it just won't work...
The button is displaying it self on the image that should be above it.
Here is the xml code:
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/ScrollView01"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:fillViewport="true"
android:layout_gravity="center"
>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:gravity="center"
>
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_marginLeft="28dp"
android:layout_marginTop="32dp" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/txtAppName"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignTop="#+id/imageView1"
android:layout_marginLeft="22dp"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/imageView1"
android:text=""
android:textSize="36px"
android:textStyle="bold" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/txtAppAuthor"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignLeft="#+id/txtAppName"
android:layout_below="#+id/txtAppName"
android:layout_marginTop="5px"
android:text=""
android:textSize="24px"
android:textStyle="normal" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/txtAppDesc"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignLeft="#+id/imageView1"
android:layout_below="#+id/imageView1"
android:layout_marginTop="20dp"
android:maxHeight="350px"
android:text=""
android:width="600px"
android:maxLines="10"
android:scrollbars = "vertical"
/>
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageView2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignLeft="#+id/txtAppDesc"
android:layout_below="#+id/txtAppDesc"
android:layout_marginTop="30dp" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageView3"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignTop="#+id/imageView2"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/imageView2" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageView4"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignTop="#+id/imageView3"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/imageView3"
android:visibility="visible" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/btnInstall"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_alignBottom="#+id/imageview4"
android:text="Download & Install" />
</RelativeLayout>
</ScrollView>
And the result is:
Thanx upfront.
You used android:layout_alignBottom="#+id/imageview4"
This means you align the bottom of your button with the bottom of your image.
You have to use android:layout_below="#+id/imageview4"
EDIT: I don't say this is the best solution, because of multiple layouts (for optimisation...) but this should work:

I added a linear layout in which I put the content, and the button.
Hope this will work.
Do you just want the image that the button is over to shrink in order to make room for it? If so, you need to put the Imageview that contains that image as the very last item in your relative layout. It's going to allocate space for everything but the image, and then give the remaining space to the image, which is why it needs to be last.
Also, I suggest giving your imageViews more informative names than "imageView#", since it's kind of difficult to tell which is which.
You might want to wrap you images in a HorizontalScrollView to maintain full height and width of all your images. I changed a lot of the ViewGroups' widths and heights to accommodate the HorizontalScrollView, finally I set the Button below the images:
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/ScrollView01"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"

android:layout_height="wrap_content"

android:layout_marginLeft="28dp"
android:layout_marginTop="32dp" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/txtAppName"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignTop="#+id/imageView1"
android:layout_marginLeft="22dp"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/imageView1"
android:text=""

android:textStyle="bold" />
<TextView

android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignLeft="#+id/txtAppName"
android:layout_below="#+id/txtAppName"

Understand that nesting a HorizontalScrollView inside a ScrollView (or vica versa) does not create a smooth scrolling effect in the x & y directions simultaneously. But you can create this effect as discussed here: Scrollview vertical and horizontal in android.
