Add Textview Next To Buttons?

I have a layout with 4 buttons in the center. I simply want to add a textview next to the four buttons (WITHOUT MOVING THE FOUR BUTTONS FROM THE CENTER), like illustrated here (Tex

Solution 1:

Put the textView in one Linearlayout and the four buttons in another LinearLayout and then trying Horizontal weights to align then in a single line might work out.

Code could be as follows

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><LinearLayoutxmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"android:layout_width="match_parent"android:layout_height="match_parent"android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"tools:context="com.example.ruchir.circleswithmap.MainActivity"android:id="@+id/layout"android:gravity="center"android:background="#010101"android:weightSum="100"><LinearLayoutandroid:id="@+id/text_container"android:layout_width="wrap_content"android:layout_height="wrap_content"android:layout_above="@+id/relativeLayout"android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"android:layout_marginBottom="10dp"android:layout_weight = "50"
