I haven't tested this, but I believe this would do the trick... You could
also use a RelativeLayout
<LinearLayout
android:id="@+id/some_id"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<EditText
android:id="@+id/some_other_id"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1" />
<Button
android:id="@+id/some_other_other_id"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
</LinearLayout>

Personally I avoid any sort of Layout designer... in my opinion none of
them are very good. I prefer to just learn the XML. To do that I just
look up the documentation for each layout/view I want to use and I just
write the XML directly. It may take a little more time at first, but after
you get used to the different attributes for each xml element, it goes very
quick... I did the above in about a minute.
