Android: Layout alignment

Question

I have 3 'groups' of items in my layout:

Button + TextView (should be on the right side)
ImageView + ImageView + TextView (should be in center)
TextView + Button (should be on the left side)

It's like a footer for tablet. But all my items are next to each other starting from left side. I tried grouping them to separate layouts but it doesn't help.

Here is my code:

    <LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/footer"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="40dp"
        android:orientation="horizontal"
        android:layout_gravity="bottom"
        android:background="@android:color/black">

            <Button
                android:background="@drawable/arrow_left"
                android:layout_width="50dp"
                android:layout_height="match_parent"
                android:id="@+id/footer_left_arrow"
                android:layout_margin="10dp"/>

            <TextView
                android:text="text"
                android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
                android:textSize="20sp"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="match_parent"
                android:id="@+id/footer_left_text"/>

            <ImageView
                android:background="@drawable/logo"
                android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
                android:layout_marginBottom="5dp"
                android:layout_width="50dp"
                android:layout_height="20dp"
                android:layout_gravity="center"/>

            <ImageView
                    android:background="@drawable/footer_vertical_line"
                android:layout_margin="5dp"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="match_parent" />

            <TextView
                android:text="text"
                android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
                android:textSize="12sp"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="match_parent"
                android:gravity="center" />

            <TextView
                android:text="text"
                android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
                android:textSize="20sp"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="match_parent" />

            <Button
                android:background="@drawable/arrow_right"
                android:layout_width="50dp"
                android:layout_height="match_parent"
                android:layout_margin="10dp" />

Use this.

I took this and used something similar (for my example), helps a lot — Ilija Vrbatović, Feb 07 '17 at 16:27
