    android:orientation="vertical">
    <LinearLayout
        android:orientation="horizontal"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent">
        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/test1"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:textStyle="bold"
            android:text="VERY LONG STRING HERE"
            android:textSize="@dimen/text_size_form"/>
        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/test2"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="123"
            android:textSize="@dimen/text_size_form"/>
    </LinearLayout>
    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/abc"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:textSize="@dimen/text_size_form"/>
    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/abc1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:textSize="@dimen/text_size_form"/>
</LinearLayout>

Why dont you use relative layout with test2 textview align to test1 textview with android:layout_toRightOf. — Chitrang

You would need to make them expand to touch.

Use layout_weight on both.

<LinearLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_margin="@dimen/standard_margin"
    android:orientation="vertical">
    <LinearLayout
        android:orientation="horizontal"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent">
        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/test1"
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_weight="0.5"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:textStyle="bold"
            android:text="VERY LONG STRING HERE"
            android:textSize="@dimen/text_size_form"/>
        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/test2"
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_weight="0.5"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="123"
            android:textSize="@dimen/text_size_form"/>
    </LinearLayout>
    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/abc"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:textSize="@dimen/text_size_form"/>
    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/abc1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:textSize="@dimen/text_size_form"/>
</LinearLayout>

layout_width of 0dp with layout_weight of 0.5 (out of 1) means "i do not provide a width, expand it until it reaches 50%.
