I have a relative layout which contains two linear layouts. I want these two linear layouts to be placed in either halves of the relative layout containing them i.e. one to be positioned at top half and other at bottom half. Can anyone here help me with this. Here is the xml:

 <RelativeLayout
    android:id="@+id/updatedetails"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
    android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
    android:layout_marginBottom="10dp"
    android:orientation="vertical" 
    android:background="@drawable/oneeventbkg" >


    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:id="@+id/Top_half_layout">

        <ImageView
            android:id="@+id/update_sn_icon"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
            android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
            android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
            android:layout_marginTop="2dp" />

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/update_time"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"

Try this..

<LinearLayout
    android:id="@+id/updatedetails"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
    android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
    android:layout_marginBottom="10dp"
    android:orientation="vertical" 
    android:background="@drawable/oneeventbkg" >


    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="0dp"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:id="@+id/Top_half_layout">

        // Your Codes

    </LinearLayout> 

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="0dp"            
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:id="@+id/bottom_half_layout">

         // Your Codes

    </LinearLayout> 

</LinearLayout>

EDIT

<LinearLayout
    android:id="@+id/updatedetails"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
    android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
    android:layout_marginBottom="10dp"
    android:orientation="vertical" 
    android:background="@drawable/oneeventbkg" >


    <RelativeLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="0dp"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:id="@+id/Top_half_layout">

        // Your Codes

    </RelativeLayout> 

    <RelativeLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="0dp"            
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:id="@+id/bottom_half_layout">

         // Your Codes

    </RelativeLayout>
