`How to use weightSum in RelativeLayout` Simply **you can't**. But you could use a `PercentRelativeLayout`, instead. — Phantômaxx, Mar 06 '17 at 12:56

Remove RelativeLayout of id fireId and cartId and create LinearLayout with alignParentBottom attribute and put your 2 ImageView's in it. with each ImageView has weight 1. – Asif Patel Mar 06 '17 at 13:19
