    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:weightSum="1" >

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textView1"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_weight="0.5"
        android:textSize="24sp"
        android:textColor="#00FF00" /> <!-- Common mistake I see is when people add space after : -->
