It does. Use LinearLayout with android:layout_weight="80". Just make sure that:

-- everything in that layout has their weights sum to 100
-- it works best if everything in that layout (horizontal or vertical)
has their dimension (width or height) set to 0px

Oh, I wouldn't say that. It may be mathematically correct, but UX
isn't all about math.
