Update

Below example in created using ConstraintLayout since percent support library is deprecated from API level 26.0.0.

Integration and Example

This sample uses ConstraintLayout to build xml UI. Helps to avoid the overhead of Nested layouts and thereby improving performance.

Really awesome!!!

Steps:

1. Add below into build.gradle

   compile 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.1.0-beta3'

2. Add layout_constraintHeight_percent and layout_constraintWidth_percent to specify the percentage range.

3. Finally add layout_constraintWidth_default="percent" and layout_constraintHeight_default="percent". Thats it !!!.

<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/fifty_thirty"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="0dp"
        android:background="#ffff8800"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:text="@string/fifty_fifty_text"
        android:textColor="@android:color/white"
        app:layout_constraintHeight_default="percent"
        app:layout_constraintHeight_percent="0.5"
        android:textSize="25sp"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintWidth_default="percent"
        app:layout_constraintWidth_percent="0.5" />

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="0dp"
        android:background="#ffff5566"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:text="@string/fifty_fifty_text"
        android:textColor="@android:color/white"
        android:textSize="25sp"
        app:layout_constraintHeight_default="percent"
        app:layout_constraintHeight_percent="0.5"
        app:layout_constraintLeft_toRightOf="@id/fifty_thirty"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@id/fifty_thirty"
        app:layout_constraintWidth_default="percent"
        app:layout_constraintWidth_percent="0.5" />
    
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>

Bingo we are done !!!
