title: view over layout and equal height columns
body: <p>I've tried a couple of things and read many topics, but I didn't find any solution for my problem.</p>
  
  <p>At the moment I have an xml file with the layout on the picture. This is how it should look like the design and I did it with LinearLayouts and works perfect. </p>
  
  <p>The problem is that I want when I click somewhere on the screen to add a highlighted column from top to bottom. 
  I read that this should be done with RelativeLayout, but I tried to do it that way, but I can't arrange my other elements to be with equal size.</p>
  
  <p>Do you know how this could be done ?</p>
  
  <p>This is part of my xml:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;LinearLayout
      android:id="@+id/chart1Layout"
      android:layout_width="fill_parent"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
      android:layout_marginBottom="3dp"
      android:layout_weight="1"
      android:orientation="horizontal" &gt;
  
      &lt;TextView
          android:id="@+id/textView1"
          android:layout_width="0dp"
          android:layout_height="fill_parent"
          android:layout_gravity="left"
          android:layout_marginRight="4dp"
          android:layout_weight="1"
          android:background="@color/color"
          android:gravity="bottom|center"
          android:maxLines="4"
          android:padding="3dp"
          android:text="@string/cap"
          android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
          android:textColor="@color/orange"
          android:textSize="30sp"
          android:textStyle="bold" /&gt;
  
      &lt;com.some.chart
          android:id="@+id/result_widget_chartView1"
          android:layout_width="0dp"
          android:layout_height="wrap_content"
          android:layout_gravity="right"
          android:layout_weight="8"
          palette="grayscale"
          android:background="@color/dark_header"
          android:padding="0dp"
          android:paddingBottom="0dp"
          android:paddingLeft="10dp" /&gt;
  
  &lt;/LinearLayout&gt;
  </code></pre>
