You need to add weight in your controls xml file. Here I am giving a sample, which help you to set height and weight in percentage.

   <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
     xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
     android:layout_width="match_parent"
     android:layout_height="match_parent"
     android:orientation="vertical"
   tools:context=".MainActivity" >
   <!--weight=".5" means 50 percantage -->
   <LinearLayout
       android:layout_width="fill_parent"
       android:layout_height="0dp"
       android:layout_weight=".5"
       android:orientation="horizontal" >
       <TextView
           android:layout_width="0dp"
           android:layout_height="wrap_content"
           android:layout_weight=".5"
           android:gravity="center"
           android:text="Sample1" />
        <TextView
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_weight=".5"
            android:gravity="center"
            android:text="Sample2" />
    </LinearLayout>
    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="0dp"
        android:layout_weight=".5"
        android:orientation="horizontal" >
        <Button
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_weight=".5"
            android:gravity="center"
            android:text="Sample1" />
        <Button
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_weight=".5"
            android:gravity="center"
            android:text="Sample2" />
    </LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
