Try it.

You can use LinearLayout android:orientation="horizontal"all child views android:layout_width="0dp"andandroid:layout_weight="1"

<LinearLayout
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:orientation="horizontal"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent" >

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/like_count"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:text="10"
        android:textColor="@android:color/white"
        android:textSize="14sp" />

    <ImageButton
        android:id="@+id/like_button"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:background="@android:color/transparent"
        android:src="@drawable/xml_like_button_selctor" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/comment_count"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
        android:text="10"
        android:textColor="@android:color/white"
        android:textSize="14sp" />

    <ImageButton
        android:id="@+id/comment_icon"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:background="@android:color/transparent"
        android:src="@drawable/xml_comment_button_selector" />

</LinearLayout>

Please use the following relative layout

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:background="#EAEAEA" >

    <TextView 
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="text1"
        android:id="@+id/text1"
        />

    <ImageButton 
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:id="@+id/imgButton1"
        android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/text1"/>

    <TextView 
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="text2"
        android:id="@+id/text2"
        android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/imgButton1"
        />

    <ImageButton 
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/text2"
        android:id="@+id/imgButton2"/>


</RelativeLayout>

Why aren't you using LinerLayout for this.

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/sliding_pane_layout"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="horizontal" >

        <TextView
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="Text1" />

        <ImageButton
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
    </LinearLayout>

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="horizontal" >

        <TextView
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="Text1" />

        <ImageButton
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
    </LinearLayout>

</LinearLayout>
