Android layout xml: center layout, element width portion, numbers only input for EditText

The layout xml file below is a RelativeLayout containing a LinearLayout which contains a EditText, a Button, and a TextView.

    The LinearLayout is centered in the screen by android:layout_centerInParent=”true”, and this only works if it is inside the RelativeLayout.
    EditText only accepts positive numbers and negative numbers by android:inputType=”numberDecimal|numberSigned”.
    EditText, Button and TextView are lined up on the same line because they are in the LinearLayout, and the LinearLayout says android:orientation=”horizontal”.
    The EditText will occupy 6/10 of the total width of the LinearLayout because its layout_weight is set to 6 and the layout_width is set to 0dp.
    The Button will occupy 3/10 of the total width of the LinearLayout because its layout_weight is set to 3 and the layout_width is set to 0dp.
    The TextView, will occupy 1/10 of the total width of the LinearLayout because its layout_weight is set to 1 and the layout_width is set to 0dp.
