Android: Display 2 text views on the same line, but at each end of the screen

Question

I wish to display the 2 text views at each end of the screen, I tried using layout_gravity but the are still positioned beside each other.

<LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" >

        <TextView
            android:layout_gravity="left"
            android:id="@+id/gameTimer"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="Time" />

        <TextView
            android:layout_gravity="right"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:id="@+id/gameScore" 
            android:text="Score"/>

    </LinearLayout>

Give weight to both textViews

<LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" >

        <TextView
            android:gravity="left"
            android:id="@+id/gameTimer"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
             android:layout_weight="1"
            android:text="Time" />

        <TextView
            android:gravity="right"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:id="@+id/gameScore" 
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:text="Score"/>

    </LinearLayout>

Use a relative layout instead of linear layout. You can try gravity or weights or other options then.
