title: Is it possible to get a linearlayout to fill 50% of the parent screen?
body: <pre><code>   &lt;LinearLayout
      android:orientation="vertical"
      android:layout_margin="10dp"
      android:paddingTop="35dp"
      android:layout_width="200dp"
      android:layout_gravity="center" android:layout_height="fill_parent"&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I want to make it fill 50% of the android screen instead of the 200dp</p>
