I'm a little confused by your description, but I think what you're looking for is this:

For each ListView, set android:layout_width="wrap_content" and android:layout_weight="50", and on the parent LinearLayout set android:weightSum="100" and android:layout_width="fill_parent". (The root LinearLayout should also have a width of "fill_parent".) That should cause each child ListView to take up half of the screen horizontally.
