Change your EditText and Call button with layout_width to "0dp" -

android:layout_width="0dp"

        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:id="@+id/editText"
        android:inputType="phone"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:background="#d9d9d9"
        android:layout_weight="1"

        />


        

android:layout_width="0dp"

            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:id="@+id/callButton"
            android:src="@drawable/call"
            android:clickable="true"
            android:onClick="softkeyboardButton"
            android:background="#ffa62b"
            android:layout_weight="1"

            />
