If you're going to use a relativelayout you might want to consider using the less annoying relativelayout attributes, alignParentLeft and alignParentRight, like so:

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:orientation="horizontal"
    android:paddingLeft="5dip"
    android:paddingRight="5dip"
    android:paddingTop="8dip"
    android:paddingBottom="8dip"
>

<TextView  
    android:id="@+id/text"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:alignParentLeft="true"
/>

<CheckBox 
    android:id="@+id/chekcbox"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:alignParentRight="true"
/> 

</RelativeLayout>

Just watch out for elements getting on top of other elements.
