a RelativeLayout would solve your problem with a snap, but if you still insist on using LinearLayout (just because we're badass and do things the hard way), you do it like this:

Your parent LinearLayout is fill-parent, left-aligned, and horizontally oriented, and contains your ImageView, and another LinearLayout.

android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:gravity="left"

Second LinearLayout is fill-parent, right-aligned, and horizontally oriented, and contains your ImageButton.

android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:gravity="right"
