8,028 Pointslayout_weight property not allowing me to pass
I've seen several other questions related to this exercise, but none of them seem to have an answer that helps. The instructions say, "using ONLY the layout_weight property, make two new TextViews take up the same amount of space in the LinearLayout."
I've done that, based on what I saw in the video and what works for me in the Studio, but it keeps telling me it's wrong. What am I doing wrong here?
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="@android:color/white" >
<TextView
android:id="@+id/movieTitle"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="32sp"
android:text=""
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true" />
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/movieImage"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_above="@id/movieTitle" />
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="@id/movieTitle"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:id="@+id/linearLayout">
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight=1
android:text=""
android:id="@+id/textView"/>
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight=1
android:text=""
android:id="@+id/textView2"/>
</LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>

Like so:
android:layout_weight="1"
