如何允许半个SupportMapFragment和半线性布局？

Question

I have added a Google maps fragment to an an xml layout but it takes up the full screen.Does anyone know if its possible to allow for the layout dimensions of the fragment to take u half of the screen and the other half a linear or even relative layout? I came up with this mock up to illustrate my meaning.My layout code is also posted below.Can someone offer me some pointers on this issue?

<fragment xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
 android:id="@+id/map"
 android:layout_width="match_parent"
 android:layout_height="match_parent"
 class="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"/>

You can use LinearLayout with weights.

  <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="0dp"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:orientation="vertical" >

        <fragment
            android:id="@+id/map"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            class="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment" />
    </LinearLayout>

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="0dp"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:orientation="vertical" >
    </LinearLayout>

</LinearLayout>
