</RelativeLayout>

Answer 1

You are using android:layout_alignParentRight="true" for both your @+id/out and @+id/in TextViews.

Use it only for the one that would appear on the right, which in your case is timeOut. Timein TextView should use android:layout_toLeftOf of timeout TextView.

If you want to use a line between them, you can either use another TextView with "|" between them, or you can draw a View there.

Please try this xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
                android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:orientation="vertical"
                android:padding="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin">

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textView2"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
        android:layout_below="@+id/textView3"
        android:text="Description   :  "/>

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textView3"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignLeft="@+id/textView2"
        android:layout_below="@+id/Project"
        android:text="Progress       :  "/>


    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/Project"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"

        android:text="Project  "
        android:textColor="@color/colorBlack"
        android:textStyle="bold"/>

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/Description"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignBaseline="@+id/textView2"
        android:layout_alignBottom="@+id/textView2"
        android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/textView2"
        android:text="TextView"/>

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/Percentage"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignBaseline="@+id/textView3"
        android:layout_alignBottom="@+id/textView3"
        android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/textView3"
        android:text="TextView"/>

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/in"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_toLeftOf="@+id/out"
        android:text="TimeIn | "/>

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/out"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
