Actually, there are better answers than two textViews next to each other, because, then how would they scroll together? What you are looking at is the perfect place to implement a list view with a custom List Adapter and custom view that is made up of a

<RelativeLayout>
   <TextView id=@+id/left alignWithParentLeft=true/>
   <TextView id=@+id/right alignWithParentRight=true/>
<RelativeLayout>

Then your custom adapter would just loop through your data and put your 'key' in @+id/left and your 'value' in @+id/right There are plenty of great tutorials on custom list adapters, and this is a great problem to learn for.

Your best bet is to use a layout with two textviews on each line. As far as I know there's no good way to do what you want in a single textview.

absolute layout , that will help to set any where at x and y position
