divide the width of elements in relative layout?

Let's say I have a button and an EditText, aligned at the same height(the bottom of the screen) and sharing the width of the screen. I want the button to take just the space it needs, and the editText to cover the rest of the width.

Up until now I've been using a linearLayout, where in this case I could put those two elements inside an horizontal linear layout, set the weight of the editText to 1 and the with of the button to wrap_content, and it would work.

However, I am not able to replicate this behaviour using a relative layout. I can put the editText at the bottom of the parent, and then set the button to its right, but I don't know how to make the editText fill the rest of the width respecting the button's space.

What's the correct way to do it?
