android - Layout weight isn't distributing equally when there is lot of space left

Question

I'm messing around with Android Studio documents about layout_weight and I'm trying to get use to it. But something weird happens, I assume that if I give some elements value and, The rest will be calculated and distributed equally to which elements have layout_weight specified. Somehow the result make me confuse as There was lots of space left but the TextView decided to get super small and super long.

<LinearLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:background="#000000"
    android:orientation="horizontal"  >

    <ImageView
        android:layout_width="56dp"
        android:layout_height="56dp"
        android:scaleType="centerCrop"
        android:src="@drawable/ocean" />

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Pebble Beach"
        android:background="#FF0"
        android:textAppearance="?android:textAppearanceMedium" />

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:text="California"
        android:background="#FF0"
        android:textAppearance="?android:textAppearanceSmall" />

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:text="10 miles away"
        android:background="#FF0"
        android:textAppearance="?android:textAppearanceSmall" />

</LinearLayout>
