Railsoft, depending on what your exact specifications are, you can use the View.GONE, View.INVISIBLE, or View.VISIBLE with View.setVisibility(int) to achieve some dynamic-type layout stuff.
Also, there are some good tutorials on other methods to do some dynamic-type stuff that I found on the Dev Resources page: http://developer.android.com/resources/articles/layout-tricks-stubs.html http://developer.android.com/resources/articles/layout-tricks-reuse.html http://developer.android.com/resources/articles/layout-tricks-efficiency.html http://developer.android.com/resources/articles/layout-tricks-merge.html Hope that helps some, Justin ---------------------------------------------------------------------- There are only 10 types of people in the world...
