I would recommend using the RelativeLayout instead of the linear layout. You could place them like this: - first label aligned top parent (Band) - second label below first label (Members) - second edit text (Members list) right of second label, aligned top with second label and aligned parent right - first edit text (Band name) right of first label, aligned top with first label, aligned left with second edit text and aligned parent right - Ok button below second label, aligned parent left - Cancel button below second lable, right of Ok button
I placed the Band edit box relative to the Members edit box because it's label will always have more pixels so if we want to obtain a nice effect where the edit boxes have the same sizes and fill the usable space. As you can see there are no hard coded dimensions or anything. On Mon, Sep 7, 2009 at 2:12 AM, Mark Murphy <[email protected]> wrote: > > Carl wrote: > > Thanks, I'm such an idiot!
