One workaround - you could put your controls into a horizontal LinearLayout (with it's width set to fill_parent) and then set the weights of each control inside the LinearLayout so that they total to 100.
For example, if you had 3 controls inside the LinearLayout you could use 10, 60, 30 for their weights. That should cause the 1st control to use 10%, the second 60% and the third 30% (total 100%). Hope this works for you. -- RichardC On Oct 15, 12:19 pm, westmeadboy <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks for your help. > > I've looked into this a bit more and it seems that, for what I want to > do, its enough just to define another layout in the layout-land > folder. > > Its not perfect, because I'm currently assuming just two possible > screen widths (320 and 480) and so setting the maxWidth accordingly > for those two scenarios.
