Hi Mark, Thanks, I really like your post.
I actually started out using LinearLayout but I ran into the same centering problem that you ended your post on. It was my obsession with centering "Upper" and "Lower" horizontally across the entire list item that drove me to RelativeLayout. I've finally achieved the layout I was looking for, but I had to use FrameLayout to do it. See below. I'm thinking that TableLayout may also be suitable but I haven't had time to try it out.
