The Home screen is made of two layers: - The background (or Workspace) that shows the image; this layer scrolls and draws the wallpaper with a different scroll value. Workspace behaves more or less like a simplified horizontal layout - The screens (or CellLayouts) that display the icons; this layer is made of 3 CellLayout side by side. CellLayout is a custom grid-like layout.
We definitely did not use an AbsoluteLayout and nor should you. The fling is implemented using a VelocityTracker, a Scroller and regular View.scroll methods.
