You should be able to place 3 (or more) layouts into a LinearLayout, indicating which one(s) you want stretched and how by laying with layout_weight and layout_width values.
I've seen RelativeLayout not compute the actual height for wrap_content when its children are added bottom-to-top (using layout_above), but work correctly when its children are added top-to-bottom (using layout_below). Maybe there is a similar issue with width, and leftOf/rightOf positioning. Hence, my suggestion. -- Kostya 2011/1/23 Rutton <[email protected]> > > > On 23 Jan., 14:09, Kostya Vasilyev <[email protected]> wrote: > > Seems like your intent is a side-by-side layout for a tablet device. > > I was working on a landscape layout and thought I could "anchor" a > fixed size > RelativeLayout and use a stretched/spanning second RelativeLayout.
