AFAIK, you have your choice of: -- Change to another layout -- Copy the AbsoluteLayout code (and its dependencies) from the source tree into your project and maintain your own local copy -- Start an independent open source project to keep AbsoluteLayout alive (same as previous option, just perhaps with other people helping you) All of these involve some amount of work. > Absolute layout was really helpful in positioning the elements to be > accurate.

You are assuming you will know all of the possible screen sizes. If Android is a success, you will have no way of knowing, when you write your software, what screen size will be used, since there will be too many to keep track of. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android App Developer Books: http://commonsware.com/books.html --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
