Hogwash!

AbsoluteLayout is written in Java. You can find it on Google Code Search.

Ergo, it is possible to create an application that works exactly as
yours does that does not use Android's AbsoluteLayout. Worst-case
scenario, you clone AbsoluteLayout into your own app's namespace.
Best-case scenario, you make your own layout class, leveraging
AbsoluteLayout's implementation, to make something that is
better-performing and/or more maintainable for your own app. Either way,
you are no longer dependent on there being an AbsoluteLayout class in
Android proper.

Somebody -- and "somebody" may wind up being me, someday -- needs to
write up Layout Creation 101, since the stock answer for replacing
AbsoluteLayout seems to be to write a custom layout class...but I am
unaware of any advice or instructions for how to do this. If anyone has
a link to something, post it!
