I've been trying to write this using the general approach of making a class MultiLinearLayout that extends LinearLayout (vertical) and is composed of an ArrayList of horizontal LinearLayout's with the addView method overwritten to stick the view in the last horizontal LinearLayout if it fits, or create a new horizontal LinearLayout if not. Unfortunately on creation time when I'm trying to do all the calculations of if a button would fit or not, nothing is measured so I don't have access to all the various widths. Is it possible to get the widths for a new button and a linearlayout right away without waiting for a layout request? Is this the right approach to this?
