Use normal constructors (e.g., new TextView(this);) and add them manually to their containers (layout.add(textview, params);). Bear in mind that if you do this, you will have much work in front of you to handle: -- screen rotations (portrait versus landscape) -- multiple screen dimensions (QVGA, HVGA, WVGA) -- multiple screen sizes (3", 3.5", 5") The layout framework was designed to make it easier to swap in and out different layouts for those different device characteristics. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com Android App Developer Books: http://commonsware.com/books.html --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
