FrameLayout seems like it could be the solution, thanks so much for the tip pskink. Reading up on the documentation, FrameLayout allows several children, all pegged to the topleft corner, with the last child being on top.
So I will try something like this: FrameLayout --LinearLayout ----your control1 ----your control2 ----your controlN --View (the filter) I will report results here tomorrow. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
