Re: [android-developers] Android Layouts Are Horrible
I stick to writing my layouts by hand, as it's something that's not terrible once you spend some time learning how to do it. I felt overwhelmed at first too, but the more of it you do the better you get at it. -- Chris Stewart http://chriswstewart.com On Mon, Apr 4, 2011 at 12:51 PM, TreKing treking...@gmail.com wrote: On Mon, Apr 4, 2011 at 12:01 AM, grndvl1 grnd...@gmail.com wrote: Why is it I spend more time dealing with the layout of items than the actual coding of the program?

Re: [android-developers] Android Layouts Are Horrible
I do that too, and it's a good way to know what's really going on in my layout files. Even then, the graphical editor is very useful for previews. -- Kostya 2011/4/4 Chris Stewart cstewart...@gmail.com I stick to writing my layouts by hand, as it's something that's not terrible once you spend some time learning how to do it.

[android-developers] Android Layouts Are Horrible
Why is it I spend more time dealing with the layout of items than the actual coding of the program? The Eclipse Graphical Layout tool really blows as it has a ton of errors and can't handle simple things like italic text in textview, scrollviews... The layout parameters seem to be a hodge-podge of stuff thrown in there as an after thought, seems it wasn't really planned out. They should have taken a lesson from Java's crappy Gridbag layout and used or at least analyzed how Miglayout fixed many issues with Java GUI's. I won't use any other layout manager other than Miglayout. Anyway just venting here as I spent the last 1hr fixing something that should be so simple in a Scrollview/TableLayout/TableRow with ImageView and TextView in each row. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.
