I've been racking my brain (android newbie here, so not hard to do) for awhile trying to figure out how to accomplish this: Desired Layout using
a RelativeLayout or something other than AbsoluteLayout which is what this was created with. I'm coming from
a Windows programming background where the device adjusts the 'absolute' positioning for you and GUI layout was
a non-issue.
The first layout works great in the emulator, but doesn't format for my Nexus One or any other screen that differs from the emulator size. I expected this because it's absolutely positioned, but haven't found
a solution that will format correctly for
different screen sizes. My goal is to have the layout work for
different screen sizes and in portrait / landscape.
Here's the Code that I'm currently using: [main.xml]
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<AbsoluteLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
>
<Button
android:id="@+id/Button01"
android:layout_width="188px"
android:layout_height="100px"
android:text="
A"
android:layout_y="50px" android:layout_x="65px" android:textSize="48sp"/>
<Button
android:id="@+id/Button02"
android:layout_width="188px"
android:layout_height="100px"
android:text="B"
android:layout_y="175px" android:layout_x="65px" android:textSize="48sp"/>
<Button
android:id="@+id/Button03"
android:layout_width="188px"
android:layout_height="100px"
android:text="C"
android:layout_y="300px" android:layout_x="65px" android:textSize="48sp"/>
</AbsoluteLayout>
Using tidbits from other questions here, I came up with this, it’s closer, but not there yet.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TableLayout
android:gravity="center"
android:id="@+id/widget49"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
>
<Button
android:id="@+id/Button01"
android:layout_width="0dip"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="
A"
android:textSize="48sp"/>
<Button
android:id="@+id/Button02"
android:layout_width="0dip"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="B"
android:textSize="48sp"/>
<Button
android:id="@+id/Button03"
android:layout_width="0dip"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="C"
android:textSize="48sp"/>
</TableLayout>
Here’s

Any help / guidance would be greatly appreciated.
