the question "What is a usefull alternative to AbsoluteLayout?" seems to be a question which is often asked, but never really answered. My situation is as follows:
I want to position Circles (for the sake of simplicity i used RadioButtons for testing) so that the distances between the circles are proportional on all possible display sizes.
Also i need to know the position of the circles to match onTouchEvent.
This seems fairly easy with AbsoluteLayout since i can get (at runtime) the defaultDisplay's width and height and so i can position Objects in an AbsoluteLayout relative to the display metrics.
Now I want to avoid AbsoluteLayout for obvious reasons, but RelativeLayout doesn't seem to be an alternative since - as far as i know - one can only say "put that object right next to that other object" or below or whatever. How to fix this?
