You haven't indicated: -- what layout container you are using (LinearLayout? RelativeLayout? TableLayout?) -- whether you are using Button or ImageButton -- what you are putting in the Button as a label (or in ImageButton as an image) -- what font you are using for the Button (if applicable) Without those details, it is difficult to tell where the problem might lie. Also, are you sure you want to do what you are doing? -- Phone screen sizes will vary, so I can easily imagine Android devices where your buttons are only ~4mm wide, which might well irritate your users -- Phones with touchscreens might make a row of 10 buttons difficult to use, as users' fingers might be too big to reliably choose specific buttons -- Could you use ScrollView to still have a row of 10 buttons, but only have a few visible at one time? This might work nicely with the "flinging" approach demonstrated at Google I/O this week (lots of video of their Android demo floating around the Internet) -- Do they have to be buttons? Other widgets, like spinners, are nicely suited for giving a variety of choices in a small area. Or maybe you could draw something yourself using the drawing primitives (android.graphics). -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development -- coming in June 2008! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
