What if the list view's content produces unequal margins in the horizontal and vertical directions? I don't think your requirement, as written, can handle this.
If equal horizontal and vertical margins weren't a requirement, I'd say make a FrameLayout with minimum margins (or padding), then set your list view to wrap_content / wrap_content, and layout_gravity to "center". That should come pretty close. Other than that, you might need to write your own ViewGroup subclass, perhaps starting by subclassing FrameLayout. -- Kostya 2011/6/12 Ted Hopp <ted.h...@gmail.com> > I have a rather involved requirement for a rather simple layout.
