I guess you could use two FrameLayouts in a LinearLayout too to be slightly more efficient. Any I wouldn't say 'idiot's guide' - the documentation on gravity, fill_parent/wrap_content etc. is pretty scant. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

RelativeLayouts are easy to use once you are comfortable with them. If you still want to use LinearLayout, this will solve your problem. LinearLayout android:orientation=horizontal android:layout_width=fill_parent android:layout_height=wrap_content LinearLayout android:orientation=horizontal android:layout_width=fill_parent android:layout_height=wrap_content android:layout_gravity=left Button android:id=@+id/auth_login_button android:layout_height=50dip android:layout_width=100dip android:text=@string/auth_login_label android:textColor=#ff android:background=#ff android:textStyle=bold / /LinearLayout LinearLayout android:orientation=horizontal android:layout_width=wrap_content android:layout_height=wrap_content android:layout_gravity=right Button android:id=@+id/auth_signup_button android:layout_height=50dip android:layout_width=100dip android:text=@string/auth_signup_label android:textColor=#ff android:background=#ff android:textStyle=bold / /LinearLayout /LinearLayout But if you use this, the UI Hierarchy will be very complex. As Mark suggested, it is better to use a relative layout. Dexter http://tech-droid.blogspot.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

You can't have two different gravity in the same layout, so you can't do it a linear Layout, without introducing a new level in the hierarchy.
