[flexcoders] Android/mobile question

2013-11-07 Thread Davidson, Jerry
If you build an application for the phone, do you have to use tables to 
position things or can you use CSS or is there a third method?  I ask because 
I'm in a VB.Net class and the teacher said only tables will work and that 
doesn't sound right to me.

TIA

Definitely not right.  You just gotta keep in mind that that there are LOTS
of sizes for android devices so your sizes should be percent based.

CSS will work fine.  I'm not sure what you're talking about with tables,
assuming a flex grid or html table?

With HTML, most everything uses CSS, with Flex, I use percentage based
sizing for most items.
