I can do with a FrameLayout or a RelativeLayout.
The only way to make that work is to use the view xml attributes or

What if I want to animate a view (lets say a button) in an S shape
from the top right of the screen to the bottom left of the screen?
Use a FrameLayout and then have a whole bunch of translate animations
that I have to hand-code?
With a handler and an AbsoluteLayout, I can do this easily wherein

So if I have a fine grained animation that moves along a complex
curve, I will have to have potentially hundreds of translate
animations in my anim file? Just to implement the S movement, along a
HVGA screen, I could see a lot of linear translate animations in the
animation set. How long will

I'd like to know the reasoning behind the deprecation of this layout.
I suppose you could maybe pull the code from 1.1 and keep using it, I

despite being recommended in the docs.

Everything you can do with AbsoluteLayout can be done with FrameLayout
