My guess is that you would want to use a LinearLayout if the dashboard will be static (you know before hand where everything goes) and prefer a GridView if you have a dynamic dashboard - maybe you will even want it to scroll (like places in Google Maps)
Now I have actually used a ListView in my app's dashboard - is just slightly different as I got a "profile" section that takes the full width: https://ssl.gstatic.com/android/market/com.alportela.tracker.view/ss-0-320-480-160-0-bfe11461b144d969f0242f525bf500f21057cfe8 cant see how I can get that using a gridview. - Alberto On Apr 22, 7:13 pm, Robert <[email protected]> wrote: > Following the dashboard interface from the Google I/O 2010 > conference<http://code.google.com/p/iosched/>, > I see that they use a LinearLayout to make the dashboard.
