[android-developers] Re: Android Dashboard - GirdView or LinearLayout

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:

cant see how I can get that using a gridview.
