[android-developers] Re: Beginner question on layouts

you should really read the documentation and do the plethora of tutorials Google provides.

Regarding the textview, that's what String Formatting is for (%.2f), look it up.

So I am new to Android development and have a question on layouts. When I create my app in Eclipse I have it set up so that I can see what it would look like on a Nexus S (4 in., 480 x 800). This looks great when I open it on my Exhibit 2 4G (3.7 in., 480 x 800), however it looks terrible when I open it on the Nexus 7. The buttons are in the wrong places and things just don't look the same. I am assuming this has to do with layouts? When I create a Windows application in java I use a layout such as the border layout, grid layout, flow layout, etch... and then add it to the frame. That way no matter how big I resize the window, it always looks the same. How do you do this in Android? Also, kinda off topic, but when displaying numbers in a textbox how do you make it so that it only shows up to the hundredths place? I am starting out creating apps that deal with tips, sale prices, etch, and don't need the final calculated price to be to the 5th decimal place.
 
Thanks in advance!
