With android, your design space is quit limited. So for something like that i would suggest nesting some layouts. You'd set one for the background and others for what ever function you wanna do. I also suggest planning what you wanna display and what layout is best optimized for the function.Eg:
- Use a relative layout to set the landscape background
- Use the Liner layout for the ruler functions on the sides
- Use grid layouts for maps maybe
- Use Split action tabs for the options at the bottom
- Use menus for calibration settings
- Use Relative layouts for all the funny gauges moving about and textboxes and stuff.
Then from there it's a matter of making everything work. Here are some links on layouts: Link 1 Link 2
