Any was to position buttons easier

Question

I am trying to put buttons on my xml page which I can do, but not where I want them. When I put buttons on and then try and change the margins it gets the button their but then when I try to make them bigger or smaller it moves them again. I am wandering if there is a way where I can just drag and drop the button where i want it. I'm sorry if I didn't explain it very well. I could not really think of how to explain it well.

Thanks, Scott

Answer 1

Using a relative layout is the preferred method when creating just about any application. Position is "relative" so you never have to define actual measurements. Try playing around with that first.

You can use droiddraw to drag button or other widget to draw UI
