Where is the place to setSize of subcomponents

Android: Highlighted tab of TabWidget not readable on HTC Sense

In my Android app I use a TabWidget without any special customization. I'd like Android to take care of the specific appearance, which works fine if you compare Android 1.6 with 2.1 for example. By just using a TabWidget the same code leads to different forms of tabs because the SDK defines how to draw it. Here is how it looks on 2.1 for...

Two-pass UI Layout : Why?

I've noticed that Android, WPF, and Silverlight all follow a two-pass layout pattern. There's a recursive Measure() method that gets called to size the element, possibly multiple times. Then a recursive Layout/Arrange() method is called which lays out the exact positions of children in their parent control, and will also set the final si...
