End Goal: Getting a speedometer style needle to move around a dial according to test results.

Current Issue: At the moment I have placed the needle on top of the speed dial as a sperate image using FrameLayout. I have been scouring the web for a way to position the needle with coordinates so I can have it exactly where I want it on the dial. I would post an image but I’m new to the forum and I’m not allowed!

So in short can I position an image over another image with exact coordinates (allowing for rotation etc)? Am I going the right way about solving my problem?

    There is the AbsoluteLayout, which lets you use absolute positions, but it is not recommended that you use it.

    Instead, you should create your own extension of a View, that draws your dial and needle. For more info on this, look at Maurycy’s comment, which recommends this part of the manual.
