I have some trouble creating something like this with android.

I add image buttons in a tableLayout but things get messed.
Should i use linearLayout instead? The problem is that they should stretch probably to fit…

    assuming each bill/coin is a separate element you can do this in 3 linear layouts, which are all children of a parent linear layout

    pseudo…

    <linearLayout
   vertical>
     <!-- first row -->
     <linearLayout 
        horizontal
        weightSum = 2>
         <image layout_width="0dp" layout_weight="1">
         <image layout_width="0dp" layout_weight="1">
     </linearLayout>  
     <!-- second row -->
     <linearLayout 
        horizontal
        weightSum = 2>
         <image layout_width="0dp" layout_weight="1">
         <image layout_width="0dp" layout_weight="1">
     </linearLayout>  

     <!-- coins -->
     <linearLayout 
        horizontal
        weightSum = 3>
         <image layout_width="0dp" layout_weight="1">
         <image layout_width="0dp" layout_weight="1">
         <image layout_width="0dp" layout_weight="1">
     </linearLayout>
</linearLayout>

    I’m leaving out all the android specific stuff that you will have to fill in, and just providing the essentials. I believe this will get you what you’re after.

    You’ll need to add some marginLeft and marginRight on the middle coin to push them apart so that they aren’t sitting side by side (or just add that padding in the image itself as transparency).
