Answer 1

I believe the same effect could be achieved by using a LinearLayout with the orientation set to horizontal. The LinearLayout can be embedded in a HorizontalScrollView

The documentation on HorizontalScrollView actually says this:

A HorizontalScrollView is a
FrameLayout, meaning you should place
one child in it containing the entire
contents to scroll; this child may
itself be a layout manager with a
complex hierarchy of objects. A child
that is often used is a LinearLayout
in a horizontal orientation,
presenting a horizontal array of
top-level items that the user can
scroll through.
