 <p>Have a couple <code>LinearLayout</code>s in your row layout. Set their <code>orientation</code> to <code>vertical</code> and their <code>layout_width</code> to <code>fill_parent</code>. Also set their <code>layout_weight</code> to 1. These will act as columns and when you put stuff inside and for example center it it will always be in the same place.</p>
