title: java.lang.StackOverFlow error. Suspected too many views?
body: <p>When you get an error like the one below (Android 1.5), is it because there are too many nested ViewGroups, or because the total number of Views is too great?  Are there any tricks to get around it while still keeping the same look to your app?</p>
