title: Android: Alternative to AbsoluteLayout (I really do need absolute positioning)
body: <p>I am trying to write a calendar app and I plan to have a grid (week view) which will probably be a <code>TableLayout</code> and directly on top of that I will have to absolutely position events on the grid.</p>
  
  <p>But <code>AbsoluteLayout</code> is deprecated. What should I use instead?</p>
  
  <p>Events may overlap and I think it would be really silly to try and use a non absolute layout to achieve what I want.</p>
  
  <p>Maybe I should use <code>RelativeLayout</code> with a margin left and margin top on each of the child nodes. Seems odd to do it that way and might not be as efficient. Is this the best way or is there an alternative?</p>
