Arranging Components in App Inventor?

Question

Is there a more precise way of arranging components in App Inventor than using the Vertical/Horizontal/Table Arrangement formatting elements?

I want to sparsely position about six buttons across my app screen - all different sizes.

Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

the short answer is: no
well, additionally you also could use empty labels as delimiter between components...

another answer is: you could use a canvas and sprite components instead of buttons. You can define sprite positions exactly at x/y coordinates of your canvas. However keep in mind, that there are different Android devices with different screens sizes and resolutions, so normally you wouldn't set buttons exactly at x/y coordinates to avoid strange layouts for e.g. smaller or larger devices.
