Using AbsoluteLayout on Android?

All pages of my application use the AbsoluteLayout which is deprecated. I was told that the reason i should not use absolutelayout is that it's not flexible in different screen sizes.

You can set screen size when creating AVD (by changing Skin Default HVGA to some other). And you can also change orientation pressing 7 and 9 keys on numeric keyboard.

If all screens on all simulators seem to have the same sizem it's because you are not changing it's resolution at the moment of create them. See Gawcio's response.

No, you are not. You must stop using AbsoluteLayout... there are better ways to build your application.
