I don't think I have really ever nested more than about three levels worth of Layouts (RelativeLayout, LinearLayout, FrameLayout) in Android. I am not thinking about list items which also use a custom layout for ListView but just normal layouts for an activity.
To the point though, I was chatting with another developer about nesting layouts for a certain layout we were discussing and he seemed to think that even a few nested layouts really slowed down performance. I figured there is some truth but it cant be that much.
Does anyone have a more expert approach to this? Any input? Opinion?
Thanks.
