Started to work with Android platform. You know what?! For the 4th day in a row I am sitting with a smile on my face!
after BREW & Symbian this is GREAT!
Problem:
Missing in layout of the views Java SE  java.awt.BorderLayout analogue.
Answer:
Use combination of nested layouts to simulate BorderLayout. Below is a definition of a view ready for use. Simply nest your components
inside LinearLayout tags.
The idea comes from here.

<LinearLayout        xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"        android:orientation="vertical"        android:layout_width="fill_parent"        android:layout_height="fill_parent">        <LinearLayout              android:id="@+id/top_container"              android:orientation="horizontal"              android:layout_weight="0"              android:layout_width="fill_parent"              android:layout_height="wrap_content">                    <!-- Add here the TOP components -->         </LinearLayout>         <!-- Central row -->        <LinearLayout               android:orientation="horizontal"               android:layout_weight="1"               android:layout_width="fill_parent"               android:layout_height="fill_parent">               <LinearLayout                      android:id="@+id/left_container"                       android:orientation="vertical"                      android:layout_weight="0"                      android:layout_width="wrap_content"                      android:layout_height="fill_parent">                      <!-- Add here the LEFT components -->               </LinearLayout>               <LinearLayout                      android:id="@+id/center_container"                      android:orientation="vertical"                      android:layout_weight="1"                       android:layout_width="fill_parent"                      android:layout_height="fill_parent">                      <!-- Add here the CENTER components -->               </LinearLayout>               <LinearLayout                      android:id="@+id/right_container"                      android:orientation="vertical"                      android:layout_weight="0"                      android:layout_width="wrap_content"                      android:layout_height="fill_parent">                      <!-- Add here the RIGHT components -->               </LinearLayout>        </LinearLayout>        <LinearLayout               android:id="@+id/bottom_container"               android:orientation="horizontal"               android:layout_weight="0"               android:layout_width="fill_parent"               android:layout_height="wrap_content">               <!-- Add here the BOTTOM components -->        </LinearLayout> </LinearLayout>
