Answer 1

For creating a game like this you really don't want to use layouts. You would create a tile engine using bitmap blitting or OpenGL.

Answer 2

You can use the following methods, for rotation of view,

• setRotation
• setRotationX
• setRotationY

Note: All the above are Since: API Level 11

Answer 3

If you dont know much about making a game the read this book

http://www.amazon.com/dp/1430230428/?tag=stackoverfl08-20

It will teach you EVERYTHING you should need to know to do what you want. It also sets up OpenGL ES for you so your app will be nice and smooth

I really would suggest OpenGL, using the Canvas class will not only be slower but it is going to be limited as well
