Example Linearlayout

Linear Layout

LinearLayout is a view group that aligns all in a single direction, vertically or horizontally. You can specify the layout direction with the android:orientation attribute.

All of a LinearLayout are stacked one after the other, so a vertical list will only have one per row, no matter how wide they are, and a horizontal list will only be one row high (the height of the tallest , plus padding).

A LinearLayout respects margins between and the gravity (right, center, or left alignment) of each .

Layout Weight

LinearLayout also supports assigning a weight to individual with the android:layout_weight attribute. This attribute assigns an "importance" value to a view in terms of how much space it should occupy on the screen. A larger weight value allows it to expand to fill any remaining space in the parent view. views can specify a weight value, and then any remaining space in the view group is assigned to in the proportion of their declared weight. Default weight is zero.
