How to Declare LinearLayout in an XML file?
First of all, we should declare the LinearLayout in the layout file using the below code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http:// schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
// Add another child elements here like
// EditText, button etc
</LinearLayout>
Android LinearLayout in Kotlin
Android LinearLayout is a ViewGroup subclass, used to provide child View elements one by one either in a particular direction either horizontally or vertically based on the orientation property. We can specify the linear layout orientation using the android:orientation attribute.
All the child elements arranged one by one in multiple rows and multiple columns.
- Horizontal list: One row, multiple columns.
- Vertical list: One column, multiple rows.
Can illustrate the Horizontal and Vertical List with an Image.
