LINEAR XML LAYOUT BY CODE

LINEAR XML LAYOUT BY CODE

In Android Studio, you can design a LINEAR XML LAYOUT BY CODE using XML code. Here’s an example of how to create a simple LinearLayout that contains two TextView elements:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:llayout_height="match_parent"
tools:lcontext=".MainActivity">

<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Hello, World!"/>
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="This is a LinearLayout example." />
</LinearLayout>

This code creates a LinearLayout that has a width of “match_parent” and a height of “wrap_content”, which means it will take up the full width of the parent container and adjust its height to fit its contents. The “orientation” attribute is set to “vertical”, which means the child elements will be arranged in a vertical column.
Inside the LinearLayout, we have two TextView elements. Each TextView has a width of “wrap_content” and a height of “wrap_content”, which means it will adjust its size to fit its contents. The “text” attribute is used to set the text displayed in each TextView.
You can also set other attributes to adjust the layout behavior. For example, you can set the layout_weight attribute to distribute the remaining space in the layout among its children. Additionally, you can also set layout_margin, layout_padding and layout_gravity attributes to adjust the position and spacing of the elements in the LinearLayout.
It’s important to note that you can add other layout or elements inside the LinearLayout to create a nested layout.
In summary, LinearLayout is a powerful layout that allows you to arrange elements in a single row or column, and by using different attributes you can control the behavior and the spacing of the elements.
