LinearLayout

Overview

LinearLayout is a commonly used layout in development. It arranges controls horizontally or vertically. The linear layout manager allows each child view to specify a weight attribute to control how much space each child occupies. The orientation attribute controls the arrangement direction.

• android:orientation="vertical" — vertical linear arrangement
• android:orientation="horizontal" — horizontal linear arrangement

                android:layout_height="match_parent"
