Android LinearLayout is a view group that aligns all children in

either vertically or horizontally.

<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >

<Button android:id="@+id/btnStopService"
android:layout_width="270dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="stop_service"/>

</LinearLayout>

Android RelativeLayout enables you to specify how child views are positioned relative to
each other. The position of each view can be specified as relative to sibling elements or

relative to the parent.

<RelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >

<Button android:id="@+id/btnStopService"
android:layout_width="270dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="stop_service"/>

</RelativeLayout>

Android TableLayout going to be arranged groups of views into rows and columns. You will
use the <TableRow> element to build a row in the table. Each row has zero or more cells;
each cell can hold one View object.
<TableLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">

<TableRow
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">

<TextView
android:text="Time"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_column="1" />

<TextClock
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="@+id/textClock"
android:layout_column="2" />

</TableRow>

</TableLayout>

An Absolute Layout lets you specify exact locations (x/y coordinates) of its children.
Absolute layouts are less flexible and harder to maintain than other types of layouts without
absolute positioning.
<AbsoluteLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">

<Button
android:layout_width="100dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="OK"
android:layout_x="50px"
android:layout_y="361px" />

</AbsoluteLayout>

Frame Layout is designed to block out an area on the screen to display a single item.
<FrameLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">

<ImageView
android:src="@drawable/ic_launcher"
android:scaleType="fitCenter"
android:layout_height="250px"
android:layout_width="250px"/>

</FrameLayout>

Android ListView is a view which groups several items and display them in vertical
scrollable list.

<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"

<ListView
android:id="@+id/mobile_list"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
</ListView>

</LinearLayout>

Android GridView shows items in two-dimensional scrolling grid (rows & columns) and the
grid items are not necessarily predetermined but they automatically inserted to the layout
using a ListAdapter

<GridView
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/gridview"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"

/>
