UI COMPONENTS AND
LAYOUTS
Relative Layout
 RelativeLayout is a view group that
displays child views in relative positions.
 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 Attributes
 Following are the important attributes specific to

RelativeLayout −
1. android:id
 This is the ID which uniquely identifies the layout.

2. android:gravity
 This specifies how an object should position its

content, on both the X and Y axes. Possible values


are top, bottom, left, right, center, center_vertical,
center_horizontal etc.
3. android:ignoreGravity
 This indicates what view should not be affected by

gravity.
 Using RelativeLayout, you can align two elements by
right border, or make one below another, centered in
the screen, centered left, and so on.
 By default, all child views are drawn at the top-left of

the layout, so you must define the position of each


view using the various layout properties available from
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams and few of the important
attributes are given below −
1. android:layout_above
 Positions the bottom edge of this view above the given

anchor view ID and must be a reference to another


resource, in the form "@[+][package:]type:name"
2. android:layout_alignBottom
 Makes the bottom edge of this view match the

bottom edge of the given anchor view ID and


must be a reference to another resource, in
the form "@[+][package:]type:name".
3. android:layout_alignLeft
 Makes the left edge of this view match the left

edge of the given anchor view ID and must be


a reference to another resource, in the form
"@[+][package:]type:name".
4. android:layout_alignParentBottom
 If true, makes the bottom edge of this view match

the bottom edge of the parent. Must be a boolean


value, either "true" or "false".
5. android:layout_alignParentEnd
 If true, makes the end edge of this view match the

end edge of the parent. Must be a boolean value,


either "true" or "false"
6. android:layout_alignParentLeft
 If true, makes the left edge of this view match the

left edge of the parent. Must be a boolean value,


either "true" or "false".
7. android:layout_alignParentRight
 If true, makes the right edge of this view match the

right edge of the parent. Must be a boolean value,


either "true" or "false".
8. android:layout_alignParentStart
 If true, makes the start edge of this view match the

start edge of the parent. Must be a boolean value,


either "true" or "false".
9. android:layout_alignParentTop
 If true, makes the top edge of this view match the

top edge of the parent. Must be a boolean value,


either "true" or "false".
10. android:layout_alignRight
 Makes the right edge of this view match the right edge

of the given anchor view ID and must be a reference


to another resource, in the form "@[+]
[package:]type:name".
11. android:layout_alignStart
 Makes the start edge of this view match the start edge

of the given anchor view ID and must be a reference


to another resource, in the form "@[+]
[package:]type:name".
12.android:layout_alignTop
 Makes the top edge of this view match the top edge of

the given anchor view ID and must be a reference to


another resource, in the form "@[+]
13. android:layout_below
 Positions the top edge of this view below the given

anchor view ID and must be a reference to another


resource, in the form "@[+][package:]type:name".
14. android:layout_centerHorizontal
 If true, centers this child horizontally within its

parent. Must be a boolean value, either "true" or


"false".
15. android:layout_centerInParent
 If true, centers this child horizontally and vertically

within its parent. Must be a boolean value, either


"true" or "false".
16. android:layout_centerVertical
 If true, centers this child vertically within its parent.

Must be a boolean value, either "true" or "false".


17.android:layout_toEndOf
 Positions the start edge of this view to the end of the

given anchor view ID and must be a reference to


another resource, in the form "@[+]
[package:]type:name".
18.android:layout_toLeftOf
 Positions the right edge of this view to the left of the

given anchor view ID and must be a reference to


another resource, in the form "@[+]
[package:]type:name".
19. android:layout_toRightOf
