Class Overview

A Layout that arranges its children in a single column or a single row. The direction of the row can be set by calling setOrientation(). You can also specify gravity, which specifies the alignment of all the child elements by calling setGravity() or specify that specific children grow to fill up any remaining space in the layout by setting the weight member of LinearLayout.LayoutParams. The default orientation is horizontal.

See the Linear Layout guide.

XML Attributes

android:baselineAligned

When set to false, prevents the layout from aligning its children's baselines. This attribute is particularly useful when the children use different values for gravity. The default value is true.

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

This may also be a reference to a resource (in the form "@[package:]type:name") or theme attribute (in the form "?[package:][type:]name") containing a value of this type.

This corresponds to the global attribute resource symbol baselineAligned.

Related Methods

setBaselineAligned(boolean)

android:baselineAlignedChildIndex

When a linear layout is part of another layout that is baseline aligned, it can specify which of its children to baseline align to (that is, which child TextView).

Must be an integer value, such as "100".

This may also be a reference to a resource (in the form "@[package:]type:name") or theme attribute (in the form "?[package:][type:]name") containing a value of this type.

This corresponds to the global attribute resource symbol baselineAlignedChildIndex.

May be a reference to another resource, in the form "@[+][package:]type:name" or to a theme attribute in the form "?[package:][type:]name".

May be a color value, in the form of "#rgb", "#argb", "#rrggbb", or "#aarrggbb".

This corresponds to the global attribute resource symbol divider.

`clip_vertical`	0x80	Additional option that can be set to have the top and/or bottom edges of the child clipped to its container's bounds. The clip will be based on the vertical gravity: a top gravity will clip the bottom edge, a bottom gravity will clip the top edge, and neither will clip both edges.
`clip_horizontal`	0x08	Additional option that can be set to have the left and/or right edges of the child clipped to its container's bounds. The clip will be based on the horizontal gravity: a left gravity will clip the right edge, a right gravity will clip the left edge, and neither will clip both edges.
`start`	0x00800003	Push object to the beginning of its container, not changing its size.
`end`	0x00800005	Push object to the end of its container, not changing its size.

Must be a floating point value, such as "1.2".

This may also be a reference to a resource (in the form "@[package:]type:name") or theme attribute (in the form "?[package:][type:]name") containing a value of this type.

This corresponds to the global attribute resource symbol weightSum.

Set how dividers should be shown between items in this layout

Parameters

showDividers	One or more of `SHOW_DIVIDER_BEGINNING`, `SHOW_DIVIDER_MIDDLE`, or `SHOW_DIVIDER_END`, or `SHOW_DIVIDER_NONE` to show no dividers.

public void setVerticalGravity (int verticalGravity)

Added in API level 1

public void setWeightSum (float weightSum)

Added in API level 1

Defines the desired weights sum. If unspecified the weights sum is computed at layout time by adding the layout_weight of each child. This can be used for instance to give a single child 50% of the total available space by giving it a layout_weight of 0.5 and setting the weightSum to 1.0.

Parameters

weightSum	a number greater than 0.0f, or a number lower than or equals to 0.0f if the weight sum should be computed from the children's layout_weight

public boolean shouldDelayChildPressedState ()

Added in API level 14

Return true if the pressed state should be delayed for children or descendants of this ViewGroup. Generally, this should be done for containers that can scroll, such as a List. This prevents the pressed state from appearing when the user is actually trying to scroll the content. The default implementation returns true for compatibility reasons. Subclasses that do not scroll should generally override this method and return false.

Protected Methods

protected boolean checkLayoutParams (ViewGroup.LayoutParams p)

Added in API level 1

protected LinearLayout.LayoutParams generateDefaultLayoutParams ()

Added in API level 1

Returns a set of layout parameters with a width of MATCH_PARENT and a height of WRAP_CONTENT when the layout's orientation is VERTICAL. When the orientation is HORIZONTAL, the width is set to WRAP_CONTENT and the height to WRAP_CONTENT.

Returns

a set of default layout parameters or null

protected LinearLayout.LayoutParams generateLayoutParams (ViewGroup.LayoutParams p)

Added in API level 1

Returns a safe set of layout parameters based on the supplied layout params. When a ViewGroup is passed a View whose layout params do not pass the test of checkLayoutParams(android.view.ViewGroup.LayoutParams), this method is invoked. This method should return a new set of layout params suitable for this ViewGroup, possibly by copying the appropriate attributes from the specified set of layout params.

Parameters

p	The layout parameters to convert into a suitable set of layout parameters for this ViewGroup.

Returns

an instance of ViewGroup.LayoutParams or one of its descendants

protected void onDraw (Canvas canvas)

Added in API level 1

Implement this to do your drawing.

Parameters

canvas	the canvas on which the background will be drawn

protected void onLayout (boolean changed, int l, int t, int r, int b)

Added in API level 1

Called from layout when this view should assign a size and position to each of its children. Derived classes with children should override this method and call layout on each of their children.

Parameters

changed	This is a new size or position for this view
l	Left position, relative to parent
t	Top position, relative to parent
r	Right position, relative to parent
b	Bottom position, relative to parent

protected void onMeasure (int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec)

Added in API level 1

Measure the view and its content to determine the measured width and the measured height. This method is invoked by measure(int, int) and should be overriden by subclasses to provide accurate and efficient measurement of their contents.

CONTRACT: When overriding this method, you must call setMeasuredDimension(int, int) to store the measured width and height of this view. Failure to do so will trigger an IllegalStateException, thrown by measure(int, int). Calling the superclass' onMeasure(int, int) is a valid use.

The base class implementation of measure defaults to the background size, unless a larger size is allowed by the MeasureSpec. Subclasses should override onMeasure(int, int) to provide better measurements of their content.

If this method is overridden, it is the subclass's responsibility to make sure the measured height and width are at least the view's minimum height and width (getSuggestedMinimumHeight() and getSuggestedMinimumWidth()).

Parameters

widthMeasureSpec	horizontal space requirements as imposed by the parent. The requirements are encoded with `View.MeasureSpec`.
heightMeasureSpec	vertical space requirements as imposed by the parent. The requirements are encoded with `View.MeasureSpec`.
