g. Explain how linear and frame layout is used to design an android application with suitable
example. (6 mks)
Ans.
1. LinearLayout
Android LinearLayout is a view group that aligns all children in either vertically or horizontally.
LinearLayout Attributes
Following are the important attributes specific to LinearLayout −
Android LinearLayout is a view group that aligns all children in either vertically or horizontally.
activity_main.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:padding="16dp"
>
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Enter Your Name"
/>
<EditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
/>
<Button
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Click Me"
/>
</LinearLayout>
Sr.No Attribute & Description
android:id
1
This is the ID which uniquely identifies the layout.
android:baselineAligned
2 This must be a boolean value, either "true" or "false" and prevents the layout from aligning its children's
baselines.
android:baselineAlignedChildIndex
3 When a linear layout is part of another layout that is baseline aligned, it can specify which of its children to
baseline align.
android:divider
4 This is drawable to use as a vertical divider between buttons. You use a color value, in the form of "#rgb",
"#argb", "#rrggbb", or "#aarrggbb".
android:gravity
5 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.
android:orientation
6 This specifies the direction of arrangement and you will use "horizontal" for a row, "vertical" for a column.
The default is horizontal.
android:weightSum
7
Sum up of child weight
2. FrameLayout
FrameLayout is a basic layout in Android.
It places all child views on top of each other, like stacking layers.
The last added view appears on top of the others.
It is useful for overlaying elements, like a text over an image.
You can adjust child views using layout_gravity to position them.
FrameLayout-specific attributes:
1. android:foreground
Adds a drawable (image, color, or shape) on top of all child views.
Example: android:foreground="@drawable/border_overlay"
2. android:foregroundGravity
Controls how the foreground drawable is aligned within the FrameLayout.
Possible values: center, top, bottom, left, right, etc.
Example: android:foregroundGravity="center"
3. android:measureAllChildren
If true, measures all child views, even GONE ones.
If false, only visible (VISIBLE or INVISIBLE) views are measured.
Example: android:measureAllChildren="true"
Activity_main.xml
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<ImageView
android:src="@drawable/ic_launcher"
android:scaleType="fitCenter"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_width="match_parent"/>
<TextView
android:text="Frame Demo"
android:textSize="100px"
android:textStyle="bold"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:gravity="center"
/>
</FrameLayout>
