LinearLayout means you can align views one by one (vertically/ horizontally). RelativeLayout means based on relation of views from its parents and other views. ConstraintLayout is similar to a RelativeLayout in that it uses relations to position and size widgets, but has additional flexibility and is easier to use in the Layout Editor.

Yes: RelativeLayout.LayoutParams params= new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT); params.addRule(RelativeLayout.BELOW, R.id.below_id); viewToLayout.setLayoutParams(params); First, the code creates a new layout params by specifying the height and width. The addRule method adds the equivalent of the xml properly android:layout_below. Then you just call View#setLayoutParams on the view you want to have those params.
From what I’ve been able to piece together, you have to add the view using LayoutParams. LinearLayout linearLayout = new LinearLayout(this); RelativeLayout.LayoutParams relativeParams = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams( LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT); relativeParams.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_TOP); parentView.addView(linearLayout, relativeParams); All credit to sechastain, to relatively position your items programmatically you have to assign ids to them. TextView tv1 = new TextView(this); tv1.setId(1); TextView … Read more
The easiest way is simply to pay attention to the order in which the Views are added to your XML file. Lower down in the file means higher up in the Z-axis. Edit: This is documented here and here on the Android developer site. (Thanks @flightplanner)
The intention of ConstraintLayout is to optimize and flatten the view hierarchy of your layouts by applying some rules to each view to avoid nesting. The Rules are similar to RelativeLayout, for example setting the bottom edge to the bottom of some other view. app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf=”@+id/view1″ Unlike RelativeLayout, ConstraintLayout offers a bias value that is used … Read more
You can access any LayoutParams from code using View.getLayoutParams. You just have to be very aware of what LayoutParams your accessing. This is normally achieved by checking the containing ViewGroup if it has a LayoutParams inner child then that’s the one you should use. In your case it’s RelativeLayout.LayoutParams. You’ll be using RelativeLayout.LayoutParams#addRule(int verb) and … Read more
You are looking for the android:layout_weight attribute. It will allow you to use percentages to define your layout. In the following example, the left button uses 70% of the space, and the right button 30%. <LinearLayout android:layout_width=”match_parent” android:layout_height=”wrap_content” android:orientation=”horizontal”> <Button android:text=”left” android:layout_width=”0dp” android:layout_height=”wrap_content” android:layout_weight=”.70″ /> <Button android:text=”right” android:layout_width=”0dp” android:layout_height=”wrap_content” android:layout_weight=”.30″ /> </LinearLayout> It works the … Read more
