LinearLayoutCompat

public class LinearLayoutCompat
extends ViewGroup

java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.view.View
     ↳ android.view.ViewGroup
       ↳ android.support.v7.widget.LinearLayoutCompat
Known Direct Subclasses


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 LinearLayoutCompat.LayoutParams. The default orientation is horizontal.

See the Linear Layout guide.
