Summary

XML attributes
android:layout_gravity	Standard gravity constant that a child supplies to its parent.

Inherited XML attributes
From class LayoutParams android:layout_height Specifies the basic height of the view. This is a required attribute for any view inside of a containing layout manager. Its value may be a dimension (such as "12dip") for a constant height or one of the special constants. May be a dimension value, which is a floating point number appended with a unit such as "14.5sp". Available units are: px (pixels), dp (density-independent pixels), sp (scaled pixels based on preferred font size), in (inches), and mm (millimeters). Must be one of the following constant values. Constant Value Description fill_parent ffffffff The view should be as big as its parent (minus padding). This constant is deprecated starting from API Level 8 and is replaced by match_parent. match_parent ffffffff The view should be as big as its parent (minus padding). Introduced in API Level 8. wrap_content fffffffe The view should be only big enough to enclose its content (plus padding). android:layout_width Specifies the basic width of the view. This is a required attribute for any view inside of a containing layout manager. Its value may be a dimension (such as "12dip") for a constant width or one of the special constants. May be a dimension value, which is a floating point number appended with a unit such as "14.5sp". Available units are: px (pixels), dp (density-independent pixels), sp (scaled pixels based on preferred font size), in (inches), and mm (millimeters). Must be one of the following constant values. Constant Value Description fill_parent ffffffff The view should be as big as its parent (minus padding). This constant is deprecated starting from API Level 8 and is replaced by match_parent. match_parent ffffffff The view should be as big as its parent (minus padding). Introduced in API Level 8. wrap_content fffffffe The view should be only big enough to enclose its content (plus padding).
From class MarginLayoutParams android:layout_margin Specifies extra space on the left, top, right and bottom sides of this view. If both layout_margin and any of layout_marginLeft, layout_marginRight, layout_marginStart, layout_marginEnd, layout_marginTop, and layout_marginBottom are also specified, the layout_margin value will take precedence over the edge-specific values. This space is outside this view's bounds. Margin values should be positive. May be a dimension value, which is a floating point number appended with a unit such as "14.5sp". Available units are: px (pixels), dp (density-independent pixels), sp (scaled pixels based on preferred font size), in (inches), and mm (millimeters). android:layout_marginBottom Specifies extra space on the bottom side of this view. This space is outside this view's bounds. Margin values should be positive. May be a dimension value, which is a floating point number appended with a unit such as "14.5sp". Available units are: px (pixels), dp (density-independent pixels), sp (scaled pixels based on preferred font size), in (inches), and mm (millimeters). android:layout_marginEnd Specifies extra space on the end side of this view. This space is outside this view's bounds. Margin values should be positive. May be a dimension value, which is a floating point number appended with a unit such as "14.5sp". Available units are: px (pixels), dp (density-independent pixels), sp (scaled pixels based on preferred font size), in (inches), and mm (millimeters). android:layout_marginHorizontal Specifies extra space on the left and right sides of this view. Specifying layout_marginHorizontal is equivalent to specifying layout_marginLeft and layout_marginRight. If both layout_marginHorizontal and either/both of layout_marginLeft and layout_marginRight are also specified, the layout_marginHorizontal value will take precedence over the edge-specific values. Also, layout_margin will always take precedence over any of these values, including layout_marginHorizontal. This space is outside this view's bounds. Margin values should be positive. May be a dimension value, which is a floating point number appended with a unit such as "14.5sp". Available units are: px (pixels), dp (density-independent pixels), sp (scaled pixels based on preferred font size), in (inches), and mm (millimeters). android:layout_marginLeft Specifies extra space on the left side of this view. This space is outside this view's bounds. Margin values should be positive. May be a dimension value, which is a floating point number appended with a unit such as "14.5sp". Available units are: px (pixels), dp (density-independent pixels), sp (scaled pixels based on preferred font size), in (inches), and mm (millimeters). android:layout_marginRight Specifies extra space on the right side of this view. This space is outside this view's bounds. Margin values should be positive. May be a dimension value, which is a floating point number appended with a unit such as "14.5sp". Available units are: px (pixels), dp (density-independent pixels), sp (scaled pixels based on preferred font size), in (inches), and mm (millimeters). android:layout_marginStart Specifies extra space on the start side of this view. This space is outside this view's bounds. Margin values should be positive. May be a dimension value, which is a floating point number appended with a unit such as "14.5sp". Available units are: px (pixels), dp (density-independent pixels), sp (scaled pixels based on preferred font size), in (inches), and mm (millimeters). android:layout_marginTop Specifies extra space on the top side of this view. This space is outside this view's bounds. Margin values should be positive. May be a dimension value, which is a floating point number appended with a unit such as "14.5sp". Available units are: px (pixels), dp (density-independent pixels), sp (scaled pixels based on preferred font size), in (inches), and mm (millimeters). android:layout_marginVertical Specifies extra space on the top and bottom sides of this view. Specifying layout_marginVertical is equivalent to specifying layout_marginTop and layout_marginBottom with that same value. If both layout_marginVertical and either/both of layout_marginTop and layout_marginBottom are also specified, the layout_marginVertical value will take precedence over the edge-specific values. Also, layout_margin will always take precedence over any of these values, including layout_marginVertical. This space is outside this view's bounds. Margin values should be positive. May be a dimension value, which is a floating point number appended with a unit such as "14.5sp". Available units are: px (pixels), dp (density-independent pixels), sp (scaled pixels based on preferred font size), in (inches), and mm (millimeters).

Constants
static Int	UNSPECIFIED_GRAVITY Value for gravity indicating that a gravity has not been explicitly specified.

Inherited constants

From class LayoutParams Int FILL_PARENT Special value for the height or width requested by a View. FILL_PARENT means that the view wants to be as big as its parent, minus the parent's padding, if any. This value is deprecated starting in API Level 8 and replaced by MATCH_PARENT. Int MATCH_PARENT Special value for the height or width requested by a View. MATCH_PARENT means that the view wants to be as big as its parent, minus the parent's padding, if any. Introduced in API Level 8. Int WRAP_CONTENT Special value for the height or width requested by a View. WRAP_CONTENT means that the view wants to be just large enough to fit its own internal content, taking its own padding into account.

Public constructors

Inherited functions
From class MarginLayoutParams Int getLayoutDirection() Retuns the layout direction. Can be either View.LAYOUT_DIRECTION_LTR or View.LAYOUT_DIRECTION_RTL. Int getMarginEnd() Returns the end margin in pixels. Int getMarginStart() Returns the start margin in pixels. Boolean isMarginRelative() Check if margins are relative. Unit resolveLayoutDirection(layoutDirection: Int) This will be called by android.view.View#requestLayout(). Left and Right margins may be overridden depending on layout direction. Unit setLayoutDirection(layoutDirection: Int) Set the layout direction Unit setMarginEnd(end: Int) Sets the relative end margin. Margin values should be positive. Unit setMarginStart(start: Int) Sets the relative start margin. Margin values should be positive. Unit setMargins(left: Int, top: Int, right: Int, bottom: Int) Sets the margins, in pixels. A call to android.view.View#requestLayout() needs to be done so that the new margins are taken into account. Left and right margins may be overridden by android.view.View#requestLayout() depending on layout direction. Margin values should be positive.
From class LayoutParams Unit setBaseAttributes(a: TypedArray!, widthAttr: Int, heightAttr: Int) Extracts the layout parameters from the supplied attributes.

Properties
Int	gravity The gravity to apply with the View to which these layout parameters are associated.

XML attributes

android:layout_gravity

android:layout_gravity

Standard gravity constant that a child supplies to its parent. Defines how the child view should be positioned, on both the X and Y axes, within its enclosing layout.

Must be one or more (separated by '|') of the following constant values.

Constant	Value	Description
bottom	50	Push object to the bottom of its container, not changing its size.
center	11	Place the object in the center of its container in both the vertical and horizontal axis, not changing its size.
center_horizontal	1	Place object in the horizontal center of its container, not changing its size.
center_vertical	10	Place object in the vertical center of its container, not changing its size.
clip_horizontal	8	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.
clip_vertical	80	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.
end	800005	Push object to the end of its container, not changing its size.
fill	77	Grow the horizontal and vertical size of the object if needed so it completely fills its container.
fill_horizontal	7	Grow the horizontal size of the object if needed so it completely fills its container.
fill_vertical	70	Grow the vertical size of the object if needed so it completely fills its container.
left	3	Push object to the left of its container, not changing its size.
right	5	Push object to the right of its container, not changing its size.
start	800003	Push object to the beginning of its container, not changing its size.
top	30	Push object to the top of its container, not changing its size.
