Layout information associated with each of the children of a GridLayout.

GridLayout supports both row and column spanning and arbitrary forms of alignment within each cell group. The fundamental parameters associated with each cell group are gathered into their vertical and horizontal components and stored in the `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/gridlayout/widget/GridLayout.LayoutParams#rowSpec()` and `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/gridlayout/widget/GridLayout.LayoutParams#columnSpec()` layout parameters. `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/gridlayout/widget/GridLayout.Spec` are immutable structures and may be shared between the layout parameters of different children.

The row and column specs contain the leading and trailing indices along each axis and together specify the four grid indices that delimit the cells of this cell group.

The alignment properties of the row and column specs together specify both aspects of alignment within the cell group. It is also possible to specify a child's alignment within its cell group by using the `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/gridlayout/widget/GridLayout.LayoutParams#setGravity(int)` method.

The weight property is also included in Spec and specifies the proportion of any excess space that is due to the associated view.

#### WRAP_CONTENT and MATCH_PARENT

Because the default values of the `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroup.LayoutParams.html#width` and `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroup.LayoutParams.html#height` properties are both `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroup.LayoutParams.html#WRAP_CONTENT`, this value never needs to be explicitly declared in the layout parameters of GridLayout's children. In addition, GridLayout does not distinguish the special size value `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroup.LayoutParams.html#MATCH_PARENT` from `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroup.LayoutParams.html#WRAP_CONTENT`. A component's ability to expand to the size of the parent is instead controlled by the principle of *flexibility* , as discussed in `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/gridlayout/widget/GridLayout`.

#### Summary

You should not need to use either of the special size values: `WRAP_CONTENT` or `MATCH_PARENT` when configuring the children of a GridLayout.

#### Default values

- `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroup.LayoutParams.html#width` = `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewGroup.LayoutParams.html#WRAP_CONTENT`

## Public fields

### columnSpec

Added in [1.0.0](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/gridlayout#1.0.0)

```
public GridLayout.Spec columnSpec
```

The spec that defines the horizontal characteristics of the cell group described by these layout parameters. If an assignment is made to this field after a measurement or layout operation has already taken place, a call to `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.html#setLayoutParams(android.view.ViewGroup.LayoutParams)` must be made to notify GridLayout of the change. GridLayout is normally able to detect when code fails to observe this rule, issue a warning and take steps to compensate for the omission. This facility is implemented on a best effort basis and should not be relied upon in production code - so it is best to include the above calls to remove the warnings as soon as it is practical.

### rowSpec

Added in [1.0.0](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/gridlayout#1.0.0)

```
public GridLayout.Spec rowSpec
```

The spec that defines the vertical characteristics of the cell group described by these layout parameters. If an assignment is made to this field after a measurement or layout operation has already taken place, a call to `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.html#setLayoutParams(android.view.ViewGroup.LayoutParams)` must be made to notify GridLayout of the change. GridLayout is normally able to detect when code fails to observe this rule, issue a warning and take steps to compensate for the omission.
