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.

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).

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.

Inherited properties

From class LayoutParams

Int

Information about how tall the view wants to be. Can be one of the constants FILL_PARENT (replaced by MATCH_PARENT in API Level 8) or WRAP_CONTENT, or an exact size.

LayoutAnimationController.AnimationParameters!

layoutAnimationParameters

XML attributes

android:layout_margin

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.

android:layout_marginBottom

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.

android:layout_marginEnd

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.

android:layout_marginHorizontal

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.

android:layout_marginLeft

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.

android:layout_marginRight

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.

android:layout_marginStart

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.

android:layout_marginTop

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.

android:layout_marginVertical

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.
