LayoutParams

open class LayoutParams : ViewGroup.MarginLayoutParams
kotlin.Any
   ↳ android.view.ViewGroup.LayoutParams
   ↳ android.view.ViewGroup.MarginLayoutParams
   ↳ android.widget.GridLayout.LayoutParams

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 rowSpec and columnSpec layout parameters. Specs 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 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 width and height properties are both 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 MATCH_PARENT from 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 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

See GridLayout for a more complete description of the conventions used by GridLayout in the interpretation of the properties of this class.

Inherited properties

XML attributes

android:layout_column

android:layout_column
The column boundary delimiting the left of the group of cells occupied by this view.

May be an integer value, such as "100".

android:layout_columnSpan

android:layout_columnSpan
The column span: the difference between the right and left boundaries delimiting the group of cells occupied by this view. The default is one. See android.widget.GridLayout.Spec.

May be an integer value, such as "100".

android:layout_columnWeight

android:layout_columnWeight
The relative proportion of horizontal space that should be allocated to this view during excess space distribution.

May be a floating point value, such as "1.2".

android:layout_gravity

android:layout_gravity
Gravity specifies how a component should be placed in its group of cells. The default is LEFT | BASELINE. See android.widget.GridLayout.LayoutParams#setGravity(int).

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.

android:layout_row

android:layout_row
The row boundary delimiting the top of the group of cells occupied by this view.

May be an integer value, such as "100".

android:layout_rowSpan

android:layout_rowSpan
The row span: the difference between the top and bottom boundaries delimiting the group of cells occupied by this view. The default is one. See android.widget.GridLayout.Spec.

May be an integer value, such as "100".

android:layout_rowWeight

android:layout_rowWeight
The relative proportion of vertical space that should be allocated to this view during excess space distribution.

May be a floating point value, such as "1.2".

Public methods

equals

Added in API level 14
open fun equals(other: Any?): Boolean

Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.

The equals method implements an equivalence relation on non-null object references:

  • It is reflexive: for any non-null reference value x, x.equals(x) should return true.
  • It is symmetric: for any non-null reference values x and y, x.equals(y) should return true if and only if y.equals(x) returns true.
  • It is transitive: for any non-null reference values x, y, and z, if x.equals(y) returns true and y.equals(z) returns true, then x.equals(z) should return true.
  • It is consistent: for any non-null reference values x and y, multiple invocations of x.equals(y) consistently return true or consistently return false, provided no information used in equals comparisons on the objects is modified.
  • For any non-null reference value x, x.equals(null) should return false.

An equivalence relation partitions the elements it operates on into equivalence classes; all the members of an equivalence class are equal to each other. Members of an equivalence class are substitutable for each other, at least for some purposes.

Parameters
obj the reference object with which to compare.
o This value may be null.
Return
Boolean true if this object is the same as the obj argument; false otherwise.

Properties

columnSpec

Added in API level 14
var columnSpec: GridLayout.Spec!

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 ViewGroup#setLayoutParams(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.
