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](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/widget/GridLayout.LayoutParams#rowSpec:android.widget.GridLayout.Spec)and[columnSpec](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/widget/GridLayout.LayoutParams#columnSpec:android.widget.GridLayout.Spec)layout parameters.[Specs](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/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[GridLayout.LayoutParams.setGravity(int)](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/widget/GridLayout.LayoutParams#setGravity(kotlin.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](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/view/ViewGroup.LayoutParams.html#width:kotlin.Int)and[height](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/view/ViewGroup.LayoutParams.html#height:kotlin.Int)properties are both[WRAP_CONTENT](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/view/ViewGroup.LayoutParams.html#WRAP_CONTENT:kotlin.Int), 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](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/view/ViewGroup.LayoutParams.html#MATCH_PARENT:kotlin.Int)from[WRAP_CONTENT](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/view/ViewGroup.LayoutParams.html#WRAP_CONTENT:kotlin.Int). A component's ability to expand to the size of the parent is instead controlled by the principle of*flexibility* , as discussed in[GridLayout](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/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 -

Clones the width, height, margin values, row spec, and column spec of the source. | Parameters || |----------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | `source` | [GridLayout.LayoutParams](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/widget/GridLayout.LayoutParams#)!:The layout params to copy from. | ### LayoutParams Added in[API level 14](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#ApiLevels) ``` LayoutParams(     rowSpec: GridLayout.Spec!,     columnSpec: GridLayout.Spec!) ``` Constructs a new LayoutParams instance for this`rowSpec`and`columnSpec`. All other fields are initialized with default values as defined in[LayoutParams](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/widget/GridLayout.LayoutParams#). | Parameters || |--------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | `rowSpec` | [GridLayout.Spec](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/widget/GridLayout.Spec)!:the rowSpec | | `columnSpec` | [GridLayout.Spec](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/widget/GridLayout.Spec)!:the columnSpec | ## Public methods ### equals Added in[API level 14](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#ApiLevels) ``` 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](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-boolean/index.html) | `true`if this object is the same as the obj argument;`false`otherwise. | ### hashCode Added in[API level 14](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#ApiLevels) ``` open fun hashCode(): Int ``` | Return || |----------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------| | [Int](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-int/index.html) | a hash code value for this object. | ### setGravity Added in[API level 14](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#ApiLevels) ``` open fun setGravity(gravity: Int): Unit ``` Describes how the child views are positioned.

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)](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/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[API level 14](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#ApiLevels) ``` var rowSpec: GridLayout.Spec! ``` The spec that defines the vertical characteristics of the cell group described by these layout parameters.
