Android LinearLayout example

What is Android layout?

Layout denotes the architecture of the application, where and how the controls should be organized in the UI.It defines the layout structure and holds all the elements that appear to the user.

Android allows us to create layouts for the applications using simple XML file and those layouts must be placed in /res/layout folder.

We can declare the layout in two ways and here we will discuss first way of doing it:

1. Declare UI elements in XML
2. Create UI elements at runtime using Java.
