How to make LinearLayout backward compatible?

If you're developing an Android application and want to use a LinearLayout that is backward compatible, you can achieve this by using the 'androidx' libraries which provide backward compatibility for many components.

Here’s a simple example of how to create a LinearLayout that will work on older Android versions as well:

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:orientation="vertical"> <TextView android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Hello, World!" /> </LinearLayout>
