How to use LinearLayout in an Android app?

LinearLayout is a widely-used layout in Android that arranges its child views in a single row or a single column. It is flexible, easy to use, and essential for building user interfaces in Android applications.

How to Implement LinearLayout

To use a LinearLayout in your Android app, you need to define it in your XML layout file. Here's a basic example:

<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!" /> <Button android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Click Me" /> </LinearLayout>

This example creates a vertical LinearLayout containing a TextView and a Button.
