Here I am Introducing to Linear Layout:

As its name Linear means in line. Like if you want thing to display one by one in line you should use LinearLayout. Linearlayout have 2 types of orientation horizontal and vertical. Let us see them with examples-

       1)      Vertically

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"

    android:layout_width="match_parent"

    android:layout_height="match_parent"

    android:orientation="vertical"

    tools:context=".MainActivity" >

    <Button

        android:layout_width="wrap_content"

        android:layout_height="wrap_content"

        android:padding="5dp"

        android:text="Button1" />

    <Button

        android:layout_width="wrap_content"

        android:layout_height="wrap_content"

        android:padding="5dp"

        android:text="Button2" />

   

    <Button

        android:layout_width="wrap_content"

        android:layout_height="wrap_content"

        android:padding="5dp"

        android:text="Button3" />

   

    <Button

        android:layout_width="wrap_content"

        android:layout_height="wrap_content"

        android:padding="5dp"

        android:text="Button4" />

   

   

</LinearLayout>

      2) Horizontally

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"

    android:layout_width="match_parent"

    android:layout_height="match_parent"

    android:orientation="horizontal"

    tools:context=".MainActivity" >

    <Button

        android:layout_width="wrap_content"

        android:layout_height="wrap_content"

        android:padding="5dp"

        android:text="Button1" />

    <Button

        android:layout_width="wrap_content"

        android:layout_height="wrap_content"

        android:padding="5dp"

        android:text="Button2" />

   

    <Button

        android:layout_width="wrap_content"

        android:layout_height="wrap_content"

        android:padding="5dp"

        android:text="Button3" />

   

    <Button

        android:layout_width="wrap_content"

        android:layout_height="wrap_content"

        android:padding="5dp"

        android:text="Button4" />

   

   

</LinearLayout>

And use this MainActivity class to display your views-

package com.androidhub4you.linaerlayout;

import android.app.Activity;

import android.os.Bundle;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

       @Override

       protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

              super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

              setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

       }

}
