Class Overview

A Layout where the positions of the children can be described in relation to each other or to the parent.

Note that you cannot have a circular dependency between the size of the RelativeLayout and the position of its children. For example, you cannot have a RelativeLayout whose height is set to WRAP_CONTENT and a child set to ALIGN_PARENT_BOTTOM .

Note: In platform version 17 and lower, RelativeLayout was affected by a measurement bug that could cause child views to be measured with incorrect MeasureSpec values. (See MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec for more details.) This was triggered when a RelativeLayout container was placed in a scrolling container, such as a ScrollView or HorizontalScrollView. If a custom view not equipped to properly measure with the MeasureSpec mode UNSPECIFIED was placed in a RelativeLayout, this would silently work anyway as RelativeLayout would pass a very large AT_MOST MeasureSpec instead.

This behavior has been preserved for apps that set android:targetSdkVersion="17" or older in their manifest's uses-sdk tag for compatibility. Apps targeting SDK version 18 or newer will receive the correct behavior

See the Relative Layout guide.

XML Attributes

android:gravity

Specifies how an object should position its content, on both the X and Y axes, within its own bounds.

Must be one or more (separated by '|') of the following constant values.

Constant	Value	Description
`top`	0x30	Push object to the top of its container, not changing its size.
`bottom`	0x50	Push object to the bottom of its container, not changing its size.
`left`	0x03	Push object to the left of its container, not changing its size.
`right`	0x05	Push object to the right of its container, not changing its size.
`center_vertical`	0x10	Place object in the vertical center of its container, not changing its size.
`fill_vertical`	0x70	Grow the vertical size of the object if needed so it completely fills its container.
`center_horizontal`	0x01	Place object in the horizontal center of its container, not changing its size.
`fill_horizontal`	0x07	Grow the horizontal size of the object if needed so it completely fills its container.
`center`	0x11	Place the object in the center of its container in both the vertical and horizontal axis, not changing its size.
`fill`	0x77	Grow the horizontal and vertical size of the object if needed so it completely fills its container.
`clip_vertical`	0x80	Additional option that can be set to have the top and/or bottom edges of the child clipped to its container's bounds. The clip will be based on the vertical gravity: a top gravity will clip the bottom edge, a bottom gravity will clip the top edge, and neither will clip both edges.
`clip_horizontal`	0x08	Additional option that can be set to have the left and/or right edges of the child clipped to its container's bounds. The clip will be based on the horizontal gravity: a left gravity will clip the right edge, a right gravity will clip the left edge, and neither will clip both edges.
`start`	0x00800003	Push object to the beginning of its container, not changing its size.
`end`	0x00800005	Push object to the end of its container, not changing its size.

This corresponds to the global attribute resource symbol gravity .

Public Methods

public boolean dispatchPopulateAccessibilityEvent ( AccessibilityEvent event)

Added in API level 4

Dispatches an AccessibilityEvent to the View first and then to its children for adding their text content to the event. Note that the event text is populated in a separate dispatch path since we add to the event not only the text of the source but also the text of all its descendants. A typical implementation will call onPopulateAccessibilityEvent(AccessibilityEvent) on the this view and then call the dispatchPopulateAccessibilityEvent(AccessibilityEvent) on each child. Override this method if custom population of the event text content is required.

If an View.AccessibilityDelegate has been specified via calling setAccessibilityDelegate(AccessibilityDelegate) its dispatchPopulateAccessibilityEvent(View, AccessibilityEvent) is responsible for handling this call.

Note: Accessibility events of certain types are not dispatched for populating the event text via this method. For details refer to AccessibilityEvent .

Parameters

event	The event.

Returns

True if the event population was completed.

public RelativeLayout.LayoutParams generateLayoutParams ( AttributeSet attrs)

Added in API level 1

Returns a new set of layout parameters based on the supplied attributes set.

Parameters

attrs	the attributes to build the layout parameters from

Returns

an instance of ViewGroup.LayoutParams or one of its descendants

public int getBaseline ()

Added in API level 1

Return the offset of the widget's text baseline from the widget's top boundary. If this widget does not support baseline alignment, this method returns -1.

Returns

the offset of the baseline within the widget's bounds or -1 if baseline alignment is not supported

public int getGravity ()

Added in API level 16

Describes how the child views are positioned.

Related XML Attributes

android:gravity

Returns

the gravity.

public void onInitializeAccessibilityEvent ( AccessibilityEvent event)

Added in API level 14

Initializes an AccessibilityEvent with information about this View which is the event source. In other words, the source of an accessibility event is the view whose state change triggered firing the event.

Example: Setting the password property of an event in addition to properties set by the super implementation:

          public void onInitializeAccessibilityEvent(AccessibilityEvent event) {
     super.onInitializeAccessibilityEvent(event);
     event.setPassword(true);
 }

If an View.AccessibilityDelegate has been specified via calling setAccessibilityDelegate(AccessibilityDelegate) its onInitializeAccessibilityEvent(View, AccessibilityEvent) is responsible for handling this call.

Note: Always call the super implementation before adding information to the event, in case the default implementation has basic information to add.

Parameters

event	The event to initialize.

public void onInitializeAccessibilityNodeInfo ( AccessibilityNodeInfo info)

Added in API level 14

Initializes an AccessibilityNodeInfo with information about this view. The base implementation sets:

Subclasses should override this method, call the super implementation, and set additional attributes.

If an View.AccessibilityDelegate has been specified via calling setAccessibilityDelegate(AccessibilityDelegate) its onInitializeAccessibilityNodeInfo(View, AccessibilityNodeInfo) is responsible for handling this call.

Parameters

info	The instance to initialize.

public void requestLayout ()

Added in API level 1

Call this when something has changed which has invalidated the layout of this view. This will schedule a layout pass of the view tree. This should not be called while the view hierarchy is currently in a layout pass ( isInLayout() . If layout is happening, the request may be honored at the end of the current layout pass (and then layout will run again) or after the current frame is drawn and the next layout occurs.

Subclasses which override this method should call the superclass method to handle possible request-during-layout errors correctly.

public void setGravity (int gravity)

Added in API level 1

Describes how the child views are positioned. Defaults to Gravity.START | Gravity.TOP .

Note that since RelativeLayout considers the positioning of each child relative to one another to be significant, setting gravity will affect the positioning of all children as a single unit within the parent. This happens after children have been relatively positioned.

Parameters

gravity	See `Gravity`

public void setHorizontalGravity (int horizontalGravity)

Added in API level 1

public void setIgnoreGravity (int viewId)

Added in API level 1

Defines which View is ignored when the gravity is applied. This setting has no effect if the gravity is Gravity.START | Gravity.TOP .

Related XML Attributes

android:ignoreGravity

Parameters

viewId	The id of the View to be ignored by gravity, or 0 if no View should be ignored.

public void setVerticalGravity (int verticalGravity)

Added in API level 1

public boolean shouldDelayChildPressedState ()

Added in API level 14

Return true if the pressed state should be delayed for children or descendants of this ViewGroup. Generally, this should be done for containers that can scroll, such as a List. This prevents the pressed state from appearing when the user is actually trying to scroll the content. The default implementation returns true for compatibility reasons. Subclasses that do not scroll should generally override this method and return false.

Protected Methods

protected boolean checkLayoutParams ( ViewGroup.LayoutParams p)

Added in API level 1

protected ViewGroup.LayoutParams generateDefaultLayoutParams ()

Added in API level 1

Returns a set of layout parameters with a width of WRAP_CONTENT , a height of WRAP_CONTENT and no spanning.

Returns

a set of default layout parameters or null

protected ViewGroup.LayoutParams generateLayoutParams ( ViewGroup.LayoutParams p)

Added in API level 1

Returns a safe set of layout parameters based on the supplied layout params. When a ViewGroup is passed a View whose layout params do not pass the test of checkLayoutParams(android.view.ViewGroup.LayoutParams) , this method is invoked. This method should return a new set of layout params suitable for this ViewGroup, possibly by copying the appropriate attributes from the specified set of layout params.

Parameters

p	The layout parameters to convert into a suitable set of layout parameters for this ViewGroup.

Returns

an instance of ViewGroup.LayoutParams or one of its descendants

protected void onLayout (boolean changed, int l, int t, int r, int b)

Added in API level 1

Called from layout when this view should assign a size and position to each of its children. Derived classes with children should override this method and call layout on each of their children.

Parameters

changed	This is a new size or position for this view
l	Left position, relative to parent
t	Top position, relative to parent
r	Right position, relative to parent
b	Bottom position, relative to parent

protected void onMeasure (int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec)

Added in API level 1

Measure the view and its content to determine the measured width and the measured height. This method is invoked by measure(int, int) and should be overriden by subclasses to provide accurate and efficient measurement of their contents.

CONTRACT: When overriding this method, you must call setMeasuredDimension(int, int) to store the measured width and height of this view. Failure to do so will trigger an IllegalStateException , thrown by measure(int, int) . Calling the superclass' onMeasure(int, int) is a valid use.

The base class implementation of measure defaults to the background size, unless a larger size is allowed by the MeasureSpec. Subclasses should override onMeasure(int, int) to provide better measurements of their content.

If this method is overridden, it is the subclass's responsibility to make sure the measured height and width are at least the view's minimum height and width ( getSuggestedMinimumHeight() and getSuggestedMinimumWidth() ).

Parameters

widthMeasureSpec	horizontal space requirements as imposed by the parent. The requirements are encoded with `View.MeasureSpec` .
heightMeasureSpec	vertical space requirements as imposed by the parent. The requirements are encoded with `View.MeasureSpec` .
