How to do alignment of controls in linear or list layout ?

[Kacee Saxena]

Hello Techeis,

I am new to android, currently designing a User Home Page. I am not able to get to "extreme right/left" i.e. 4 corners of screen.Also, please let me know how to align UI controls like - Button , EditText, etc to left/right/center in Linear and List Layout. button code eg.

 

 <Button
  	 	android:id="@+id/UserProfileActivity_SignOutBtn"
  		android:text="@string/SignOuttBtn"  			
		android:layout_width="wrap_content"
		android:layout_height="20dp"
		
		android:textSize="12sp" 
		android:focusable="false"
		android:clickable="true" 	/>
   

These thigns are possible in Relative Layout using "android:layout_alignParent<left/right>" , but i was just wondering if tehre is any way to define these basic alignment in other layouts.

Thanks in advance,
Kacee

every control in a LinearLayout has a property android:layout_gravity use that you align your controls.

I am sure the official documentation will have this covered.
