Class Overview

A layout that places its children in a rectangular grid.

The grid is composed of a set of infinitely thin lines that separate the viewing area into cells. Throughout the API, grid lines are referenced by grid indices. A grid with N columns has N + 1 grid indices that run from 0 through N inclusive. Regardless of how GridLayout is configured, grid index 0 is fixed to the leading edge of the container and grid index N is fixed to its trailing edge (after padding is taken into account).

Row and Column Specs

Children occupy one or more contiguous cells, as defined by their rowSpec and columnSpec layout parameters. Each spec defines the set of rows or columns that are to be occupied; and how children should be aligned within the resulting group of cells. Although cells do not normally overlap in a GridLayout, GridLayout does not prevent children being defined to occupy the same cell or group of cells. In this case however, there is no guarantee that children will not themselves overlap after the layout operation completes.

Default Cell Assignment

If a child does not specify the row and column indices of the cell it wishes to occupy, GridLayout assigns cell locations automatically using its: orientation, rowCount and columnCount properties.

Space

Space between children may be specified either by using instances of the dedicated Space view or by setting the leftMargin, topMargin, rightMargin and bottomMargin layout parameters. When the useDefaultMargins property is set, default margins around children are automatically allocated based on the prevailing UI style guide for the platform. Each of the margins so defined may be independently overridden by an assignment to the appropriate layout parameter. Default values will generally produce a reasonable spacing between components but values may change between different releases of the platform.

Excess Space Distribution

GridLayout's distribution of excess space is based on priority rather than weight.

A child's ability to stretch is inferred from the alignment properties of its row and column groups (which are typically set by setting the gravity property of the child's layout parameters). If alignment was defined along a given axis then the component is taken as flexible in that direction. If no alignment was set, the component is instead assumed to be inflexible.

Multiple components in the same row or column group are considered to act in parallel. Such a group is flexible only if all of the components within it are flexible. Row and column groups that sit either side of a common boundary are instead considered to act in series. The composite group made of these two elements is flexible if one of its elements is flexible.

To make a column stretch, make sure all of the components inside it define a gravity. To prevent a column from stretching, ensure that one of the components in the column does not define a gravity.

When the principle of flexibility does not provide complete disambiguation, GridLayout's algorithms favour rows and columns that are closer to its right and bottom edges.

Limitations

GridLayout does not provide support for the principle of weight, as defined in weight. In general, it is not therefore possible to configure a GridLayout to distribute excess space between multiple components.

Some common use-cases may nevertheless be accommodated as follows. To place equal amounts of space around a component in a cell group; use CENTER alignment (or gravity). For complete control over excess space distribution in a row or column; use a LinearLayout subview to hold the components in the associated cell group. When using either of these techniques, bear in mind that cell groups may be defined to overlap.

See GridLayout.LayoutParams for a full description of the layout parameters used by GridLayout.

XML Attributes

android:alignmentMode

When set to alignMargins, causes alignment to take place between the outer boundary of a view, as defined by its margins. When set to alignBounds, causes alignment to take place between the edges of the view. The default is alignMargins. See setAlignmentMode(int).

Must be one of the following constant values.

Constant	Value	Description
`alignBounds`	0	Align the bounds of the children. See `ALIGN_BOUNDS`.
`alignMargins`	1	Align the margins of the children. See `ALIGN_MARGINS`.

This corresponds to the global attribute resource symbol alignmentMode.

Related Methods

setAlignmentMode(int)

android:columnCount

The maxmimum number of columns to create when automatically positioning children.

Must be an integer value, such as "100".

This may also be a reference to a resource (in the form "@[package:]type:name") or theme attribute (in the form "?[package:][type:]name") containing a value of this type.

This corresponds to the global attribute resource symbol columnCount.

Related Methods

setColumnCount(int)

android:columnOrderPreserved

When set to true, forces column boundaries to appear in the same order as column indices. The default is true. See setColumnOrderPreserved(boolean).

Must be a boolean value, either "true" or "false".

This may also be a reference to a resource (in the form "@[package:]type:name") or theme attribute (in the form "?[package:][type:]name") containing a value of this type.

This corresponds to the global attribute resource symbol columnOrderPreserved.

Related Methods

setColumnOrderPreserved(boolean)

android:orientation

The orientation property is not used during layout. It is only used to allocate row and column parameters when they are not specified by its children's layout paramters. GridLayout works like LinearLayout in this case; putting all the components either in a single row or in a single column - depending on the value of this flag. In the horizontal case, a columnCount property may be additionally supplied to force new rows to be created when a row is full. The rowCount attribute may be used similarly in the vertical case. The default is horizontal.

Must be one of the following constant values.

Constant	Value	Description
`horizontal`	0	Defines an horizontal widget.
`vertical`	1	Defines a vertical widget.

This corresponds to the global attribute resource symbol orientation.

Related Methods

setOrientation(int)

android:rowCount

The maxmimum number of rows to create when automatically positioning children.

Must be an integer value, such as "100".

This may also be a reference to a resource (in the form "@[package:]type:name") or theme attribute (in the form "?[package:][type:]name") containing a value of this type.

This corresponds to the global attribute resource symbol rowCount.

android:useDefaultMargins

When set to true, tells GridLayout to use default margins when none are specified in a view's layout parameters. The default value is false. See setUseDefaultMargins(boolean).

Must be a boolean value, either "true" or "false".

This may also be a reference to a resource (in the form "@[package:]type:name") or theme attribute (in the form "?[package:][type:]name") containing a value of this type.

This corresponds to the global attribute resource symbol useDefaultMargins.

Related Methods

Constants

public static final int ALIGN_BOUNDS

Added in API level 14

This constant is an alignmentMode. When the alignmentMode is set to ALIGN_BOUNDS, alignment is made between the edges of each component's raw view boundary: i.e. the area delimited by the component's: top, left, bottom and right properties.

For example, when GridLayout is in ALIGN_BOUNDS mode, children that belong to a row group that uses TOP alignment will all return the same value when their getTop() method is called.

public static final int ALIGN_MARGINS

Added in API level 14

This constant is an alignmentMode. When the alignmentMode is set to ALIGN_MARGINS, the bounds of each view are extended outwards, according to their margins, before the edges of the resulting rectangle are aligned.

For example, when GridLayout is in ALIGN_MARGINS mode, the quantity top - layoutParams.topMargin is the same for all children that belong to a row group that uses TOP alignment.

public static final int HORIZONTAL

Added in API level 14

The horizontal orientation.

Constant Value: 0 (0x00000000)

public static final int UNDEFINED

Added in API level 14

The constant used to indicate that a value is undefined. Fields can use this value to indicate that their values have not yet been set. Similarly, methods can return this value to indicate that there is no suitable value that the implementation can return. The value used for the constant (currently MIN_VALUE) is intended to avoid confusion between valid values whose sign may not be known.

Constant Value: -2147483648 (0x80000000)

public static final int VERTICAL

Added in API level 14

The vertical orientation.

Constant Value: 1 (0x00000001)

Fields

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 14

Call this when something has changed which has invalidated the layout of this view. This will schedule a layout pass of the view tree.

public void setAlignmentMode (int alignmentMode)

Added in API level 14

Sets the alignment mode to be used for all of the alignments between the children of this container.

The default value of this property is ALIGN_MARGINS.

Related XML Attributes

android:alignmentMode

Parameters

alignmentMode	either `ALIGN_BOUNDS` or `ALIGN_MARGINS`

public void setColumnCount (int columnCount)

Added in API level 14

ColumnCount is used only to generate default column/column indices when they are not specified by a component's layout parameters.

Related XML Attributes

android:columnCount

Parameters

columnCount	the number of columns.

public void setColumnOrderPreserved (boolean columnOrderPreserved)

Added in API level 14

When this property is true, GridLayout is forced to place the column boundaries so that their associated grid indices are in ascending order in the view.

When this property is false GridLayout is at liberty to place the horizontal column boundaries in whatever order best fits the given constraints.

The default value of this property is true.

Related XML Attributes

android:columnOrderPreserved

Parameters

columnOrderPreserved	use `true` to force GridLayout to respect the order of column boundaries.

public void setOrientation (int orientation)

Added in API level 14

GridLayout uses the orientation property for two purposes:

To control the 'direction' in which default row/column indices are generated when they are not specified in a component's layout parameters.
To control which axis should be processed first during the layout operation: when orientation is HORIZONTAL the horizontal axis is laid out first.

The order in which axes are laid out is important if, for example, the height of one of GridLayout's children is dependent on its width - and its width is, in turn, dependent on the widths of other components.

If your layout contains a TextView (or derivative: Button, EditText, CheckBox, etc.) which is in multi-line mode (the default) it is normally best to leave GridLayout's orientation as HORIZONTAL - because TextView is capable of deriving its height for a given width, but not the other way around.

Other than the effects above, orientation does not affect the actual layout operation of GridLayout, so it's fine to leave GridLayout in HORIZONTAL mode even if the height of the intended layout greatly exceeds its width.

The default value of this property is HORIZONTAL.

Related XML Attributes

android:orientation

Parameters

orientation	either `HORIZONTAL` or `VERTICAL`

public void setRowCount (int rowCount)

Added in API level 14

RowCount is used only to generate default row/column indices when they are not specified by a component's layout parameters.

Related XML Attributes

android:rowCount

Parameters

rowCount	the number of rows

public void setRowOrderPreserved (boolean rowOrderPreserved)

Added in API level 14

When this property is true, GridLayout is forced to place the row boundaries so that their associated grid indices are in ascending order in the view.

When this property is false GridLayout is at liberty to place the vertical row boundaries in whatever order best fits the given constraints.

The default value of this property is true.

Related XML Attributes

android:rowOrderPreserved

Parameters

rowOrderPreserved	`true` to force GridLayout to respect the order of row boundaries

public void setUseDefaultMargins (boolean useDefaultMargins)

Added in API level 14

When true, GridLayout allocates default margins around children based on the child's visual characteristics. Each of the margins so defined may be independently overridden by an assignment to the appropriate layout parameter.

When false, the default value of all margins is zero.

When setting to true, consider setting the value of the alignmentMode property to ALIGN_BOUNDS.

The default value of this property is false.

Related XML Attributes

android:useDefaultMargins

Parameters

useDefaultMargins	use `true` to make GridLayout allocate default margins

public static GridLayout.Spec spec (int start, GridLayout.Alignment alignment)

size	the size

public static GridLayout.Spec spec (int start, int size, GridLayout.Alignment alignment)

Added in API level 14

Return a Spec, spec, where:

spec.span = [start, start + size]
spec.alignment = alignment

Parameters

start	the start
size	the size
alignment	the alignment

public static GridLayout.Spec spec (int start)

Protected Methods

protected boolean checkLayoutParams (ViewGroup.LayoutParams p)

Added in API level 14

protected GridLayout.LayoutParams generateDefaultLayoutParams ()

Added in API level 14

Returns a set of default layout parameters. These parameters are requested when the View passed to addView(View) has no layout parameters already set. If null is returned, an exception is thrown from addView.

Returns

a set of default layout parameters or null

protected GridLayout.LayoutParams generateLayoutParams (ViewGroup.LayoutParams p)

Added in API level 14

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 left, int top, int right, int bottom)

Added in API level 14

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
left	Left position, relative to parent
top	Top position, relative to parent
right	Right position, relative to parent
bottom	Bottom position, relative to parent

protected void onMeasure (int widthSpec, int heightSpec)

Added in API level 14

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

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