Class GridLayout.LayoutParams

Enclosing class:
GridLayout

public static class GridLayout.LayoutParams extends ViewGroup.MarginLayoutParams
Layout information associated with each of the children of a GridLayout.

GridLayout supports both row and column spanning and arbitrary forms of alignment within each cell group. The fundamental parameters associated with each cell group are gathered into their vertical and horizontal components and stored in the rowSpec and columnSpec layout parameters. Specs are immutable structures and may be shared between the layout parameters of different children.

The row and column specs contain the leading and trailing indices along each axis and together specify the four grid indices that delimit the cells of this cell group.

The alignment properties of the row and column specs together specify both aspects of alignment within the cell group. It is also possible to specify a child's alignment within its cell group by using the setGravity(int) method.

The weight property is also included in Spec and specifies the proportion of any excess space that is due to the associated view.

WRAP_CONTENT and MATCH_PARENT

Because the default values of the ViewGroup.LayoutParams.width and ViewGroup.LayoutParams.height properties are both ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, this value never needs to be explicitly declared in the layout parameters of GridLayout's children. In addition, GridLayout does not distinguish the special size value ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT from ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT. A component's ability to expand to the size of the parent is instead controlled by the principle of flexibility, as discussed in GridLayout.

Summary

You should not need to use either of the special size values: WRAP_CONTENT or MATCH_PARENT when configuring the children of a GridLayout.

Default values

  • Field Details

    • rowSpec

      public GridLayout.Spec rowSpec
      The spec that defines the vertical characteristics of the cell group described by these layout parameters. If an assignment is made to this field after a measurement or layout operation has already taken place, a call to View.setLayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams) must be made to notify GridLayout of the change. GridLayout is normally able to detect when code fails to observe this rule, issue a warning and take steps to compensate for the omission. This facility is implemented on a best effort basis and should not be relied upon in production code - so it is best to include the above calls to remove the warnings as soon as it is practical.
    • columnSpec

      public GridLayout.Spec columnSpec
      The spec that defines the horizontal characteristics of the cell group described by these layout parameters. If an assignment is made to this field after a measurement or layout operation has already taken place, a call to View.setLayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams) must be made to notify GridLayout of the change. GridLayout is normally able to detect when code fails to observe this rule, issue a warning and take steps to compensate for the omission. This facility is implemented on a best effort basis and should not be relied upon in production code - so it is best to include the above calls to remove the warnings as soon as it is practical.
  • Constructor Details

    • LayoutParams

      public LayoutParams(GridLayout.Spec rowSpec, GridLayout.Spec columnSpec)
      Constructs a new LayoutParams instance for this rowSpec and columnSpec. All other fields are initialized with default values as defined in GridLayout.LayoutParams.
      Parameters:
      rowSpec - the rowSpec
      columnSpec - the columnSpec
    • LayoutParams

      public LayoutParams()
      Constructs a new LayoutParams with default values as defined in GridLayout.LayoutParams.
    • LayoutParams

      public LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams params)
    • LayoutParams

      public LayoutParams(ViewGroup.MarginLayoutParams params)
    • LayoutParams

      public LayoutParams(GridLayout.LayoutParams source)
      Copy constructor. Clones the width, height, margin values, row spec, and column spec of the source.
      Parameters:
      source - The layout params to copy from.
  • Method Details

    • setGravity

      public void setGravity(int gravity)
      Describes how the child views are positioned. Default is LEFT | BASELINE. See Gravity.
      Parameters:
      gravity - the new gravity value
    • equals

      public boolean equals(Object o)
      Overrides:
      equals in class Object
    • hashCode

      public int hashCode()
      Overrides:
      hashCode in class Object
