Relative Layout In Android

In this article, we will discuss about relative layout in android.

What Is Relative Layout?

Relative layout is the one that places the views relative to other child views or parent.

Layout_Below Attribute

As mentioned earlier that views are placed relative to each other. So, you define the attribute layout_below.

This attribute specifies which view is below the current view.

Example

Consider an example

<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
  <Button
  android:id="@+id/button6"
  android:layout_width="wrap_content"
  android:layout_height="wrap_content"
  android:layout_below="@id/button7"
  android:text="Button 6"/>
  <Button
  android:id="@+id/button7"
  android:layout_width="wrap_content"
  android:layout_height="wrap_content"
  android:text="Button 7" />
</RelativeLayout>

In this example, we have 2 buttons i.e. button 6 and button 7. In button 7, we have specified the attribute layout_below.

It means, position of button 6 and button 7 are relative to each other.
