Gravity and layout gravity on Android

Questions

I know we can set the following values to the android:gravity and android:layout_gravity properties:

• center
• center_vertical
• center_horizontal, etc.

But I am confused regarding both of these.

What is the difference between the usage of android:gravity and android:layout_gravity?

Answers

Their names should help you:

• android:gravity sets the gravity of the content of the View its used on.
• android:layout_gravity sets the gravity of the View or Layout in its parent.
