<\/center>Important Note 1:<\/strong><\/span> Absolute layout are harder to maintain for different mobile screen sizes than other types of layouts because we set the exact location of a child view or called component. The positioning is based on x(top) and y(left) coordinates and that positioning is not as useful in world of various screen resolutions(sizes) and aspect ratios.<\/p>\nImportant Note 2:<\/strong><\/span> Absolute layout is depreciated in Android because of the same reason as discussed in above note.<\/p>\n 1.id:<\/strong><\/span> In android id is a attribute used to uniquely identify a Absolute Layout. 2.layout_x:<\/strong><\/span> In Absolute Layout layout_x attribute is used to specify the x- coordinate of the view(TextView or any other view). The possible value for this is in dp or px.<\/p>\n 3.layout_y:<\/strong><\/span> In AbsoluteLayout layout_y attribute is used to specify the y- coordinate of the view(TextView or any other view). The possible value for this is in dp or px.<\/p>\n Below is the example code of Absolute Layout in which we design a login screen with two field user name and password and one button for login. We set the all views using x and y coordinates of the screen and set the values in px(pixels). Below is the final output and code:<\/p>\n [cp_modal id=”cp_id_390fb”] Select File -> New -> New Project. Fill the forms and click “Finish” button.<\/p>\n Step 2:<\/strong><\/span> Open res -> layout -> activity_main.xml (or) main.xml and add following code. Here we are designing a login form inside Absolute Layout.<\/p>\n Step 3:<\/strong><\/span> Now Open java -> package -> MainActivity.java and paste the below code.<\/p>\n Step 4:<\/strong><\/span> Now Open Manifests and click on AndroidManifest.xml and paste the below code<\/p>\n Step 5:<\/strong><\/span> Lastly Open res -> values ->strings.xml and paste the below code.<\/p>\n Output:<\/strong><\/p>\n Now run the App in Emulator or AVD. You will see the login form designed in Absoulte Layout having fix x and y coordinate.<\/p>\n In Android, an Absolute Layout is a layout used to design the custom layouts. In this layout you can specify the exact location of its children by using x and y coordinates.
