Relative Layout Tutorial<\/a> In the example of Linear Layout in relative layout we create custom layout of four buttons by using two Linear Layout\u2019s. We place both the layout\u2019s inside Relative Layout one after another by using different properties of Relative Layout. Finally we get the reference of Button in our Activity and perform click events on them. Whenever a user click on any Button the name of the Button is displayed on the screen by using a Toast.<\/p>\n Below you can download code, see final output and step by step explanation:<\/p>\n Download Code<\/a> ?<\/a><\/p>\n Step 1:<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0Create a new project and name it LinearLayoutInsideRelativeLayout.<\/p>\n Step 2:<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0Open res -> layout -> activity_main.xml (or) main.xml and add following code:<\/p>\n In this step we open xml file and then create custom layout of four buttons by using two Linear Layout\u2019s and then place the both layout\u2019s inside Relative Layout one after another by using \u00a0different properties of Relative Layout.<\/p>\n Step 3:<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0Open src -> package -> MainActivity.java<\/p>\n In this step Firstly we get the reference of Button\u2019s and then perform click event on all the Button\u2019s.
