Android Layout Trick

滥用LAYOUT会导致initialization, layout and drawing become slower.

如果你在嵌套几个linearlayout时用到weight参数，他要求孩子被测量俩次，这尤其昂贵的。

在一个listview中，你假设让他的ITEM显示出下列的一种格式。

< LinearLayout xmlns:android = "http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width = "fill_parent"
    android:layout_height = "?android:attr/listPreferredItemHeight"

    android:padding = "6dip" >

    < ImageView
        android:id = "@+id/icon"

        android:layout_width = "wrap_content"
        android:layout_height = "fill_parent"
        android:layout_marginRight = "6dip"

        android:src = "@drawable/icon" />

    < LinearLayout
        android:orientation = "vertical"

        android:layout_width = "0dip"
        android:layout_weight = "1"
        android:layout_height = "fill_parent" >

        < TextView
            android:layout_width = "fill_parent"
            android:layout_height = "0dip"
            android:layout_weight = "1"

            android:gravity = "center_vertical"
            android:text = "My Application" />

        < TextView
            android:layout_width = "fill_parent"
            android:layout_height = "0dip"
            android:layout_weight = "1"

            android:singleLine = "true"
            android:ellipsize = "marquee"
            android:text = "Simple application that shows how to use RelativeLayout" />

    </ LinearLayout >

</ LinearLayout >

这个layout可以工作但是非常浪费，因为你对这个LISTVIEW的每一个list view都要实例化这么一大串。可以relativelayout重写。
< RelativeLayout xmlns:android = "http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width = "fill_parent"
    android:layout_height = "?android:attr/listPreferredItemHeight"

    android:padding = "6dip" >

    < ImageView
        android:id = "@+id/icon"

        android:layout_width = "wrap_content"
        android:layout_height = "fill_parent"

        android:layout_alignParentTop = "true"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom = "true"
        android:layout_marginRight = "6dip"

        android:src = "@drawable/icon" />

    < TextView
        android:id = "@+id/secondLine"

        android:layout_width = "fill_parent"
        android:layout_height = "26dip"

        android:layout_toRightOf = "@id/icon"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom = "true"
        android:layout_alignParentRight = "true"

        android:singleLine = "true"
        android:ellipsize = "marquee"
        android:text = "Simple application that shows how to use RelativeLayout" />

    < TextView
        android:layout_width = "fill_parent"
        android:layout_height = "wrap_content"

        android:layout_toRightOf = "@id/icon"
        android:layout_alignParentRight = "true"
        android:layout_alignParentTop = "true"
        android:layout_above = "@id/secondLine"
        android:layout_alignWithParentIfMissing = "true"

        android:gravity = "center_vertical"
        android:text = "My Application" />

</ RelativeLayout >

list item要显示的文字有俩行，如果其中一行不可见，application将简单的设置这个textview to GONE.
这个工作当用linealayout时表现很好，但是用relativelayout时则不行。
To solve this problem, you can use a very special layout parameter called alignWithParentIfMissing .

通过HierarchyViewer你可以看出俩中形式，第二个每次创建一个list item时都会少创建一linearlayout
