一个关于gravity和layout_gravity的例子

这其实是两部分，分开一些比较清晰

    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:background="#666666">

    <!-- 
        TextView 一只
        LinearLayout 一只（包含三只按钮）
    -->

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Linear Layout - horizontal, gravity=center"

        <!-- LinearLayout  gravity="center" 
                Button中 layout_gravity

总结也搬来了，英文的

android:gravity attribute

Strictly speaking android:gravity is not a Layout Param. The android:gravity is really an attribute of the View Group. It controls the way the contents of the View Group will be positioned horizontally and vertically.

1. In the above example the top Linear Layout is a horizontal Linear Layout. So setting the android:gravity=center has an effect of positioning the set of buttons in the horizontal center.

2. In the above example the bottom Linear Layout is a vertical Linear Layout. So setting the android:gravity=center has an effect of positioning the set of buttons in the vertical center.

android:layout_gravity Layout Param

The android:layout_gravity is a Layout Param.

Not all View Groups support this Layout Param. See the documentation to find out which Layout Params are supported by a particular View Group. Linear Layout does support android:layout_gravity Layout Param.

For a horizontal Linear Layout the following values make sense:

• top
• center
• bottom

That is because the children of a horizontal Linear Layout are laid out horizontally one after the other. Only thing can be controlled using the android:layout_gravity is how a child view is positioned vertically.

同样，for a vertical Linear Layout the following values make sense:

• left
• center
• right
