Layout information associated with each of the children of a GridLayout.

GridLayout supports both row and column spanning and arbitrary forms of alignment within each cell group. The fundamental parameters associated with each cell group are gathered into their vertical and horizontal components and stored in the rowSpec and columnSpec layout parameters. Specs are immutable structures and may be shared between the layout parameters of different children.

The row and column specs contain the leading and trailing indices along each axis and together specify the four grid indices that delimit the cells of this cell group.

The alignment properties of the row and column specs together specify both aspects of alignment within the cell group. It is also possible to specify a child's alignment within its cell group by using the setGravity(int) method.

The weight property is also included in Spec and specifies the proportion of any excess space that is due to the associated view.

WRAP_CONTENT and MATCH_PARENT

Because the default values of the width and height properties are both WRAP_CONTENT, this value never needs to be explicitly declared in the layout parameters of GridLayout's children. In addition, GridLayout does not distinguish the special size value MATCH_PARENT from WRAP_CONTENT. A component's ability to expand to the size of the parent is instead controlled by the principle of flexibility, as discussed in GridLayout.

Summary

You should not need to use either of the special size values: WRAP_CONTENT or MATCH_PARENT when configuring the children of a GridLayout.

Default values

Fields

columnSpec

GridLayout.Spec columnSpec

The spec that defines the horizontal characteristics of the cell group described by these layout parameters. If an assignment is made to this field after a measurement or layout operation has already taken place, a call to setLayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams) must be made to notify GridLayout of the change. GridLayout is normally able to detect when code fails to observe this rule, issue a warning and take steps to compensate for the omission. This facility is implemented on a best effort basis and should not be relied upon in production code - so it is best to include the above calls to remove the warnings as soon as it is practical.

rowSpec

GridLayout.Spec rowSpec

The spec that defines the vertical characteristics of the cell group described by these layout parameters. If an assignment is made to this field after a measurement or layout operation has already taken place, a call to setLayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams) must be made to notify GridLayout of the change. GridLayout is normally able to detect when code fails to observe this rule, issue a warning and take steps to compensate for the omission.

Public methods

equals

boolean equals (Object o)

Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.

The equals method implements an equivalence relation on non-null object references:

  • It is reflexive: for any non-null reference value x, x.equals(x) should return true.
  • It is symmetric: for any non-null reference values x and y, x.equals(y) should return true if and only if y.equals(x) returns true.
  • It is transitive: for any non-null reference values x, y, and z, if x.equals(y) returns true and y.equals(z) returns true, then x.equals(z) should return true.
  • It is consistent: for any non-null reference values x and y, multiple invocations of x.equals(y) consistently return true or consistently return false, provided no information used in equals comparisons on the objects is modified.
  • For any non-null reference value x, x.equals(null) should return false.

The equals method for class Object implements the most discriminating possible equivalence relation on objects; that is, for any non-null reference values x and y, this method returns true if and only if x and y refer to the same object (x == y has the value true).

Note that it is generally necessary to override the hashCode method whenever this method is overridden, so as to maintain the general contract for the hashCode method, which states that equal objects must have equal hash codes.

Parameters
o Object: the reference object with which to compare.
Returns
boolean true if this object is the same as the obj argument; false otherwise.

hashCode

int hashCode ()

Returns a hash code value for the object. This method is supported for the benefit of hash tables such as those provided by HashMap.

The general contract of hashCode is:

  • Whenever it is invoked on the same object more than once during an execution of a Java application, the hashCode method must consistently return the same integer, provided no information used in equals comparisons on the object is modified. This integer need not remain consistent from one execution of an application to another execution of the same application.
  • If two objects are equal according to the equals(Object) method, then calling the hashCode method on each of the two objects must produce the same integer result.
  • It is not required that if two objects are unequal according to the equals(java.lang.Object) method, then calling the hashCode method on each of the two objects must produce distinct integer results. However, the programmer should be aware that producing distinct integer results for unequal objects may improve the performance of hash tables.

As much as is reasonably practical, the hashCode method defined by class Object does return distinct integers for distinct objects. (This is typically implemented by converting the internal address of the object into an integer, but this implementation technique is not required by the JavaTM programming language.)

Returns
int a hash code value for this object.

setGravity

void setGravity (int gravity)

Describes how the child views are positioned. Default is LEFT | BASELINE. See Gravity.

Parameters
gravity int: the new gravity value

Extracts the layout parameters from the supplied attributes.

Parameters
