The Art of Doing: Dive Into Android Development with Kotlin - Constraint Layout Basics 3

This video tutorial introduces constraint layouts, focusing on how to align multiple views using chains. It covers creating horizontal and vertical chains, adjusting chain styles, and using layout weights. The tutorial also provides tips for managing constraints and highlights the advantages of constraint layouts over linear layouts.

What is the primary purpose of using chains in constraint layouts?

• To create animations

• To align and distribute space between views

• To enhance view visibility

• To add color to views

Which chain style spaces views evenly after accounting for margins?

• Weighted

• Packed

• Spread

• Spread Inside

What happens when you apply the 'packed' chain style?

• Views are pushed to the edges

• Views are aligned to the center

• Views are spaced evenly

• Views are packed together with space outside

How can you adjust the size of buttons in a horizontal chain?

• By changing the orientation

• By adding more buttons

• By using layout constraint weights

• By changing the color

What is the effect of setting a layout constraint horizontal weight to 2 for a button?

• The button becomes twice as wide as others with weight 1

• The button's color changes

• The button becomes half as wide as others with weight 1

• The button's height is doubled

What is the first step in creating a vertical chain?

• Add a new layout

• Change the background color

• Delete existing constraints

• Select all views to be included

Which chain style places one view at the top and one at the bottom, spreading the rest evenly?

• Spread

• Packed

• Spread Inside

• Weighted
