What does android:layout_weight mean?

Question

I don\'t understand how to use this attribute. Can anyone tell me more about it?

Answer 1

Think it that way, will be simpler

If you have 3 buttons and their weights are 1,3,1 accordingly, it will work like table in HTML

Provide 5 portions for that line: 1 portion for button 1, 3 portion for button 2 and 1 portion for button 1

Regard,
