The difference between android:layout_gravity and android:gravity

The difference between the use of 1.android:layout_gravity and android:gravity.

Android:gravity:

This controls the display position of the elements in the control. For example, in a button control, the following settings

Android:gravity= "left" and android:text= "submit", then the text "Submit" on the button will be on the right side of the button.

Android:layout_gravity:

This controls the position of the control itself in its parent control. Similarly, when we set the button in the buttons control

Android:layout_gravity= the "left" property, this button will be located at the right-hand side of the interface.

2. Attribute values:

The optional values for these two properties are: Top, bottom, left, right, center_vertical, fill_vertical, Center_horizontal, fill_horizontal, center, fill, Clip_vertical.

A property can contain multiple values and requires the "|" Separate. It has the following meanings:

Top	Places the object at the top of its container without changing its size.
Bottom	Places the object at the bottom of its container, without changing its size.
Left	Places the object on the left side of its container without changing its size.
Right	Places the object on the right side of its container without changing its size.
Center_vertical	Centers the object vertically without changing its size. Vertical alignment: Center-aligned vertically.
Fill_vertical	When necessary, increase the vertical size of the object to fully fill its container. Vertical fill
Center_horizontal	Centers the object horizontally, without changing its size. Horizontal alignment: Center aligned horizontally
Fill_horizontal	When necessary, increase the horizontal size of the object to fully fill its container. Fill horizontally
Center	Centers the object horizontally, without changing its size.
Fill	When necessary, increase the cross-portrait size of the object to fully fill its container.
Clip_vertical	Additional options for cutting the contents of the top and/or bottom of the object according to the edges of the container. Clipping is based on its vertical alignment settings: When the top is aligned, the bottom is clipped, the top is clipped at the bottom, and the top and bottom are cut apart. Crop vertically
Clip_horizontal	An additional option to cut the contents of the left and/or right of the object according to the edges of the container. Clipping is based on its horizontal alignment settings: Cut to the right when left aligned, cut to the left when aligned to the right, and cut to the left and right. Horizontal Orientation Clipping

3. Special Circumstances

When we adopt the LinearLayout layout, we should pay attention to the following special cases:

(1) When android:orientation= "vertical", the android:layout_gravity only works horizontally, and the vertical setting does not work. That is: The left,right,center_horizontal is in force.

(2) when the android:orientation= "horizontal", android:layout_gravity only the vertical direction of the setting to function, the horizontal direction of the setting does not work. That is: The top,bottom,center_vertical is in force.
