What is the difference between layout gravity and gravity in android?

Question

I always struggled when and where to use layout_gravity and gravity. Pleaae help me

Answer 1

Easy trick to remember: Take "layout-gravity" as "Lay-outside-gravity"

Their names should help you:

1. android:gravity sets the gravity of the content of the View its used on.
2. android:layout_gravity sets the gravity of the View or Layout in its parent.

And an example is here.
