I'm taking a fairly recent course on android development, and it uses GridLayout a few times during the course. However, I've noticed that GridLayout has been moved to the Legacy tab of Android Studio since the time of recording (I'm using Android Studio 4.1 now). My questions are:

  1. Why is GridLayout legacy now? what was wrong with it?
  2. What layout should you use instead? I'm imagining there was a layout that could provide similar functionality to GridLayout which justified moving it to the legacy tab. The only thing I can think of is the TableLayout, but mimicing GridLayouts features with it is not always intuitive for me.

Thanks in advance!

  • @zoldxk Thanks, I had already seen that link, but the problem is that it discusses all the Legacy items except ```GridLayout```. (There is some mention of ```GridView``` though, which is not what I'm looking for.) – ahmadPH Mar 31 '21 at 11:39
