How are Layouts Placed in Android?

In Android, layouts are typically placed using XML (eXtensible Markup Language) within the “res/layout” directory of your Android project. XML is used to define the structure and appearance of the user interface components in your app.

The XML layout files describe the arrangement and properties of UI elements such as buttons, text fields, and more. These layout files can be created manually or using the visual design editor provided by Android Studio.

Once defined, these layouts can be inflated at runtime to create the actual user interface for your app. The inflation process involves converting the XML layout description into the corresponding visual elements that are displayed on the screen.

In summary, layouts in Android are placed and defined using XML files, and the framework uses these descriptions to render the user interface of your app.
