What happens if you use nested LinearLayouts without weights?
Consider an Android layout with nested LinearLayouts but no weights assigned. What is the most likely visible effect on the UI?
Android Kotlin
val layout = LinearLayout(this).apply {
  orientation = LinearLayout.VERTICAL
  addView(TextView(this@MainActivity).apply { text = "Top" })
  addView(LinearLayout(this@MainActivity).apply {
    orientation = LinearLayout.HORIZONTAL
    addView(Button(this@MainActivity).apply { text = "Left" })
    addView(Button(this@MainActivity).apply { text = "Right" })
  })
}
AButtons "Left" and "Right" share space equally horizontally.
BButtons "Left" and "Right" overlap each other.
CButtons "Left" and "Right" take only the space they need, possibly causing uneven spacing.
DButtons "Left" and "Right" are stacked vertically.

Why is mastering ConstraintLayout important for professional Android UIs?
Which of the following best explains why mastering ConstraintLayout leads to more professional Android user interfaces?
AIt only works on tablets, improving tablet UI quality.
BIt allows precise positioning and flexible resizing of UI elements across screen sizes.
CIt restricts UI elements to fixed sizes and positions for consistency.
DIt automatically generates UI code without developer input.

How does improper layout inflation affect app performance?
What is the main performance issue caused by inflating layouts inefficiently in Android apps?
AIt prevents the app from accessing network resources.
BIt causes the app to crash immediately on launch.
CIt disables user interaction with UI elements.
DIt leads to slow UI rendering and increased memory usage.

What is the effect of missing layout constraints in ConstraintLayout?
In ConstraintLayout, what happens if a UI element is missing horizontal or vertical constraints?
AThe element may overlap others or be positioned unpredictably.
BThe element will not be visible and causes a runtime error.
CThe element is resized to fill the parent layout.
DThe element is centered automatically on the screen.

💡 Hint
Think about how ConstraintLayout needs constraints to know where to place views.

Why does this layout cause overlapping buttons on different screen sizes?
Given this XML snippet, why do the buttons overlap on small screens?
Android Kotlin
<LinearLayout
  android:orientation="horizontal"
  android:layout_width="match_parent"
  android:layout_height="wrap_content">
  <Button
    android:layout_width="200dp"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="Button 1" />
  <Button
    android:layout_width="200dp"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="Button 2" />
</LinearLayout>
AFixed widths cause buttons to exceed screen width, overlapping each other.
BButtons lack layout_weight, so they shrink to zero width.
CLinearLayout orientation is vertical, stacking buttons on top of each other.
DButtons have conflicting IDs causing rendering errors.

💡 Hint
Consider how fixed sizes behave on small screens.
