What is baseline android in linearlayout

Question

BaseLine

When set to false, prevents the layout from aligning its children's baselines.

I don't get that give me a visual example please and also about android:baselineAlignedChildIndex

Answer 1

Here is an image of a baseline example in buttons in a linear horizontal oriented layout.

Answer 2

check out this image: android:baselineAlignedChildIndex example image .I got the image from this link.

Here in the image the "android:baselineAlignedChildIndex" attribute value is set as android:baselineAlignedChildIndex="1" so the textview is aligned in accordingly with button2 rather than with button1 .If we change the value as android:baselineAlignedChildIndex="0" the text is aligned in accordingly with button1 .(Usually index starts at "0")

Please refer this link for more information.
