Explain the difference between LinearLayout, RelativeLayout, and FrameLayout
Understanding of ViewGroup measurement and simplicity versus flexibility tradeoffs. LinearLayout for 1D lists, RelativeLayout for complex sibling rules, FrameLayout for single-child or overlap.
Understanding of Android ViewGroup measurement passes and choosing the right container instead of defaulting to one layout. LinearLayout for horizontal or vertical sequences using weight, RelativeLayout for positioning children relative to siblings or parent edges, FrameLayout for fragment containers or layered views like a full-bleed image with a corner badge. Claiming RelativeLayout is the only correct choice for everything, or asserting FrameLayout cannot hold multiple children, or ignoring layout_weight in LinearLayout.
