A layout defines the structure for a user interface in your app, such as in an activity. All elements in the layout are built using a hierarchy of View and ViewGroup objects. A View usually draws something the user can see and interact with.

What is Android layout and its types?

Android Layout Types

Sr.No Layout & Description
2 Relative Layout RelativeLayout is a view group that displays child views in relative positions.
3 Table Layout TableLayout is a view that groups views into rows and columns.
4 Absolute Layout AbsoluteLayout enables you to specify the exact location of its children.

Which layout is best for Android application?

Use FrameLayout, RelativeLayout or a custom layout instead.

Those layouts will adapt to different screen sizes, whereas AbsoluteLayout will not. I always go for LinearLayout over all other layout.
