Is GridLayout supported by proteus? If not then what is an alternative? - android-gridlayout

Question

I'm trying to use GridLayout in json like this
{
"type": "GridLayout",
"android": "http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android",
"orientation": "horizontal",
"layout_width": "match_parent",
"layout_height": "match_parent",
"columnCount": "2",
"rowCount": "2",
"children": [
{
"type": "TextView",
"layout_width": "wrap_content",
"layout_height": "wrap_content",
"layout_columnWeight": "1",
"layout_marginTop": "8dp",
"layout_marginLeft": "16dp",
"textSize": "20dp",
"textColor": "#android:color/background_dark",
"text": "244536"
},
{
"type": "TextView",
"layout_width": "wrap_content",
"layout_height": "wrap_content",
"layout_columnWeight": "1",
"layout_marginTop": "8dp",
"layout_marginLeft": "16dp",
"textSize": "20dp",
"textColor": "#android:color/background_dark",
"text": "244536"
}
]
}
I'm getting null when I am preparing a ProteusView .
If proteus does not support GridLayout, is there a way to use LinearLayout or RelativeLayout to get the same result

Answer 1

Proteus currently does NOT have an implementation for GridLayout; but you can implement the parser for GridLayout yourself and use it. Checkout an example of a custom parser called CircleViewParser and how to register it.
Alternatively, you can use LinearLayout with layout_weight.
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<TextView
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="One" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="Two" />
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1">
<TextView
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="Three" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="Four" />
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
