The Art of Doing: Dive Into Android Development with Kotlin - Constraint Layout Basics 1

The video tutorial introduces the concept of constraint layouts in Android Studio, contrasting it with linear layouts. It explains how constraints work, allowing precise positioning of views without nesting. The tutorial includes a practical demonstration of setting constraints, using the constraint widget, and handling errors. It emphasizes the importance of having at least one horizontal and one vertical constraint for each view to ensure proper positioning in the app.

Explain the concept of constraints in Android Studio and their importance in layout design.

What happens to a view if it does not have at least one horizontal and one vertical constraint?

What is meant by a 'flat view hierarchy' in the context of constraint layouts?

How does removing a constraint affect the position of a view in a constraint layout?
