Is it just me?
if you use less than 15 views, use Linear layout and keep the stack less than 6, I don't really have any problems, use more than 15 views with Constraint Layout and it can become a nightmare, changing id and moving views.
I have been trying to build a grid of buttons (45) (till app)
but i need the user to add them and edit the text, size for each button.
First I looked at grid view, you can change the element size(every tile has to be the same size) that's no good to me. Second I tried Constraint Layout but I need the user to make some tiles(buttons) gone, and the rest auto resize to take up any available space, can't see this working with a grid of views(sure it would great with 10 views with Barrier(as this would add 9 more Barrier.views with more id's to keep track of)
so I can't see this working with 45 buttons.
Linear Layout gives you all the control you would ever need with weights but its heavy on system resources(well that's the warning say)
Is Linear Layout my best option?
