'When to use which Layouts in Android?
So I have been writing some Android code for a week or two and some layouts are self-explanatory such as gird, table, and so on. However, I am still confused about when to use Linear layouts, when to use Constraint Layouts and when shall I use Relative Layouts. I know that Google prefers Constraint layouts but, a lot of code samples use other kinds of Layouts. I am confused if I shall even prefer other kinds of layouts or not?

The idea is to get the less nesting in your layout as possible, this for performance, if the layout is quite simple and show a vertical or horizontal layout, I will use LinearLayout, otherwise I will use ConstraintLayout because it's the more powerful layout and any layout can be implemented with ConstraintLayout even the simple ones and it's the evolution of RelativeLayout, also android recommends to use that layout.
