android.widget.AbsoluteLayout is an Android layout class that positions child views directly by x and y coordinates. Because layouts easily break on devices with varied screen sizes and resolutions, it was deprecated early on. RelativeLayout, FrameLayout, ConstraintLayout, and others are recommended instead.
