Creating layouts with the Layout Manager

LWUIT supports much more freedom in layout creation than LCDUI does. The following layout managers are supported for Series 40 applications.

Layout	Description	Screenshot
BorderLayout	Allows positioning the UI components based on Top, Bottom, Center, Left, and Right attributes.
BoxLayout	Allows placing the UI elements on top of each other or in a row.
FlowLayout	Default layout manager. Places components in a row. Components are sized in the preferred size. Can use multiple rows if components do not fit on one row. Elements can be aligned to left, center or right.
GridLayout	Places components in a grid of cells where each component takes all the available space within its cell, and all cells are of exactly the same size.
GroupLayout	For complex layouts. Components can be grouped and positioned in sequential or parallel arrangement. Sequential group: positions child elements one after another. Parallel group: positions child elements in the same space on top of each other. Elements can be aligned horizontally or vertically.
CoordinateLayout	Assigns a component an absolute position in relation to the space available within the UI. Components can be positioned within an X/Y location but the positions are relative. The position is calculated based on the available space.
TableLayout	Components are automatically sized to the largest preferred size until you run out of space. If the table is not horizontally scrollable, this happens when the edge of the parent container is reached (near the edge of the screen), and additional components are "crammed together". Cells are always sized to fit the entire cell.
