Layout XML Code (Cont.)
android:layout_weight = "0.07"
The android:layout_weight assigns an “importance” value to a view in terms of how much space it should occupy on the screen. A larger weight value allows it to expand to fill any remaining space in the parent view.

android:weightSum="1"
Defines the maximum weight sum. If unspecified, the sum is computed by adding the layout_weight of all of the children.

android:gravity="center"
This attribute specifies how to place the content of an object, both on the x- and y-axis, within the object itself. The value center places the object in the center of its container in both the vertical and horizontal axis, not changing its size.

android:textAppearance = "?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
This corresponds to the global attribute resource symbol textAppearance, which specifies base text color, typeface, size, and style. Must be a reference to another resource, in the form 
   @[+][package:]type:name
such as @android:color/black or to a theme attribute in the form 
   ?[package:][type:]name
such as ?android:attr/textColorPrimary.
