Attributes

Remarks

Does the hard part of measureChildren: figuring out the MeasureSpec to pass to a particular child. This method figures out the right MeasureSpec for one dimension (height or width) of one child view.

The goal is to combine information from our MeasureSpec with the LayoutParams of the child to get the best possible results. For example, if the this view knows its size (because its MeasureSpec has a mode of EXACTLY), and the child has indicated in its LayoutParams that it wants to be the same size as the parent, the parent should ask the child to layout given an exact size.
