## Installation and usage

Take from maven repository (<http://search.maven.org/#search%7Cga%7C1%7Corg.apmem.tools>, <http://mvnrepository.com/search.html?query=org.apmem.tools>) or add FlowLayout and other components to your solution

Add it as dependency in Gradle as:

	compile 'org.apmem.tools:layouts:1.10@aar'

Or maven

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.apmem.tools</groupId>
            <artifactId>layouts</artifactId>
            <version>1.10</version>
            <scope>provided</scope>
        </dependency>

Add the following xml code into your layout/something.xml:

	<org.apmem.tools.layouts.FlowLayout
		xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
		android:layout_width="fill_parent"
		android:layout_height="wrap_content"
	>
	</org.apmem.tools.layouts.FlowLayout>

To change default direction use the following code

	android:orientation="vertical"

To change layout direction use the following code

	xmlns:f="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/your.namespace"
	f:layoutDirection="rtl"
	
Android gravity now supported (in combination with elements weight):

        f:weightDefault="1.0"
        android:gravity="fill"

To override default spacing between elements use default android margins in the child View element:

	android:layout_marginTop="32dip"
	android:layout_marginRight="32dip"

Also if you need to break line before some object even if there is enough space for it in the previous line - use the following LayoutParameter in the child view element:

	f:layout_newLine="true"

## Detailed parameters

Layout parameters:

	* android:orientation - line direction. Use one of the following values:

		* horizontal - line will be in horizontal direction, linebreak will create new line

		* vertical - line will be in vertical direction, linebreak will create new column

        * android:gravity - standart android gravity supported

	* debugDraw - draw debug information

        * weightDefault - default weight value for child elements. Used to fill line in case of Gravity.FILL_HORIZONTAL | Gravity.FILL_VERTICAL

        * layoutDirection - direction of inner child elements:

                *  ltr - left to right direction

                *  rtl - right to left direction

Child layout parameters:

	* android:layout_margin* - override default spacings

	* android:layout_gravity - standart aandroid gravity supported

        * layout_weight - weight of the element. If not specified "layout.defaultWight" is used.

	* layout_newLine - brake line before current element even if there is enough place in the current line.
