ConstraintLayout offers flexible and flat view hierarchy, enabling complex UI designs with reduced nesting. It supports guidelines, barriers, chains, and bias for positioning.
LinearLayout arranges views sequentially in a single direction (horizontal or vertical), using weights to distribute space proportionally among children.
RelativeLayout positions views relative to siblings or parent edges, allowing overlapping but increasing complexity as more relationships are defined.
FrameLayout stacks child views on top of each other, useful for simple overlays or wrapping content within another layout.
