setHorizontalBias

setHorizontalBias is a property used in some graphical user interface layout systems, particularly within Android development, to influence how a View is positioned horizontally within its parent layout. It's a modifier that affects the distribution of space when the parent layout has more horizontal space available than is required by its children. Specifically, setHorizontalBias allows a developer to specify a value between 0.0 and 1.0 that dictates where a View will be aligned within that extra space. A bias of 0.0 will push the View towards the left edge, while a bias of 1.0 will push it towards the right edge. A bias of 0.5 will center the View horizontally. This property is often used in conjunction with layout constraints, such as those found in ConstraintLayout, to achieve precise and dynamic positioning of UI elements. It provides a fine-grained control over the distribution of available space, enabling more flexible and responsive user interfaces. When the total width of child views is less than the parent's width, the horizontal bias determines how the remaining space is allocated.
