The form takes care of positioning the components. It uses a layout manager to decide where everything goes. For you AWT and Swing jocks, this should sound familar. Layout managers are great for mobile applications because they are good at adjusting to different screen sizes and filling the available space gracefully.
LWUIT includes five layout managers.
- FlowLayout places components from left to right in rows, just like English text.
- BorderLayout has a large center area and four smaller areas around the edges.
- BoxLayout arranges components in a single row or column.
- GridLayout places components in a grid.
- More complex layouts can be accomplished using GroupLayout and its helper class Group.
