What are ViewGroup?
In simple terms ViewGroup works as a container in which we can add blocks of views.A ViewGroup is a big View that can contain smaller Views inside of it. The smaller Views are called the children of the ViewGroup and might be TextViews or ImageViews.

Types of ViewGroup👇

1. LinearLayout

2. RelativeLayout
   3.ConstraintLayout

1.1 What is LinearLayout ?
➡️ It is a view group that aligns all children in a single direction, vertically or horizontally.

(In term of web development)[LinearLayout in Android is similar to Flex in Web Development]
