Justification

Interactions between Parent and Sibling Justification

Until now you have only been setting a view's justification relative to either a sibling or its parent. You can also set a view's sibling and parent justification simultaneously.

Since you can set both parent justification and sibling justification for a view, it is important to understand what order of precedence is used. For a view that has a sibling, any sibling justification overrides any parent justification. For a view that has no sibling (a view that is the first child of its parent), the parent justification is used and any sibling justification is ignored.

Caution:

If you use the sibling popup to change sibling justification, NTK 1.6 will change the parent justification to match. You'll then have to go back and reset the parent justification.
