Why are nested weights bad for performance? Alternatives?

by

Nested weights are bad for performance because:

Layout weights require a widget to be measured twice. When a
LinearLayout with non-zero weights is nested inside another
LinearLayout with non-zero weights, then the number of measurements
increase exponentially.

It’s better to use RelativeLayouts and adjust your view according to the places of other views without using specific dpi values.
