和前面View.java中的onLayout实现相比，唯一的差别就是ViewGroup中多了关键字abstract的修饰，也就是说ViewGroup类只能用来被继承，无法实例化，并且其子类必须重载onLayout函数，而重载onLayout的目的就是安排其children在父视图的具体位置。重载onLayout通常做法就是起一个for循环调用每一个子视图的layout(l, t, r, b)函数，传入不同的参数l, t, r, b来确定每个子视图在父视图中的显示位置。
      那layout(l, t, r, b)中的4个参数l, t, r, b如何来确定呢？联想到之前的measure过程，measure过程的最终结果就是确定了每个视图的mMeasuredWidth和mMeasuredHeight，这两个参数可以简单理解为视图期望在屏幕上显示的宽和高，而这两个参数为layout过程提供了一个很重要的依据（但不是必须的），为了说明这个过程，我们来看下LinearLayout的layout过程：

void layoutVertical() {……for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {final View child = getVirtualChildAt(i);if (child == null) {childTop += measureNullChild(i);} else if (child.getVisibility() != GONE) {final int childWidth = child.getMeasuredWidth();final int childHeight = child.getMeasuredHeight();……setChildFrame(child, childLeft, childTop + getLocationOffset(child),childWidth, childHeight);childTop += childHeight + lp.bottomMargin + getNextLocationOffset(child);i += getChildrenSkipCount(child, i);}}}
private void setChildFrame(View child, int left, int top, int width, int height) {        child.layout(left, top, left + width, top + height);}

从setChildFrame可以看到LinearLayout中的子视图的右边界等于left + width，下边界等于top+height，也就是说在LinearLayout中其子视图显示的宽和高由measure过程来决定的，因此measure过程的意义就是为layout过程提供视图显示范围的参考值。

public final int getMeasuredWidth() {return mMeasuredWidth & MEASURED_SIZE_MASK;}
public final int getWidth() {return mRight - mLeft;}

这也解释了为什么有些情况下getWidth()和getMeasuredWidth()以及getHeight()和getMeasuredHeight()会得到不同的值。
