What is the exact meaning of match_parent?
I just want to check my understanding is right. In android studio, layout attributes there are layout_width, layout_height. I know both of them as Widget / Layout 's width and height. and we can assign match_parent there. According to my understanding, match_parent always means the widget's height/width is same as the Activity's.
Is my understanding correct??

Match parent means. The widget you're assigning let's suppose height then it'll require the same height as the parent widget /layout
For example if i give 420dp height to my linearlayout and then inside it i provide an imagview as match parent then it's gonna have the same height as linear layout

match_parent is a constant value for views to stretch according to their parents or.
let's say there is a RelativeLayout in your layout XML, whatever widget (View) you put in your root view would stretch according to the parent (which is root view or RelativeLayout in our case).
