title: Linear Layout and cardView
body: <p>I am new to android app development. I know this is a very basic question, but I was wondering what the benefit of having a <code>LinearLayout</code> is when creating a UI. I understand it helps organize its children horizontally or vertically, but does it have any other benefits while creating a UI?</p>
  <p>I was wondering this since I ran into some problems with padding while trying to design a UI using a card view without a <code>LinearLayout</code></p>
