/**
- * Per-child layout information associated with RelativeLayout.
+ * Specifies how a view is positioned within a {@link RelativeLayout}.
+ * The relative layout containing the view uses the value of these layout parameters to
+ * determine where to position the view on the screen. If the view is not contained
+ * within a relative layout, these attributes are ignored.
+ *
+ * See the
+ * Relative Layout guide for example code demonstrating how to use relative layout’s
+ * layout parameters in a layout XML.
+ *
+ * To learn more about layout parameters and how they differ from typical view attributes,
+ * see the
+ * Layouts guide.
