Is deprecated word the only difference between fill_parent and match_parent?

As you said they are exact the same. As Roman Guy said, they have changed the name because fill_parent was confusing for developers. As matter of the fact fill_parent does not fill the remaining space (for that you use the weight attribute) but it takes as much space as its layout parent.

That's why the new name is match_parent.

According to Romain Guy in this video, these words mark the same behaviour. But many developers misunderstood what fill_parent meant, hence they came up with an alias.

I have developed in Android long enough to also realize that there seems to be no difference except when you want to run on an older API. I would use fill_parent because I make all of my apps with minimum API 7. Also, on a side note, since Android is forward compatible this is the way to go.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
