Is there a possibility (in ConstraintLayout
) to let a view grow only as long as there is space for another view at his right?
The use case is to have a
yes you can by using match_constraint (0dp) which equal to match_parent for other layout, so by using match_constraint we set weight for first view which will occupies all available space also add
app:layout_constraintWidth_default="wrap"
to apply default width behavior as wrap_content
here is code with change
got some explanation from site
Better view dimension controls
The new available behaviors when a dimension is set to 0dp (MATCH_CONSTRAINT). As before, both endpoints (left/right or top/bottom) need to be connected to targets.
layout_constraintWidth_default = spread (default, similar to the previous behavior) layout_constraintWidth_default = wrap layout_constraintHeight_default = spread layout_constraintHeight_default = wrap
Wrap provides a significant new behaviour, with the widget resizing as if wrap_content was used, but limited by the connected constraints. A widget will thus not grow beyond the endpoints.
