android-constraintlayout

I'm facing a very strange bug with one of layout whose parent is ConstraintLayout. When ever a diaog is open the layout behind automatically start constracting and moving. Please refer attached gif for idea about the bug. Please check my code and see if i'm doing something wrong. Here is my layout. <android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:background="

I have a ConstraintLayout where its height is wrap_content . I want its height to be able to collapse or expanding, according to its Child's height. Simple and common enough, right? Now I have a layout which looks like this: (First of all, please ignore the abnormal super large margin at the bottom. As you can see, the margin is just 16dp but the preview renders a very large margin.) My problem is, if the big rectangle's visibility is set to gone , According to the documentation of ConstraintLayout , if I set its goneMarginTop to a certainValue, it will retain that margin even when its

I want to build a layout like this: Inside the constraint layout there is an Image View which acts like a banner, then there is a Card that is center aligned with the bottom edge of the banner and then there is another Image View that is center aligned with the top edge of the card. The problem I am facing is that the second Image View (GREEN one) when aligned with the card goes in the background instead of staying in the foreground. Here is the xml, <android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:fitsSystemWindows=

I position lots of items relative to a layout guide, and would like to position a new item nearly relative to this layout guide. I tried with a negative layout margin without success. Here is a blog posting that discusses negative margins in ConstraintLayout . Using Spaces for negative margins A view in a ConstraintLayout cannot have negative margins (it’s not supported). However, with an easy trick you can have similar functionality by inserting a Space (which is essentially an empty View) and setting its size to the margin you want. android:translationX="-10dp" android:translationY="-10dp"

I try to achieve a 16:9 aspect ratio on a view with the PercentRelativeLayout . So I have put this line in my build.gradle file: compile 'com.android.support:design:23.0.1' I use this layout: <android.support.percent.PercentRelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content"> <ImageView android:layout_width="match_parent" app:layout_aspectRatio="178%" android:scaleType="centerCrop"/> </android.support.percent.PercentRelativeLayout> Problems: Android

I am trying to create a CardView that has a ConstraintLayout to organize some TextView . Sometimes it'll display as intended, but sometimes, it'll add extra white space such as when a keyboard is closed and ruin the layout. I have a GIF below showing the CardView working and not working in the same span of time. A code snippet for the relevant CardView is below. I use wrap_content to try to keep the CardView at the size I want, but it still expands. <android.support.v7.widget.CardView android:id="@+id/cardView_game_cash" android:layout_width="0dp" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android
