I am creating custom keyboard in Android. Keyboard view will be in frame layout. And I want to place this frame layout in bottom in the linear layout. Please give some idea for this.
<androidx.appcompat.widget.LinearLayoutCompat xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Testing"/>
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Testing 2"/>
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Testing 3"/>
<FrameLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:gravity="bottom|end"
android:layout_gravity="bottom">
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Custom Keyboard"/>
</FrameLayout>
</androidx.appcompat.widget.LinearLayoutCompat>
The easiest way is to put a View with the attribute android:layout_weight = "1" between the last TextView and the FrameLayout
...
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Testing 3"/>
<View
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1" />
<FrameLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:gravity="bottom|end"
android:layout_gravity="bottom">
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Custom Keyboard"/>
</FrameLayout>
...
Anyway, in this case I suggest using Relative Layout or, better, Constraint Layout
you can try Constraint Layout for your view as:
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fillViewport="true">
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/txt_1"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="SomeText 1"
android:layout_margin="5dp"
android:textColor="#android:color/black"
android:textSize="18sp"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/txt_2"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="SomeText 2"
android:layout_margin="5dp"
android:textColor="#android:color/black"
android:textSize="18sp"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#id/txt_1"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/txt_3"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="SomeText 3"
android:layout_margin="5dp"
android:textColor="#android:color/black"
android:textSize="18sp"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#id/txt_2"/>
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_margin="5dp"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#+id/txt_3"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent">
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="keyboard"/>
</FrameLayout>
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
</ScrollView>
u can use the parent as linear layout or scroll view. just replace with scroll view.

I have a sample view, where on the top is logo + header divider + some description, and from the bottom starts: Button + some checkboxes, please see image below:
It looks good on current devices, but on old phones, when screen is small (5 inches for example) - elements overlap:
View looks like below:

How should I set constraint between this two parts of the view, so they wont overlap on small screen? Add marginTop to the bottom section?
I found an answer, will post below, maybe it helps someone in the future:
I copied all elements from Bottom section inside ScrollView:
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#+id/header"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
android:fillViewport="true" >
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp" >
<!-- all LinearLayout's from bottom section -->
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
</ScrollView>

Android Studio renders it in this way:
And this is what I want to have in my Dialog.
BUT:
On physical device and on emulator it looks different than in Android Studio:
My question is: how to place "Filter" title on the left, and make the location EditText matching the parent (in the working app)?
What everybody else said is correct, keeping your layout flat is good for both performance and for these situations where you want to quickly figure out why isn't the layout being laid out the way you wanted it ;)
Try this :
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout 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="match_parent"
android:paddingHorizontal="15dp"
android:paddingVertical="10dp">
<TextView
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="start"
android:text="Filter"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="#id/bt_reset"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toStartOf="#id/bt_reset"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="#id/bt_reset" />
<com.google.android.material.button.MaterialButton
android:id="#+id/bt_reset"
style="#style/Widget.MaterialComponents.Button.OutlinedButton"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="RESET FILTERS"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tv_distance_title"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Distance range"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="#id/tv_distance_result"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="#id/tv_distance_result" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tv_distance_result"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="15dp"
android:background="#ddd"
android:gravity="center"
android:paddingHorizontal="18dp"
android:paddingVertical="3dp"
android:text="0 km - 500km"
android:textColor="#333"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#id/bt_reset" />
<com.google.android.material.slider.RangeSlider
android:id="#+id/slider_distance"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:stepSize="1.0"
app:labelBehavior="gone"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#id/tv_distance_result" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tv_location_title"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Location"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#id/slider_distance" />
<EditText
android:id="#+id/et_location"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="test"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#id/tv_location_title" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/bt_cancel"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
android:layout_marginEnd="20dp"
android:backgroundTint="#ccc"
android:text="CANCEL"
android:textColor="#color/colorBlack"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toStartOf="#id/bt_save"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#id/et_location" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/bt_save"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
android:layout_marginEnd="20dp"
android:text="save"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#id/et_location" />
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
I changed inner ConstraintLayouts into LinearLayouts and used weights. I also used this trick to fill space between e.g. "Filter" title and "reset filters" button.
There was also an issue with ll_location LinearLayout - it didn't match the parent.
I replaced:
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/ll_location"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#id/ll_distance_ext"
android:orientation="vertical">
<!-- content -->
</LinearLayout>
into:
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/ll_location"
android:layout_width="0dp"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#id/ll_distance_ext"
android:orientation="vertical">
<!-- content -->
</LinearLayout>
And then it worked.
The reason why I don't want to use flat layout (why I use nested layouts) is that IMHO the flat layout makes the code more difficult to maintain.
When you have Views splited into groups you can easily replace them, no matter how many View there are in a group.

Problem 1:
When i set the second cardview height to match_parent then it takes the full screen instead of the left screen at the bottom. It means it will override the first cardview also and reach to the top of parent/screen. So in this case why the set constraint toptobottomof is not working and how can i make it work? As far as i know toptobottomof makes sure that your second view will always remain below of first view which in this case is not working.
Problem 2:
If i keep my layout as it is then the problem is the LineChart is not expanding at all. It is compressing the whole chart height into the wrap content height. It is not behaving like it needs more space as this is what wrap_content attribute is made for instead it is restricting the chart itself to that available height and its not expanding the cardview height at all.
Please help me with these issues.
Change height to 0dp of android.support.v7.widget.CardView , width to 0dp
and use app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
This will make the height fill to the parent
Add these
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
Example
<androidx.cardview.widget.CardView
android:id="#+id/card_topplayer"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_margin="#dimen/_5sdp"
android:elevation="#dimen/_8sdp"
app:cardCornerRadius="#dimen/_10sdp"
app:cardPreventCornerOverlap="false"
app:cardUseCompatPadding="true"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#+id/win_card">
Update
To implement scrollview use fillviewport = true
<android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
android:fillViewport = "true"
android:layout_height="0dp">
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
And Remove this app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent" from second cardview like this
<android.support.v7.widget.CardView
android:id="#+id/card_topplayer"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="#dimen/_5sdp"
android:elevation="#dimen/_8sdp"
app:cardCornerRadius="#dimen/_10sdp"
app:cardPreventCornerOverlap="false"
app:cardUseCompatPadding="true"

I want don't want use nested LinearLayout inside ConstraintLayout
Also in above layout my NestedScrollView is not scrolling
I want to create this type of screen using ConstraintLayout
My expected OUTPUT
I have tried to set Guideline but it didn't work for me, because i don't know how to use Guideline in above layout
Can anybody help me create this screen only using ConstraintLayout
If need more information please do let me know. Thanks in advance. Your efforts will be appreciated.

Let me know if there's any query in comments. For your fixed bottombar TextView, now you can change height percent to whatever you want to change it's height dynamically.
You can use below code for bottom View which remove your Nested LinearLayout :
<TextView
android:id="#+id/bottomView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="Fixed Bottombar"
android:textColor="#ff00"
android:background="#00ff00"
android:padding="15dp"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
android:textStyle="bold" />
I have a ScrollView contains a ConstraintLayout. Inside the ConstraintLayout, I put many views with an attribute layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf to make a relation between the view and the view top of it, and I used layout_marginTop to put spaces between the views.
In my design, I have a Button that should be in the bottom of the layout and it cannot happen with the layout_marginTop because it should have a relation with the bottom of the ConstraintLayout.
Here's my code:
<ScrollView 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="match_parent">
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:paddingTop="10dp"
android:paddingBottom="10dp">

android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:layout_margin="120dp"
android:text="Logo"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />

android:layout_marginRight="28dp"
android:gravity="center"
android:hint="User name"
android:textColor="#bebebe"
android:textCursorDrawable="#null"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#id/logo" />

android:layout_width="match_parent"

android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="50dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="28dp"
android:layout_marginTop="17dp"
android:layout_marginRight="28dp"
android:text="Login"
android:textAllCaps="false"
android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#id/save_pw" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/btn2"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="50dp"
android:text="Sign up"
android:textAllCaps="false"
android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#id/btn" />
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>
</ScrollView>
Replace ScrollView with NestedScrollView & also add android:fillViewport="true" like this
<androidx.core.widget.NestedScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fillViewport="true">
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
// rest of code
<Button
android:id="#+id/btn2"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="50dp"
android:text="Sign up"
android:textAllCaps="false"
android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
app:layout_constraintVertical_bias="1"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#id/btn"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"/>
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
</androidx.core.widget.NestedScrollView>
Just set this property to your button:
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
Then add this to your last view this property:
app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="#+id/button"
Also, add to your last view:
android:layout_marginBottom="height_of_button"
However, if you are adding a lot of views it would be better to populate them inside a RecyclerView using an Adapter. Decide what you want to do. Also, tell me if I understood your question correctly, it was a bit confusing.
I found one solution to keep the button at the bottom, doesn't matter is your text is dynamic, read about app:layout_constraintVertical_bias https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/constraintlayout/widget/ConstraintLayout#Bias
