How to align TextView in two lines between images in ConstraintLayout - android

I'm doing some design in constraintlayout that is give me a pain. I have an image at the left, two text in a vertical orientation that is align at the end of this image and I have other constraints at right with an image and text.
If I type a long text in the two text that i have in a vertical orientation the text cover the constraint that I have at right of my view. That I want to do is if this text is long can't cover this constraint, have to expand to other line.
This is my code:
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout

android:layout_height="match_parent">

I recommend you use only one parent view and read about Guideline view, Constraints Chains and Barriers. So a possible solution could be the next:
And the code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.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="wrap_content"
android:padding="16dp">
<!-- In the parent constraint group add your custom background -->
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.Guideline
android:id="#+id/guideline_80_percent"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical"
app:layout_constraintGuide_percent="0.85" />
<androidx.appcompat.widget.AppCompatImageView
android:id="#+id/image_slider"
android:layout_width="40dp"
android:layout_height="40dp"
android:src="#drawable/ic_launcher_background"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/txt_title_animation_native_cart"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginStart="8dp"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="#id/guideline_80_percent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toEndOf="#id/image_slider"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="#id/image_slider"
tools:text="Title" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/txt_subtitle_animation_native_cart"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
android:ellipsize="end"
android:maxLines="2"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="#id/image_slider"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="#id/txt_title_animation_native_cart"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="#id/txt_title_animation_native_cart"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#id/txt_title_animation_native_cart"
tools:text="Subtitle asfda sdfowei oiwue rpoweiru oiwue twoeiu t oiweu t adfadf adflkjadfkj adlkjadflk" />
<androidx.appcompat.widget.AppCompatImageView
android:id="#+id/image_undo"
android:layout_width="16dp"

app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="#id/text_undo"

app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintVertical_chainStyle="packed" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/text_undo"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="#id/image_undo"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="#id/image_undo"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#id/image_undo"
tools:text="Ree" />
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>


First, you don't need two nested constraint layouts, one is enough.
Then just set the text with endToStartoOf image_undo and set the width to 0dp instead of wrap_content


Just do this:
<TextView
android:id="#+id/txt_subtitle_animation_native_cart"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="4dp"
android:layout_marginEnd="4dp"
android:maxLines="2"
android:textColor="#color/app_grey_medium"
android:textSize="12sp"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="#+id/txt_title_animation_native_cart"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#+id/txt_title_animation_native_cart"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toStartOf="#+id/constraint_undo_button"
tools:text="Subtitle asfda sdfowei oiwue rpoweiru oiwue twoeiu t oiweu t" />

Evenly spread views inside a cardview Horizontaly

</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
I have tried chain styles but no winning. Is it possible to achieve what I want to achieve using only one ConstraintLayout?

The main problem here is with your xml structure of the 3 views which are direct children of the CardView instead of a ConstraintLayout so any constraints attributes you apply there cannot work because the direct parent is the CardView.
Therefore your structure should look like this:
<androidx.cardview.widget.CardView>
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
<TextView android:id="#+id/years_title"/>
<TextView android:id="#+id/coffees_title" />
<TextView android:id="#+id/bugs_title"/>
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
</androidx.cardview.widget.CardView>
Now to evenly spread the above 3 views in the ConstraintLayout horizontally you have to apply for each TextView the attribute app:layout_constraintHorizontal_weight="1", the android:layout_width="0dp" and link every TextView child with its neighbours eg. for the second TextView will be: app:layout_constraintStart_toEndOf="#+id/years_title" , app:layout_constraintEnd_toStartOf="#+id/bugs_title".
So your new structure of the CardView should look like the below:
<androidx.cardview.widget.CardView
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#id/job_title"
app:layout_constraintStart_toEndOf="#id/profile_image"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent">
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#android:color/white">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/years_title"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center"
android:background="#android:color/holo_blue_dark"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toStartOf="#+id/coffees_title"
app:layout_constraintHorizontal_weight="1"
tools:text="Years" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/coffees_title"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center"
android:background="#android:color/holo_orange_dark"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toEndOf="#+id/years_title"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toStartOf="#+id/bugs_title"
app:layout_constraintHorizontal_weight="1"
tools:text="Coffees" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/bugs_title"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center"
android:background="#android:color/holo_green_dark"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toEndOf="#+id/coffees_title"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintHorizontal_weight="1"
tools:text="Bugs" />
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
</androidx.cardview.widget.CardView>
Result:
Or in case you want the CardView to wrap to its content it should look like this:
<androidx.cardview.widget.CardView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#id/job_title"
app:layout_constraintStart_toEndOf="#id/profile_image">
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">

android:id="#+id/years_title"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center"
android:background="#android:color/holo_blue_dark"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toStartOf="#+id/coffees_title"
app:layout_constraintHorizontal_weight="1"
tools:text="Years" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/coffees_title"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center"
android:background="#android:color/holo_orange_dark"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toEndOf="#+id/years_title"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toStartOf="#+id/bugs_title"
app:layout_constraintHorizontal_weight="1"
tools:text="Coffees" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/bugs_title"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center"
android:background="#android:color/holo_green_dark"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toEndOf="#+id/coffees_title"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintHorizontal_weight="1"
tools:text="Bugs" />
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
</androidx.cardview.widget.CardView>
Result:

Guideline does not shift based on change in Views dimensions inside barrier in ConstraintLayout

I have my root layout as ConstraintLayout in my activity. I have added one Guideline which is Percentage based and it is about 35 % from top. The Guideline divides the Layout in 2 section (35% top & 65% bottom). In top 25% section I have 2 TextViews. The textview text is dynamically changing. One Barrier is added in Layout which has my Guideline added in it. Top constraint of Image inside the below Section 65% is given to bottom of Barrier & bottom constraint of textview inside the 25% section is given to top of Barrier. When my Text inside above textview is increased, it is not shifting the Guideline & violating Barrier working. How it can be done ?

How to ensure views are well constraint even when they grow in context without pushing other views out of the layout

I am trying to achieve the below in my xml but currently when I my textView does not wrap the text as exepcted but instead pushes the the text down and the imageButton far.

From your description it's not clear what you wanted to do but here is the solution you can apply to make your view as a picture you uploaded.
Just apply height & width of midTextView to 0dp
Note: don't know what your idTextView will do it's not clear as per your layout structure.
<TextView
android:id="#+id/idTextView"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginEnd="30dp"
android:text="#string/id_text"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
tools:text="Get ID" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/midTextView"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:layout_marginEnd="30dp"
android:text="#string/mid_text"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toStartOf="#id/submitButton"
app:layout_constraintStart_toEndOf="#id/idTextView"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
/>

Constraint Layout to stretch to edge of the screen

here is the image of the pic i want without the space on the rightI have a nested constraint layout.
I am trying to use a drawable as a background for my constraint layout. The only problem is that it does not stretches to the edges of the screen. what I want is to have the drawable on the edge of the screen so that it can be a part of the edge of the screen.

as you can see I really don't want the space that is out there and need to just stick it to the right edge of the screen. How can I make sure that it is scalable in all the phones. I used padding but it goes off the screen and is not a recommended practice. What constraint should I add to fill my space on the right side of the screen with the drawable background.

How to layout 2 textviews in a custom compound constraint layout

I'm trying to give two Textviews the correct position in the Constraintlayout in my layout file. The problem is the textviews needs to be scalable using app: autoSizeTextType="uniform". To make them scale I also have to match_parent on the layout_width and layout_height. This makes the two textviews overlap. How can I accomplish the desired result?
Current XML file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<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="#color/colorPrimary"
android:gravity="center"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/title"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="1"
android:textColor="#4689C8"
android:textStyle="bold"
app:autoSizeTextType="uniform"
app:layout_constrainedHeight="true"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintVertical_bias="0.362" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/message"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="ABC"
android:textColor="#4689C8"
android:textStyle="bold"
app:autoSizeTextType="uniform"
app:layout_constrainedHeight="true"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent" />
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>
Actual result:
Both textviews scales, but overlaps, and are placed in the center of the constraintlayout.
The current state:
The expected result:
One textview centered in the middle. One textview aligned at the bottom. Both textviews scales with the constraintlayout.
Expected result: (3 different custom compounds in an activity)

you have to give top and bottom proper constraint
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout

android:layout_width="match_parent"

Textview size we have to add

Modify the TextView to have height and width of 0dp, this will match parent constraint view, add in a constraint for the views in relation to each other and that should give you as you asked for
<TextView
android:id="#+id/title"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="1"
android:textColor="#4689C8"
android:textStyle="bold"
app:autoSizeTextType="uniform"
app:layout_constrainedHeight="true"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="#id/message"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/message"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="ABC"
android:textColor="#4689C8"
android:textStyle="bold"
app:autoSizeTextType="uniform"
app:layout_constrainedHeight="true"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#id/title"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent" />
