Problem placing TextView on ImageView using ConstraintLayout - android

I am using Constraintlayout and I want to place my Textview on my Imageview, it is supposed to look like this after I'm done: https://i.stack.imgur.com/mYAws.png but each time I add constraints to the texts(Vertically and horizontally), the texts disorganizes and goes totally from how I want it to be,
Sometimes even shifting my images. I have tried severally to adjust it well to no avail
My layout.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

</androidx.core.widget.NestedScrollView>


The answer is pretty straightforward. First you should delete this lines from both text views.
tools:layout_editor_absoluteX="254dp"
tools:layout_editor_absoluteY="415dp"
Then all you need to do is add constraints like this. Below are constraints for your image
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
And the constraints for your text view would be like this.
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="#+id/image_view"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="#+id/image_view"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="#+id/image_view"
Of course you can add different constraints for the image because i do not know how do you want to position the image view in the app. But if you want a text view to be inside the image like in the link you sent then the constraints for the text view will be always like this.


It's all about tools:layout_editor_absoluteX and tools:layout_editor_absoluteY for yours textView3 and textView4. Also i think you do not know for what namespace tools exist.


Check the example below; it shows you what constraints can be used to get in the direction of your layout goals.

Align textviews in left and right side of a linear layout?

I am new to android so you are most welcome for code review.

Try to change your layout like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="194dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="8dp"
android:scaleType="centerCrop"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="#+id/textAppearanceHeadline6"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintHorizontal_bias="1.0"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
tools:srcCompat="#drawable/faye" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textAppearanceHeadline6"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="8dp"
android:text="Faye"
android:textColor="#android:color/black"
android:textSize="16sp"
android:textStyle="bold"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="#+id/imageView"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#+id/imageView" />
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/textAppearanceBody1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="8dp"
android:orientation="horizontal"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="#+id/textAppearanceHeadline6"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#+id/textAppearanceHeadline6">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView2"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:gravity="center|start"
android:text="Age : 7"/>
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Hobbies: Sunbathing"
android:gravity="center"
android:textColor="#5A5656" />
</LinearLayout>
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>

Use it like this
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView2"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
android:weight="1"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Age : 7"/>
<TextView
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
android:text="Hobbies: Sunbathing"
android:textColor="#5A5656" />
weight here will allow the first textview to take all the space and will leave the required space for the hobby textview.
Use it as per your requirement.

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 ?

As I understand the question you want to change top part based on "textView4"'s text size changed, If text is small then above part will not stay 25% in my answer. Let me know if your requirement is different, I will update it.

About the constraint layout height

The below picture is the output I wanted to make:
I have already gone through
How to set a view's height match parent in ConstraintLayout?
and
https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/constraint/ConstraintLayout
What I have done is I have made a constrain layout as the main parent layout and inside that, I had mad a relative layout with the circle as background and Image on top.
And also the rectangular top curved corners one is in the background of a constraint layout. Now what I am not getting is the height of this constraint layout the bottom of this should touch the bottom of the screen but as soon as I declare the height as match parent it occupies the whole screen from top to bottom. Below is my XML code.

This is what I get the output from the above code
How can I make it as the above image?

As mentioned in the comment, you do not need to setup parent Layouts inside ConstraintLayout as ConstraintLayout is pretty powerful and can easily achieve what you want. What you are lacking is good use of constraints, and you are trying to compensate that by using RelativeLayout. Having a ConstraintLayout inside a ConstraintLayout is an overkill.
I have not created the BottomSheet for you ResetPassword, but that is something you can work on yourself as its simply an arrangement of elements or bringing in a customView. My point is to simply use one ConstraintLayout as the parent that will manage all the ViewGroups, and refrain from using any other Layouts inside it.

Unable to make a ScrollView that contains other layouts and widgets

I am simply trying to make a scrollable layout with no luck...
I have no idea why it isn't working, it seems to be exactly as I read online.
The problem here is that the bottom of the included layout is cut of to fit exactly the screen size.
this is my layout xml:
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

Do you have any suggestion of what should i do? I also plan to add many more layouts to this main layout and I need it to scroll and show everything flawlessly.
Thank you a lot!

Constraint Layout - Grouping together layouts in chains

I want to create a chain in constraint layout that is spread but keeping the title and the text together, without a gap between them.
I am trying to achieve the same view, but without the linear layout and instead a flat constraint 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="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"

app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />

Could you please advise me if this is possible and if so, how to do it?

If I understand correctly, you want to create the layout as per the screenshot but without using a LinearLayout. If that is the case, then this should be possible if you ignore the fact that there are view pairs when you create the vertical chains. In other words, think about the positioning of textView1, textView3 and Button first, and then worry about the positioning of textView2 and textView4.
It's a bit tricky to explain, so I have created a simple layout that should do what you need. In order to create this layout, I constrained textView1 to the imageView, and textView3 to textView1. Then I created vertical chains between textView3 and button. Finally, I constrained textView2 to textView1 and textView4 to textView3. (I assumed that you wanted textView1 directly below the image)
<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">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/image"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="200dp"
android:background="#color/colorPrimary" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/text1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#+id/image"
tools:text="text1" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/text2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#+id/text1"
tools:text="text2" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/text3"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="#+id/button"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#+id/text1"
tools:text="text3" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/text4"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#+id/text3"
tools:text="text4" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/button"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#+id/text3"
tools:text="More" />
This should give you something like:
