Constraint Layout - Placing a Viewpager above another view - android

I am trying to place a Viewpager above another view in constraint layout, however the Viewpager extends all the way to the bottom of parent unless I use a set height such as "150dp". How would I make it so that it only extends until it reaches the top of the "Create a new account" Layout?
Things I have tried:
-Making height of viewpager a set amount of dp (150dp), it works but I prefer to make it match multiple device heights
-Adding constraints Constraint Bottom of Viewpager to top of Create Account Layout, doesn't work
Here is my code for the layout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ScrollView
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:fillViewport="true">
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:focusable="true"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/appname"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:text="MyApp"
android:textColor="#color/colorBlackFont"
android:textSize="25sp"
android:textStyle="bold"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintHorizontal_bias="0.5"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintVertical_bias="0.2"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textview_betterexperience"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginStart="8dp"
android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
android:layout_marginEnd="8dp"
android:text=""
android:textStyle="bold"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#+id/appname"/>

android:layout_marginTop="48dp"
android:layout_marginEnd="8dp"
android:hint="Username"
android:textSize="14dp"
android:textCursorDrawable="#drawable/cursor_color"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintHorizontal_bias="0.5"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#id/textview_betterexperience"
app:layout_constraintWidth_percent=".75"/>
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintVertical_bias="1">
<View
android:id="#+id/divider_bottom"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="1dp"
android:background="#color/dividerColor"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textview_newaccount"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginStart="8dp"
android:layout_marginEnd="8dp"
android:text="Create a new account"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:textStyle="bold" />
</RelativeLayout>
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>
</ScrollView>
The end result I want it to look like would be like this:

app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="#id/unnamed_relativeLayout"
app:layout_constrainedHeight="true" (or set layout_height to 0dp)
The preview might be weirded out but will display once inflated with content in app

Add an id to your Relative layout
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/relativeLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintVertical_bias="1">
Then in your viewpager add
app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="#id/relativeLayout"
and set android:layout_height="0dp" so it matches the constraints.

You are missing the bottom constraint for view pager . Use below
app:
layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="#id/relativeLayoutId"

Item height in the mvxcrecyclerview

I have a question about the items height in a recyclerview, here is my screen
Is it possible to have the same height for each rows like that for example:
So the first one has to have the same height of the second and the third the same as the 4th one.
Currently I used wrap-content that's why the height is changing regarding the content of the cardview but I would like to use smt dynamic if it possible and not put a fixed height.
Here is my code
<MvvmCross.DroidX.RecyclerView.MvxRecyclerView
android:id="#+id/recyclerViewSalary"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"

Anyone has an idea ? Thanks

Android: Show button just below to the recylerview but always on the screen

On the screen, I want to show RecyclerView which start from the top and at the end of the RecyclerView, there is a button.
When RecyclerView is not occupying the entire screen then the Button will sit just below the RecyclerView.
When RecylerView is scrollable then in this case button will sit on the bottom of the screen.
I tried this code. But the problem here, RecyclerView sits in the centre. In my case, it will always start from the top(after the action bar).
Following code I tried:

Your RecyclerView is centering between two other layouts. Add
app:layout_constraintVertical_bias="0.0"
to the XML for the RecyclerView to move it to the top. You can look up how bias works in the ConstraintLayout documentation.
I think you can achieve what you want with a guideline. The steps would be the following:
Create an horizontal guideline that sits at the 90% of the screen, meaning that it will be really close to the bottom, on the 10% left is where your button will be when the recycler view becomes scrollable.
Set the bottom constraint of the recycler view to match the top of the guideline and the top of the recycler view to the top of the screen. This will cause that the recycler view appears on the half of your screen.
Set the vertical bias of your recycler view to 0.0, this will stick the recycler view to the top.
Set the top constraint of the button to match the bottom of the recycler view, this will cause that it will stick to the bottom of the recycler view, but since the recycler view (thanks to the guideline) will only grow to 90% of the screen, the button will sit at the bottom of the screen as you want.
It's important to add the following attribute to the recycler view:
app:layout_constrainedHeight="true"
The layout related to the button and recycler view should look something like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout

Android Studio - Why does my recycler-view get stuck without letting me scrolling to its bottom?

Description
I am using a recycler view that has more items inside than screen´s height, so to see them we should scroll down. The problem is that I can only scroll some dps down (like 10 or 20 dps).
What do I need?
I need to scroll to it´s bottom in order to see all recycler´s views.
My design is private so I am going to show you a graphic:
The blue box is my recycler view. It has ten views loaded, but we can only see two and a half. I can slide so that I can see "Daddy Yankee" full name, but not more than that.

What can I do to slide my recycler to the bottom to be able to see all the other views?
Add this constraint on your id/recycler_names:
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
and then set layout_height to 0dp (match constraint).

Constraint layout text with button in the bottom

I am doing a constraint layout for screen. And in some small screens is not showing correctly, because the button is over the text.
In the other devices with a bigger screen is showing correctly.
And i don't know how i can solve it.
Thanks

And also i attach a photo of the problem. Where you can see how the button is over the text, and the user can't read the text.
You should add layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf & layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf.
layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf —> Align the bottom of the desired view
to the top of another.
layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf —> Align the top of the desired view to
the bottom of another.
<TextView
android:id="#+id/access_code_description"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf"#+id/btn_go_to_register"
android:layout_marginBottom="20dp" //Remove this line
And
<Button
android:id="#+id/btn_go_to_register"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#+id/access_code_description"
FYI
It will be good approach if you use ScrollView ( Where child is TextView).
Set ScrollView as parent layout and ConstraintLayout in it.

Now when I first start my app the individual cardview's width don't match to the parent and kind of behave like their width is wrap content. After a few seconds the width of all the cardviews adjusts itself to match the parent.
ConstraintLayout does not actually support match_parent for its children. If you try to use match_parent, sometimes it will work, and sometimes it will not. Android Studio is also sort of weird about match_parent, and sometimes will allow it and sometimes will automatically replace it with a hardcoded value that matches the last emulator you ran. Regardless, do not use match_parent for children of a ConstraintLayout.
Instead of android:layout_width="match_parent", use this:
android:layout_width="0dp"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
Instead of android:layout_height="match_parent", use this:
android:layout_height="0dp"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
When I make these changes to your RecyclerView tag, the problem goes away.
