The layout for my Fragment is a ConstraintLayout with both width and height set to match_parent.
Inside it is another ConstraintLayout used to make a fixed dimension ratio area.
It works perfectly in ConstraintLayout-2.0.0-alpha3, but after I change to alpha4, the outer ConstrainLayout doesn't match parent. It is around 70% original size aligning top-left, I don't know why.
The fragment is attached to a FrameLayout, the size of the FrameLayout is right.
Here is my layout.

I am very new in Android development I have designed the xml below
I started with creating a ConstraintView inside of that I created a ConstraintView with some fixed height and ScrollView.
I am facing problem to set the height of Scrollview. How to set ScrollView should start just below to ConstraintView
<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="match_parent"
tools:context=".activity.MainActivity">
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
android:id="#+id/CL1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="260dp"
android:background="#color/color_primary"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="#+id/scrollView3"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintHorizontal_bias="0.0"
app:layout_constraintVertical_bias="0.0">
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
<ScrollView
android:id="#+id/scrollView3"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="550dp"
android:background="#color/color_primary_dark"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintHorizontal_bias="0.0"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
android:fillViewport="true">
<LinearLayout

android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center"
android:orientation="vertical">
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
I am not sure what is your end layout goal here, but you can simply set a top to bottom constraint on your ScrollView like you have done on your RecyclerView. So just add the following in your ScrollView XML
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#+id/CL1"
So your XML becomes
<ScrollView
android:id="#+id/scrollView3"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="550dp"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#+id/CL1"
android:background="#color/color_primary_dark"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintHorizontal_bias="0.0"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
android:fillViewport="true">
I have a Recycler View in a Constraint Layout that shows data from a database. I want the max height to be 500dp, but the problem is that when it exceeds that size, it cuts a portion from the bottom of the view.
I don't know what would be the problem.
Here is the xml of the RecyclerView:
<?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="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:maxHeight="500dp"
tools:context=".histDialog">
<androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView
android:id="#+id/recyclerView"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#color/colorPrimary"
android:padding="3dp"
app:layout_constrainedHeight="true"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
The recyclerview appears in an activity styled as a dialog.
I've tried every possible thing i could think of but i can't get it to work.
I found the solution. This is the XML now:
<?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="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
tools:context=".histDialog">
<androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView
android:id="#+id/recyclerView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:background="#color/colorPrimary"
android:clipToPadding="true"
android:padding="3dp"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintHeight_default="wrap"
app:layout_constraintHeight_max="500dp"
app:layout_constraintHeight_min="50dp"/>
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
The important part is:
android:layout_height="0dp"
app:layout_constraintHeight_default="wrap"
app:layout_constraintHeight_max="500dp"
app:layout_constraintHeight_min="50dp"
for the RecyclerView. Took me long enough to realise it was this simple. Hope this can help others too.
I faced with the following problem: I need to make a fragment, which height would be the same as height of the screen except bottom navigation view. Here's my layout:
<?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"
tools:context=".ui.main.MainActivity">
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/tabs_fragment"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#111111"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="#id/bottom_nav" />
<android.support.design.widget.BottomNavigationView
android:id="#+id/bottom_nav"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="#dimen/bottom_nav_height"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:menu="#menu/bottom_nav_menu" />
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>
I added android:background="#111111" to see, what is the real height of fragment. Probably I thought that app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="#id/bottom_nav" can help me, but unfortunately it didn't solve my problem. So, how can I deal with it?
You need to set the layout_height of the FrameLayout to 0dp if you want the height to fit your constraints.
<?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"
tools:context=".ui.main.MainActivity">
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/tabs_fragment"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:background="#111111"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="#id/bottom_nav"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent" />
<android.support.design.widget.BottomNavigationView
android:id="#+id/bottom_nav"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="#dimen/bottom_nav_height"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:menu="#menu/bottom_nav_menu" />
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>
I am trying to use constraint layout as below. But the aspect ratio is not respected in the actual layout. Instead, the height is actually wrapping the content inside
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="#+id/content"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_width="match_parent">
<!-- some content inside -->
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>
I then think it might be because I didn't set width="0dp" (let constraint decide the width). So I tried another way like below. But then the width becomes zero.
What is the correct way of doing it?
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="#+id/content"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_width="0dp"
app:layout_constraintStart_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent">
<!-- some content inside -->
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>
EDIT: working solution after inspired by Anddenver 's answer (with modification):
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
<FrameLayout
android:background="#android:color/holo_green_dark"
android:layout_width="0dp"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
app:layout_constraintDimensionRatio="2:1">
</FrameLayout>
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>
Further Edit:
It seems I need to wrap one more layer of constraint layout for my inner contents .... :
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
<FrameLayout
android:background="#android:color/holo_green_dark"
android:layout_width="0dp"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
app:layout_constraintDimensionRatio="2:1">
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<actual contents here..../>
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>
</FrameLayout>
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>
Or, just remove the FrameLayout, and wrap ConstraintLayout inside a ConstraintLayout:
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout
android:background="#android:color/holo_green_dark"
android:layout_width="0dp"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
app:layout_constraintDimensionRatio="2:1">
contents here...
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>
You need inner view for that, for example:
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<FrameLayout
android:background="#color/colorPrimary"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
app:layout_constraintDimensionRatio="1:1">
<YOUR CONTENT>
</FrameLayout>
For a ListView, you'd need to inflate a custom list_item.xml
and this should be H,2:1, to constrain the height to a 2:1 aspect ratio.
The default android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1 is just a TextView:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TextView
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#android:id/text1"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_width="0dp"
app:layout_constraintDimensionRatio="H,2:1"
...
/>
see DimensionConstraints.
I have two layouts inside a constraint layout.
One is reserved for the actual screens, and the other is reserved for the bottom toolbar
the problem is the actual screen is flowing under the toolbar and i want them to be next to each other.
What do I need to change in this layout ?
<?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:id="#+id/mainScreen"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/mainFrame"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="#+id/bottom_navigation"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
tools:background="#ff00ff00" />
<android.support.design.widget.BottomNavigationView
android:id="#+id/bottom_navigation"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#color/green"
app:itemIconTint="#color/colorPrimary"
app:itemTextColor="#color/colorPrimaryDark"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
app:menu="#menu/bottom_navigation_menu" />
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>
You forget to add where should be place navigation bottom view, try this.
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/mainFrame"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="#+id/bottom_navigation"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
tools:background="#ff00ff00" />
<android.support.design.widget.BottomNavigationView
android:id="#+id/bottom_navigation"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#color/green"
app:itemIconTint="#color/colorPrimary"
app:itemTextColor="#color/colorPrimaryDark"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#+id/mainFrame"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
app:menu="#menu/bottom_navigation_menu" />
I realise this is a bit old and probably solved, but thought it was worth answering for those who stumble across it...
The problem here is that the FrameLayout is set to wrap_parent which means it will only grow as large as it needs to in order to display its content.
You can use a contraint weight to have it grow as large as it can, something like this:
<?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:id="#+id/mainScreen"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/mainFrame"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
app:layout_constraintVertical_weight="1"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="#+id/bottom_navigation"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
tools:background="#ff00ff00" />
<android.support.design.widget.BottomNavigationView
android:id="#+id/bottom_navigation"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#color/steel"
app:itemIconTint="#color/colorPrimary"
app:itemTextColor="#color/colorPrimaryDark"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#+id/mainFrame"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
app:menu="#menu/menu_main_drawer" />
with the important part being android:layout_height="0dp" and app:layout_constraintVertical_weight="1", and also adding the suggestion posted by Hemant.
All you need to do is set the height of the frame layout to 0dp -> Constraint layout takes it at match_constraint.
