View with minHeight in ConstraintLayout

Closed 4 years ago.
I have created layout like this one
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<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">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/top"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#color/gray"
android:gravity="center"
android:padding="10dp"
android:text="top"
android:textColor="#color/white"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/middle"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#color/green"
android:gravity="center"
android:minHeight="300dp"
android:padding="10dp"
android:text="middle"
android:textColor="#color/white"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="#id/bottom"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#id/top" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/bottom"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#color/gray"
android:gravity="center"
android:padding="10dp"
android:text="bottom"
android:textColor="#color/white"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent" />
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>
It does scroll on small screens as expected.
But on larger screens it leaves space below
How can I make layout match screen height, but still be scrollable on small screens?
Tried to set 'middle' height to 0dp, but this did not help.
Adding android:fillViewport="true" to ScrollView and set middle's height to 0dp solves the problem with space, but brings problem with scrolling - on small screens middle is shrinking, instead of scrolling.
Set the height of the middle TextView to 0dp (to match constraints) to fill the available space and add android:fillViewport="true" attribute to your ScrollView to stretch its content to fill the viewport.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<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:fillViewport="true">
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/top"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#color/gray"
android:gravity="center"
android:padding="10dp"
android:text="top"
android:textColor="#color/white"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/middle"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:background="#color/green"
android:gravity="center"
android:padding="10dp"
android:text="middle"
android:textColor="#color/white"
app:layout_constraintHeight_min="300dp"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="#id/bottom"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#id/top" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/bottom"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#color/gray"
android:gravity="center"
android:padding="10dp"
android:text="bottom"
android:textColor="#color/white"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent" />
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>
</ScrollView>
The solution is to use app:layout_constraintHeight_min instead of android:minHeight
So this layout is correct
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<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:fillViewport="true">
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/top"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#color/gray"
android:gravity="center"
android:padding="10dp"
android:text="top"
android:textColor="#color/white"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="#id/middle"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintVertical_chainStyle="spread_inside" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/middle"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:background="#color/green"
android:gravity="center"
android:padding="10dp"
android:text="middle"
android:textColor="#color/white"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="#id/bottom"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintHeight_min="300dp"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#id/top" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/bottom"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#color/gray"
android:gravity="center"
android:padding="10dp"
android:text="bottom"
android:textColor="#color/white"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#id/middle" />

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>
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
I have a Scrollview with a ConstraintLayout and I want to add some Imagebuttons. They should be scaled to fit the half width so I can put 2 Buttons in a row.
The whole thing must me scrollable because I want to add about 10 rows of buttons.
I tried many options like seen here ConstraintLayout: how to have a view be half the screen width and centered?

Thanks!
Try the following. I have changed the width of the ScrollView to match_parent and changed the width of the ImageViews to 0dp which will stretch out the images according to chain logic.

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" />
This is my layout.
I set max and min height on the linear layout but max height seems not to be working. In fact if TextView R.id.testo has a lot of text this won't be trimmed. This doesn't happen if I set fixed height. But I didn't want to set a fixed height in order to make it correctly resizable when for instance spilt screen mode is selected.

As your parent view is ConstraintLayout.
I have also implemented the max and min and for me
Replace these lines
android:maxHeight="400dp"
android:minHeight="400dp"
with
app:layout_constraintHeight_max="400dp"
app:layout_constraintHeight_min="400dp"
app:layout_constrainedHeight="true"
This code working fine. I hope it also works for you.
You have used for your LinearLayout within Constraint layout
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintHorizontal_bias="1.0"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
End_toEndOf set to parent
Start_toStartOf is set to parent
And thats the reason maxHeight is not working.
I'm trying to utilize a ConstraintLayout (version 1.0.2) to set the height of 2 side-by-side views to match the tallest one of them. This serves as a ViewHolder in for a RecyclerView, where each TextView gets an arbitrary length of text...
If I set each to wrap_content, the shorter one will shrink.
If I set both to 0dp (match_contraints), both end up 0 height.
Here's the setup:
<?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_marginLeft="2dp"
android:layout_marginRight="2dp"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/id1"
android:layout_width="60dp"
android:layout_height="0dp"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toStartOf="#+id/id2"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/id2"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="0dp"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toEndOf="#+id/id1"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"/>
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>
I suppose this is a bug, as "0dp" should act more like match_parent than actual 0 dp.
On iOS, by the way, the equivalent Auto Layout rules (of setting views' heights to match top and bottom of parent) produce the expected result.
Of course this is pretty simple using LinearLayout, but this layout plays part in a larger layout, and I'd like to trim the view hierarchy...
Answering, in case anyone is looking out for answer in future.
ConstraintLayout introduced Barrier in v1.1 to achieve one such functionality asked by the OP in the question
The above mentioned functionality can be achieved using below xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

android:layout_marginRight="2dp"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/id1"
android:layout_width="60dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="#+id/barrier"
app:layout_constraintVertical_bias="0.0"
android:text="#string/id1_text" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/id2"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toRightOf="#+id/id1"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"

This might help you.

</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>
This is tricky and slow, but it works.
The point is:
Add additional invisible same layout for measure height. This one has wrap_content height attribute, so it will stretch parent if it is big enough.
Set your visible layout height to 0dp, so it will fill rest of parent.
As you can see the capture below, we have two layouts. Hidden one is wrap_contents

I've managed to do this with LinearLayout
parent to be height = wrap content
children to be height = match parent
children width = 0 and same weight
