ConstraintLayout max width percentage - android

I've been experimenting with ConstraintLayout, is there a way to set the max width of a view to a percentage of the parent (and a height of match constraint and dimension ratio of 1:1)?
Here is the code without using max width:
<?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"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/frameLayout3"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="259dp"
android:layout_marginEnd="8dp"
android:layout_marginStart="8dp"
android:background="#android:color/black"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintHorizontal_bias="0.0"
app:layout_constraintStart_toEndOf="#+id/imageView"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"/>
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageView"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:src="#android:drawable/ic_menu_add"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="#+id/frameLayout3"
app:layout_constraintDimensionRatio="1:1"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintWidth_percent="0.3"/>
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>
This is the result:
Tablet:
Phone:

I achieved the max width percentage using two attributes:
app:layout_constraintWidth_max="wrap"
app:layout_constraintWidth_percent="0.4"
Example:
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView2"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginStart="8dp"
android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
android:text="Helo world"
android:textAlignment="viewStart"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintWidth_max="wrap"
app:layout_constraintWidth_percent="0.4" />
The text width will increase to 40% of parent and then wrap if the content exceeds that.

If I'm understanding your problem right then You're almost there. I think you're giving frameLayout static height that's why it is not giving the appropriate result on tablet.. because you set the height according to phone preview. What you need to do is make the height of frameLayout relative to imageView.. so when imageView grows in size the frameLayout also grows with it.
I think you should do 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"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageView"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:src="#android:drawable/ic_menu_add"
app:layout_constraintDimensionRatio="1:1"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintWidth_percent="0.3" />
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/frameLayoutTwo"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:background="#android:color/black"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="#+id/imageView"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toEndOf="#+id/imageView"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>
I checked and this gives the same result in phone and tablet. Correct me if I misunderstood your problem.

No, there is not. I think we should file a feature request. I am pretty sure that PercentRelativeLayout also does not have this feature. (This answer is accurate for ConstraintLayout 1.1)

You can set a LinearLayout or other ViewGroup as exact percent width and place your wrap_content view inside this layout.
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/image_place_holder"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:scaleType="centerCrop"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />
<!-- This LinearLayout will have exact 80% of parent width-->
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintWidth_percent="0.8">
<!-- This MaterialCardView will get a wrap_content width,
with a max width of his parent LinearLayout, which is 80% -->
<com.google.android.material.card.MaterialCardView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginStart="#dimen/half_activity_horizontal_margin"
android:layout_marginTop="#dimen/half_activity_vertical_margin"
android:layout_marginEnd="#dimen/half_activity_horizontal_margin"
android:layout_marginBottom="#dimen/half_activity_vertical_margin"
android:backgroundTint="?attr/colorPrimary">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:maxLines="1"
android:paddingStart="#dimen/half_activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingEnd="#dimen/half_activity_horizontal_margin"
android:text="Lorem ipsum"
android:textAppearance="?attr/textAppearanceCaption" />
</com.google.android.material.card.MaterialCardView>
</LinearLayout>
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>

Android UI: Fill the remaining screen with a max_height limit

I wonder how to implement the following design in Android xml. The contents will have height wrap-contents with the most priority, and it could even fill the whole screen if there are enough contents. The image above it should fill up the remaining height - however it also has a limited max-height of 160dp. It seems if I use layout-weight or match-parent, the max-height param does not work anymore. Is there a way to do this in the xml? Or do I have to do it in the Java file programmatically? Thanks.
try something like this:
I'm using two textView just for test
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

android:layout_width="match_parent"

android:textSize="48sp"
app:layout_constrainedHeight="true"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="#+id/textView"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintVertical_bias="1.0" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#FFEE58"
android:text="Content"

app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"

those are the important lines
android:maxHeight="160dp"
app:layout_constrainedHeight="true"

How to fix the height / width ratio in a constraint layout with a bg image?

I've created a TextView inside a Constraint Layout to be displayed at the top right corner in my activity. The TextView gets his value from a JSON, so the length of it isn't fixed, the problem is the design of my background:
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:padding="#dimen/default_padding">
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
android:id="#+id/age"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
android:background="#drawable/btn_agebg"
android:paddingStart="#dimen/padding_big"
android:paddingTop="#dimen/padding_small"
android:paddingBottom="#dimen/padding_small"
android:paddingEnd="#dimen/padding_small"
>
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="10000000.000 BC"
android:paddingStart="#dimen/default_padding"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
/>
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
The result of this code is visible below:
My background contains a star in a vector format and also the button borders, so every time the width / height ratio gets out of a certain ratio (with long or short textes), the star is streched or flattened. Can I keep the aspect ratio of the background / layout within fixed limits or a prefixed ratio?
You can use separate drawables for star and the text background and then try to achieve the UI as expected, try following which could help,

Constraint layout cut out some of my views

please let me know if I need to upload the images for a better perspective of my problem.
maybe because my images are big?
if my images are big how can I proportionally set a width and height for my photos
where it can dynamically adjust to its parent size or screen size?
This may happen because you are using android:layout_height="wrap_content"
on your imageView.
If your image is too large your layout won't be responsive anymore (because 900dp image, for example, will take all the screen size while using wrap_content).
how can i proportionally set a width and height
You can tell your image or any other view what size to be in precents like this:
<Button
android:id="#+id/button"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="0dp"
app:layout_constraintWidth_percent="0.5" //50% of the screen Width
app:layout_constraintHeight_percent="0.5" //50% of the screen Height
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />
I think below solution might work for you.
Remove app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="#+id/tvHeaderText" from ImageView Icon
and Remove app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf property from all other views.
Hope it will solve your issue. :)

How can I force the horizontal constraints on a widget to get priority over its vertical constraints?

I need to build a square that always spreads over the entire width of the screen (portrait orientation), whatever the size of the screen. Below this square and some fixed height widgets, I want to allocate the remaining available space to a text field.
The simplified code below shows what I have tried so far:
<?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"

android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".ScMainFull"
>
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout
android:id="#+id/Grid"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="0dp"
app:layout_constraintDimensionRatio="1:1"
android:layout_margin="16dp"
app:layout_constraintVertical_chainStyle="spread_inside"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="#+id/button1"
/>
<Button
android:id="#+id/button1"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="48dp"
android:text="1"
android:layout_margin="16dp"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#+id/Grid"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="#+id/Report"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/Report"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_margin="16dp"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#+id/button1"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
/>
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>
On the vertical axis, the available space (total height less vertical margins and fixed height button) is evenly distributed between the two widgets that have layout_height="0dp" ignoring the horizontal constraints in the first widget.
What should I change in this code to have the space allocated to the textview calculated after the square has been built to occupy the full width of the screen? Another way to ask the same question would be: how can I force the horizontal constraints on the square to get priority over its vertical constraints?
Just remove the squared top ConstraintLayout from the chain.

You are doing it wrong if you are thinking about nesting another ViewGroup.

ConstraintLayout layout_constraintDimensionRatio not working

I used constraintLayout and layout_constraintDimensionRatio="1:1"
(width is wrap_content, height is 0dp (match_constraint))
As a result, I expected width and height to be 1:1, but it's not working.
What is wrong?
I attached code and screenshot.
<?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"

android:layout_height="match_parent">

android:id="#+id/t1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:background="#android:color/holo_blue_bright"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="Hello World!11"
app:layout_constraintDimensionRatio="1:1" />
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>

I quote android developer site about Constraintlayout.
https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/constraint/ConstraintLayout.html#DimensionConstraints
Ratio :: You can also define one dimension of a widget as a ratio of
the other one. In order to do that, you need to have at least one
constrained dimension be set to 0dp (i.e., MATCH_CONSTRAINT), and set
the attribute layout_constraintDimentionRatio to a given ratio. For
example:
<Button android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="0dp"
app:layout_constraintDimensionRatio="1:1" />
will set the height of the button to be the same as its width.
but it was not working.
You forget to add your constraints
<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">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/t1"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="0dp"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
android:background="#android:color/holo_blue_bright"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="Hello World!11"
app:layout_constraintDimensionRatio="1" />
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>
0dp is only applied to the child views of ConstraintLayout.
Any view should apply the attribute rules of its parent.
As off version 1.1.0 this has changed.
You can now define:
app:layout_constraintDimensionRatio="1:1"
app:layout_constraintDimensionRatio="W,1:1"
app:layout_constraintDimensionRatio="H,1:1"
Check the link below to find all the documentation regarding DimensionConstraints:

In my case I have a problem like i have to fill my layout inside container with A4 size paper ratio.
Problem
I am getting A4 size resume pages as images from backend so i have to append those images in Viewpager in which i am using ImageView to display those images.
Solution
I went through Constraint layout document in which Ratio section is there. So i can use layout_constraintDimensionRatio for solving my problem.
So my xml that is used to Display the whole Layout is following, in my case i have used app:layout_constraintDimensionRatio="1:1.27" as with:height ratio but the actual ratio is app:layout_constraintDimensionRatio="1:1.41"
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout

android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="1dp"
android:background="#color/headline_title_color"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintVertical_bias=".85"/>
<!-- A4 size Image View-->
<ImageView

android:src="#drawable/banner"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="#id/divider"
app:layout_constraintDimensionRatio="1:1.27"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
/>
<!-- for Bottom two buttons -->
<com.bold.job.utils.CustomButton
android:id="#+id/preview"
style="#style/tertiaryButtonStyle"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="16dp"
android:onClick="preview"
android:text="#string/preview_resume"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintRight_toLeftOf="#id/guideline"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#id/divider"
/>
<android.support.constraint.Guideline
android:id="#+id/guideline"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
app:layout_constraintGuide_percent="0.5" />
<com.bold.job.utils.CustomButton
android:id="#+id/preview2"

android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="16dp"
android:onClick="preview"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toRightOf="#id/guideline"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
android:text="#string/preview_resume"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#id/divider"
/>
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>
Please notice the last line, adding constraints around the edges makes the constraint work.
You can also use the design view in Studio, and drag and drop the constraints between objects.
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Available chats" />
<ListView
android:id="#+id/listChats"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#+id/textView"/>
