Last view is getting cropped in constraint layout

I want to build a listview whose every item can have different height as per text content length.
Below is the layout of my listview item. When I tried to set lengthy content on title, the bottom textview is getting cropped, however I wanted parent constraint layout to be expanded as per the text.

0dp makes the view follow the defined constraints as priority, and when there is no left space in the Item, it still follows the constraints, making the bottom of the view at the bottom of the parent and the top on the bottom of the title. There is no space between these two constraints when the title is too big.
Instead of 0dp, change the layout_height to wrap_content and it should wrap it's content:
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tv_notification_desc"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"

screenshot I want

Add this attribute to both your articleAuthor and articleTitle TextViews:
app:layout_constraintEnd_toStartOf="#id/guideline"
Additionally, set the layout_width attribute to 0dp (i.e. "match constraints") for both of these same views:
android:layout_width="0dp"
This will cause the TextViews to be exactly as wide as the space between the left edge of the parent and the right edge of the guideline. For text that is shorter than this width, you'll get one line of left-justified text. For text that is longer than this width, you'll get multiple lines of left-justified text that wrap before the ImageView.

Can't figure out layout dependencies in Android

I need to create a layout which should look like this:
The TextView content should be wrapped so the ImageView is always at the ent of the text.
TextView should not overlap with other views regardless of content.
ImageView can have visibility GONE during runtime, so TextView should use the space of ImageView.
My current layout:
<RelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="48dp"
android:background="#android:color/white">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/pref_list_item_title"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_marginStart="16dp"
android:fontFamily="sans-serif"
android:text="Long long"
android:textSize="#dimen/preference_text_size" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/pref_list_item_help_button"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_toEndOf="#id/pref_list_item_title"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_margin="8dp"
android:src="#drawable/ic_help_primary_color"
android:contentDescription="#string/help" />
<Switch
android:id="#+id/pref_list_item_switch"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentEnd="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_marginEnd="16dp" />
</RelativeLayout>
ConstraintLayout is an option, but I couldn't create constraints that satisfy my needs.

Using ConstraintLayout you can do it 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">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/pref_list_item_title"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginStart="16dp"
android:fontFamily="sans-serif"
android:text="Long long asdasd asd asd aasdadasd"
android:textSize="#dimen/preference_text_size"
app:layout_constrainedWidth="true"
app:layout_constraintHorizontal_chainStyle="packed"
app:layout_constraintHorizontal_bias="0"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toStartOf="#id/pref_list_item_help_button"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"/>
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/pref_list_item_help_button"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_toEndOf="#id/pref_list_item_title"
android:layout_margin="8dp"
android:src="#drawable/ic_help_primary_color"
android:contentDescription="#string/help"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toStartOf="#id/pref_list_item_switch"
app:layout_constraintStart_toEndOf="#id/pref_list_item_title"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"/>
<Switch
android:id="#+id/pref_list_item_switch"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginEnd="16dp"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"/>
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>
The TextView and the ImageView are chained together with packed style and horizontal bias of 0 to keep them aligned to the left. The app:layout_constrainedWidth="true" has to be set for the TextView to prevent it from overlapping other Views in case the text gets too long. All this also works well when you want to toggle ImageView's visibility.

ConstraintLayout chain does not work if some chained views constrained to another chained view

I am not sure whether it is a bug of ConstraintLayout or not, so I try to ask if somebody knows I made any mistake.
I have a layout which I want to spread evenly on the screen 3 elements.
Just like below:
I formed horizontal chains between them and as you can see, they are distributing themselves evenly and working good.
Now I want to place an image plus a TextView centered inside each element, like this:
So this is what I tried to do, taking element 1 as example:
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/image1"
android:layout_width="32dp"
android:layout_height="32dp"
android:src="#drawable/image1"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="#id/element_1"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="#id/element_1"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="#id/element_1"
app:layout_constraintRight_toLeftOf="#+id/text1"
app:layout_constraintHorizontal_chainStyle="packed"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/text1"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="2dp"
android:text="#string/text1"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="#id/element_1"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toRightOf="#id/image1"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="#id/element_1"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="#id/element_1"
app:layout_constraintHorizontal_chainStyle="packed"
android:gravity="center_vertical"/>
Sadly, it seems to "break" the chain of the 3 elements. The 3 elements now does not spread horizontally, but wrapped to a very small size:
If I removed the chain between the ImageView and TextView, it works fine. But then I cannot center the ImageView and TextView inside the element.
Does anyone encountered something like this? How do you solve it?
Now, I know I have at least 2 alternatives to solve this problem:
(1) Use one TextView with a compound drawable, instead of ImageView + TextView;
(2) Use a LinearLayout to wrap the ImageView and TextView
But I want to know why it does not work (So that we can have better understanding of ConstraintLayout), instead of finding an alternative.
Thanks!

After posting my other answer to this question, I realized that it did not address how to center a multi-line TextView.
Referring to the image above, the leftmost box has a single line TextView. The TextView and the ImageView are centered as a group in the the box. This was accomplished by specifying the following for the TextView.
<TextView
android:layout_width="0dp"
app:layout_constraintWidth_default="wrap"
.. the rest of it .../>
See this posting regarding the use of app:layout_constraintWidth_default="wrap".
app:layout_constraintWidth_default="wrap" (with width set to 0dp). If set, the widget will have the same size as if using wrap_content, but will be limited by constraints (i.e. it won't expand beyond them)
Update: It looks like the XML above needs to be changed for ConstraintLayout 1.1.0 beta2. See the release update.
I think what we are now looking for in the XML is the following:
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
app:layout_constrainedWidth="true"
.. the rest of it .../>
I have left the rest of this posting using the pre-1.1.0 beta2 layout. To update, just make the changes mentioned above. The centering issue remains.
This works great for the single line example and the views are centered in the box, but we run into difficulty when the TextView spans multiple lines as it does in the middle box of image above. Although the text within the TextView is wrapped and does not expand beyond its constraints, the ImageView and TextView are not centered like we might expect. In fact, the bounds of the TextView extend to the right of the blue box.
My quick fix for this is to insert a zero-width Space widget to the left of the ImageView in the rightmost box. The chain is that box is now anchored between the Space widget and the righthand side of the box. The ImageView is constrained on the left by the Space.
The Space widget can now be expanded to act like a shim to move the ImageView to the right by the amount that will center the chain. (See right box in the image above.) The getExcessWidth() method of MainActivity calculates how wide the Space widget needs to be.
Here is the XML:

ConstraintLayout appears to be working as expected. You don't specify what kind of view the elements are, so I have taken the TextView and ImageView and chained them inside a View. I also changed the width of the TextView from 0dp (match_constraints) to wrap_content. Here is the result:
..and the XML.

If this continues to be a problem for you, it would be helpful if you can post more of your XML including the elements. In the meantime, a couple of thoughts.
First, check to make sure that you are not mixing left/right with start/end constraints. If you supply both, they should agree. There has been an inconsistency in how these have been applied by the designer in the past.
Secondly, you can set up barriers to the left and right of each of your elements and chain the TextView and ImageView between these barriers. See this writeup about barriers in ConstraintLayout.

I noticed that you have your inner view chains set to 'packed' with the line
app:layout_constraintHorizontal_chainStyle="packed"
It almost seems like the this functionality is extending out to the parent views (the 'elements in your case').
You should try temporarily removing this line in your markup to see if your problem goes away.
If so, the fix should be easy enough. There are many ways to achieve that same effect without nesting layouts.

This is perhaps the closest you can get to centering the ImageView and TextView in the ConstraintLayout without any kind of Nested layouts.
And here is the code that does that

app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="#+id/frameLayout"
android:layout_marginLeft="8dp"
android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="8dp"
android:layout_marginRight="8dp"
android:layout_marginStart="8dp"
android:layout_marginEnd="8dp">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageView2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"

app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintRight_toLeftOf="#+id/textView2"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent" />
<TextView

The layout will be positioned correctly only if the chain style is set to app:layout_constraintHorizontal_chainStyle="spread_inside"
This is how the output will look like

How to make view "wrap_content but not larger than" with ConstraintLayout?

I'm having 3 view in a row: title, version and imageview (working as button):
title should be wrap_content but respecting the following rules
version should be wrap_content, to right of the title and to left of imageview
imageview has fixed size and is at right top corner of the parent
The problem is if title is too large, the version is moved to right and rule "version is to the left of imageview" is not respected:
So i need to limit title width and make version visible and not moved to the right.
Here is XML:

PS 1. layout_width="0dp" + app:layout_constraintWidth_default="wrap" seems to be exactly what i need ("wrap_content but not breaking the constraints") but it does not work (still larger than required):

android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"

app:layout_constraintWidth_default="wrap"

PS 2. Setting min constraint width for the version (app:layout_constraintWidth_min="60dp") does not help too - it's invisible as it's moved too right.

Title and version should be in the chain and app:layout_constraintWidth_default="wrap" used:

I've tried to align version to title baseline but if the title is 2 or more lines it's aligned to the first line and it's not desired. So i had to align version to title bottom and hardcode title -3 bottom padding.
However, it looks as desired in Android Studio:
but on hardware device it looks different:
When analyzing in Layout Inspector i can see title width is calculated wrong:
Probably it's side effect of using it in RecyclerView but anyway...

You want to set android:layout_width="0dp".
Using wrap_content, the view will grow infinitely with the content. By using 0dp and setting its constraints, the view will have the maximum size as default, and the content will grow inside it reaches the limit.
Using android:layout_width="wrap_content"
Using android:layout_width="0dp"
From here-on, do your magic. You can set the TextView's android:maxLines="1" and android:ellipsize="end", adding three dots when reaching the maximum size.

i achieve this by setting layout_width to wrap_content and maxWidth to a value

In ConstraintLayout you can add one or mre guidelines horizontally or vertically which help to divide the screen in sections.
I ussually add the guidelines using the *_pct atribute which set the position as a percentage of the screen width/height.
