Android Layout - Position issue - android

I'm new to Android and I'm building small app in order to get the basics. I'm facing a dumb issue which, apparently, I can't seem to be able to fix.
I'm building a screen that looks like this on the designer
However, when starting the emulator, the design looks like this:
Can you please advice me what I'm doing wrong? My xml file is as follows:

Thanks a lot!

you need to use relative or Linear Layout to achieve what you are looking for. Following is the code for RelativeLayout
<?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="com.example.todorivanov.mytaskmanager.MainActivity">
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation = "horizontal"
android:id = "#+id/buttons">
<Button
android:id="#+id/button7"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginRight="16dp"
android:text="Buy"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
tools:layout_editor_absoluteY="27dp" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/btnAdd"
android:layout_width="120dp"
android:layout_height="49dp"
android:text="Add task"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
tools:layout_editor_absoluteY="27dp" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/btnOld"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Unfinished"
tools:layout_editor_absoluteY="27dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="16dp"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent" />
</LinearLayout>
<CalendarView
android:id="#+id/calendarView"
android:layout_below = "#+id/buttons"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
tools:layout_editor_absoluteY="107dp"
tools:layout_editor_absoluteX="18dp" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageAdd"
android:layout_width="314dp"
android:layout_height="358dp"
android:visibility="invisible"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintHorizontal_bias="0.421"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintVertical_bias="0.497"
app:srcCompat="#android:color/background_light" />
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/imgBtnClose"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:visibility="invisible"
app:srcCompat="#android:drawable/btn_dialog"
tools:layout_editor_absoluteX="312dp"
tools:layout_editor_absoluteY="106dp" />
</RelativeLayout>
close any other tags ..
now you'll get the calenderView under the buttons just like the editor preview but you may need to adjust the padding/margin according to your requirements.
Hope this helps..

use Relative layout and code like this
Edited with suggestion of performance as said by Rotwang

Android Studio renders it in this way:
And this is what I want to have in my Dialog.
BUT:
On physical device and on emulator it looks different than in Android Studio:
My question is: how to place "Filter" title on the left, and make the location EditText matching the parent (in the working app)?
What everybody else said is correct, keeping your layout flat is good for both performance and for these situations where you want to quickly figure out why isn't the layout being laid out the way you wanted it ;)
Try this :
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.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"
android:paddingHorizontal="15dp"
android:paddingVertical="10dp">
<TextView
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="start"
android:text="Filter"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="#id/bt_reset"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toStartOf="#id/bt_reset"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="#id/bt_reset" />
<com.google.android.material.button.MaterialButton
android:id="#+id/bt_reset"
style="#style/Widget.MaterialComponents.Button.OutlinedButton"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="RESET FILTERS"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tv_distance_title"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Distance range"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="#id/tv_distance_result"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="#id/tv_distance_result" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tv_distance_result"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="15dp"
android:background="#ddd"
android:gravity="center"
android:paddingHorizontal="18dp"
android:paddingVertical="3dp"
android:text="0 km - 500km"
android:textColor="#333"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#id/bt_reset" />
<com.google.android.material.slider.RangeSlider
android:id="#+id/slider_distance"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:stepSize="1.0"
app:labelBehavior="gone"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#id/tv_distance_result" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tv_location_title"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Location"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#id/slider_distance" />
<EditText
android:id="#+id/et_location"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="test"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#id/tv_location_title" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/bt_cancel"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
android:layout_marginEnd="20dp"
android:backgroundTint="#ccc"
android:text="CANCEL"
android:textColor="#color/colorBlack"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toStartOf="#id/bt_save"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#id/et_location" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/bt_save"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
android:layout_marginEnd="20dp"
android:text="save"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#id/et_location" />
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
I changed inner ConstraintLayouts into LinearLayouts and used weights. I also used this trick to fill space between e.g. "Filter" title and "reset filters" button.
There was also an issue with ll_location LinearLayout - it didn't match the parent.
I replaced:
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/ll_location"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#id/ll_distance_ext"
android:orientation="vertical">
<!-- content -->
</LinearLayout>
into:
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/ll_location"
android:layout_width="0dp"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#id/ll_distance_ext"
android:orientation="vertical">
<!-- content -->
</LinearLayout>
And then it worked.
The reason why I don't want to use flat layout (why I use nested layouts) is that IMHO the flat layout makes the code more difficult to maintain.
When you have Views splited into groups you can easily replace them, no matter how many View there are in a group.
My solution:

Try to use android:fitsSystemWindows="true" in your root layout(In your case LinearLayout). I recommend you to read this article to understand system overlapping. I hope it helps)
I have removed redundant LinearLayout parent and made CardView parent. Also your TextView with id item_pages is not overlapping.

Android ConstraintLayout vs <include /> issue

I have two layouts files (fragment_eo_video.xml and fragment_ir_video.xml) that share a large part of components for this reason I decided to create a new layout file (fragment_video.xml) with the common part which I include in the two original files. This's the final structure:
fragment_eo_video.xml:

Inside layout designer everything seems to work fine but if I start the application the streaming of video displayed on video_surface won't display. I think the main problem is the nesting of CostraintLayout objects (in the original code the silhouette_surface just follows video_surface but on the same xml level). I cannot undestand how to fix it: I tried using <merge /> tag as mentioned here but it doesn't work (layout designer report a number of errors since elements between <merge> cannot use layout_contraint... attributes).
There's a way to do what I need?
--- UPDATE ---
I tried also this following comments:
<it.robint.tux.components.ZoomPanTextureView
android:id="#+id/video_surface"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="#id/hud"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="#id/hud"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="#id/hud"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="#id/hud" />
<include layout="#layout/fragment_video"
android:id="#+id/hud"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
Same result, i.e. video_source is not visibile.
You shouldn't use match parent on both views.
Secondly you should add android:layout_width and height to the include layout. Then you can add constraints to the included layout.

View get packed in ConstraintLayout, Views run out of screen in LinearLayout

I am implementing a signup/login screen like below
I have tried this using ConstraintLayout like below
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<Button

app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#+id/btn1" />
<TextView

app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent" />
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
Summary of XML:
Vertical chain is applied on four top most views
vertical chain style is set to packed
last text view is constraint to bottom and sides
margin is set on views to separate items.
Problem is when I run this on my phone, bottom text views get tight packed as shown here.
Next I tried LinearLayout like below
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"
android:layout_margin="16dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/img"
android:layout_width="250dp"
android:layout_height="250dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="72dp"
android:layout_marginTop="72dp"
android:src="#drawable/ic_launcher_background"/>
<Button
android:id="#+id/btn1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="56dp"
android:layout_marginStart="32dp"
android:layout_marginEnd="32dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="8dp"
android:text="Button 1" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/btn2"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_marginStart="32dp"
android:layout_marginEnd="32dp"
android:layout_height="56dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="32dp"
android:text="Button 2" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/txt_already_member"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Already Member? Sign In"
android:textSize="16sp"
android:layout_weight="1"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/txt_agreement"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="By continuing you agree to our terms and privacy policy "
android:textSize="12sp"/>
</LinearLayout>
In this case bottom text views are not visible as shown here.
My device resolution is 720 * 1280 pixels.
I suppose the problem is with the hard margins. How could I make the screen look like in the sketch above, regardless of screen height? either using LinearLayout or ConstraintLayout?
I would recommend you you use all screen densities rather than one for this you can use the famous library SDP or follow the guideline provided by android.
Second use Guideline class for Constraintlayout.
Here is the sample code snippet you can also use this one.

android:orientation="horizontal"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintGuide_percent="0.7"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#+id/txt_already_member" />
Actually solution to my problem is using Guidelines in ConstraintLayout with Guidelines app:layout_constraintGuide_percentattribute and constraining the views to Guidelines.
Since value for app:layout_constraintGuide_percent is a percentage rather than a dp value, it works responsively regardless of screen width/height.
