Is there any way to place an images half is on top of another image using only constraint layout. I know it can be done using relative and frame layouts but in the case of constraint layout is there anyway? prefer ways which do not require any hardcoding of heights/widths
the requirement will look like this
you can set layout using only constraint layout like below :
<?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="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/imageView4"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:background="@android:color/holo_orange_dark"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="@id/guideline"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintVertical_bias="0.0" />
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.Guideline
android:id="@+id/guideline"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:orientation="horizontal"
app:layout_constraintGuide_percent="0.5" />
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/imageView_upper"
android:layout_width="70dp"
android:layout_height="70dp"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="@id/guideline"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="@id/guideline"
android:background="@android:color/holo_purple"/>
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
Note: If you are using support library then you have to use android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout instead of androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
