I am trying to use a barrier in combination with a viewstub which inflates a textinputlayout. The problem is that when the text error is set (e.g the user put something wrong in it), the padding gets absolutely messed up. I will provide the code and the screenshots.
<ViewStub

android:layout_width="@dimen/wrapContent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
android:layout_marginEnd="8dp"
android:inflatedId="@+id/app_default_company_name_et"
android:layout="@layout/app_standard_textinputlayout"
android:visibility="@{cValidator.companySwitchState}"
app:hint="@{cValidator.etCompanyNameHint}"
app:iType="@{0x00000001}"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toStartOf="@+id/app_default_company_ust_et"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="@+id/margin_left"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/calibrate_user_data_company_text"
app:mText="@{cValidator.etCompanyName}"
app:mTextListener="@{cValidator.onCompanyNameChanged}"
app:vBility="@{cValidator.companySwitchState}"
app:vForm="@{cValidator.etCompanyNameEM}" />

Automatically adds 200dp padding (value from layout inspector)
The only way I could solve this problem was to not use barriers anymore, but I would like to continue using them
Okay, I've managed to solve this problem. I had to delete the constraintlayout
from my viewstub_inflated_layout
. Here is the solution
