This is my Activity layout:
<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"
tools:context=".MainActivity">
<com.google.android.material.appbar.AppBarLayout
android:id="@+id/appbar"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true">
<com.google.android.material.appbar.MaterialToolbar
android:id="@+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize" />
</com.google.android.material.appbar.AppBarLayout>
<androidx.fragment.app.FragmentContainerView
android:id="@+id/nav_host_fragment"
android:name="androidx.navigation.fragment.NavHostFragment"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:defaultNavHost="true"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="@id/adView"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@id/appbar"
app:navGraph="@navigation/nav_graph" />
<com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView
android:id="@+id/adView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:adUnitId="ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/9214589741"
app:adSize="BANNER"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent" />
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
And this is a Fragment displayed inside it:
<androidx.appcompat.widget.LinearLayoutCompat
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical"
tools:context=".ScannerFragment">
<androidx.camera.view.PreviewView
android:id="@+id/cameraPreview"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="200dp"/>
<androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView
android:id="@+id/sale_list"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
<View
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0sp"
android:layout_weight="1"/>
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Total"
android:textSize="24sp"/>
</androidx.appcompat.widget.LinearLayoutCompat>
And this is what it looks like:
Have a look at the FragmentContainerView
: It is constraint to be below the appbar and above the adView. The fragment however clearly violates these constraints and ignores the appbar and the adView.
Am I doing something wrong? Or is ConstraintLayout
simply broken? How to achieve the layout I want?
I already tried to put the FragmentContainerView
inside a LinearLayout
and the constraints on the LinearLayout
, but could not witness any change.
Your FragmentContainer
has a height of wrap_content
meaning it won't respect the constraints set by constraintTop_toBottomOf
(and similar) attributes.
Using 0dp
(MATCH_CONSTRAINT
) as its height is the key. Please read more about it here.
... The first two works in a similar fashion as other layouts. The last one will resize the widget in such a way as matching the constraints that are set. If margins are set, they will be taken in account in the computation.
