I have a very simple yet frustrating issue:
I have two views inside a layout. The layout can be any layout but I have been trying to use a ConstraintLayout.
I want these two views on opposite sides like below:
I want the views:
This is the code:
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<TextView
android:id="@+id/view1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toStartOf="@id/view2"/>
<TextView
android:id="@+id/view2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent" />
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
I have tried searching StackOverflow but no questions handle all the scenarios I have listed. Help please.
In all my different attempts, I haven't been able to get all 4 needs met
I thinks this is what you are looking for.
<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="wrap_content">
<TextView
android:id="@+id/view1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:layout_constrainedWidth="true"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toStartOf="@+id/a_guideline"
app:layout_constraintHorizontal_bias="0.0"
app:layout_constraintHorizontal_chainStyle="spread_inside"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
tools:text="This is view 1" />
<TextView
android:id="@+id/view2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:layout_constrainedWidth="true"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintHorizontal_bias="1.0"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="@+id/a_guideline"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
tools:text="This isa long text in view 2" />
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.Guideline
android:id="@+id/a_guideline"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical"
app:layout_constraintGuide_percent="0.5" />
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
This is the result:
