TextView going out of screen with constraintLayout












0















I am using ConstraintLayout to create below xml in my application.
As you can see my first item is fine, But in the second one, some parts of my textView are not on the screen!



This is my XML code:



<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="@+id/ly_user"
android:padding="8dp"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">

<ImageView
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
android:id="@+id/im_user_icon"
android:layout_width="@dimen/default_message_icon_size"
android:layout_height="@dimen/default_message_icon_size"
android:src="@drawable/user_pacific"/>

<ImageView
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/im_user_icon"
app:layout_constraintRight_toLeftOf="@+id/im_user_icon"
android:id="@+id/im_user_arrow"
android:layout_width="30dp"
android:layout_height="30dp"
android:src="@drawable/arrow_bg1"/>

<View
android:id="@+id/view_user_guidLine"
android:layout_width="1dp"
android:layout_height="0dp"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="@id/im_user_arrow"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="@id/im_user_arrow"/>

<TextView
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/im_user_icon"
app:layout_constraintRight_toLeftOf="@+id/view_user_guidLine"
android:id="@+id/tv_user_message"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="right"
android:padding="8dp"
android:minWidth="@dimen/default_message_textarea_width"
android:minHeight="@dimen/default_message_textarea_height"
android:background="@drawable/bg_right_text"
android:textColor="@android:color/white"/>


</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>


I Know I can fix this problem to adding below line to the textView, But I need my textView be wrapContent.



 app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"

  • I think you should align the container of the text view according to width. If that is done, then, TextView should fit in correctly.

  • Using maxWidth you can do this. I see already you applied but it should work.

You can set your TextView's width to wrap_content, but to prevent it from expanding outside of screen you need to add the left constraint as well and use app:layout_constrainedWidth="true" to enforce constraints.



Now, to make the TextView stick to the right, you need to add app:layout_constraintHorizontal_bias="1", which will align it to its right constraint.



So all in all, these are the changes needed for the TextView:



app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
app:layout_constrainedWidth="true"
app:layout_constraintHorizontal_bias="1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"

    Add these following line in your code in your TextView



    app:layout_constraintWidth_percent="0.6"


    first line layout_constraintWidth_percent is 60 percent of your phone screen width you can change it according to your need.
