Thank you very much.
But I'm afraid that this layout is not the one I want πŸ™‡β€β™‚οΈ :
How do we build the following layout using ConstraintLayout?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<com.google.android.flexbox.FlexboxLayout
  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"
  app:flexDirection="row"
  >


  <TextView
    android:id="@+id/textView2"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"
    tools:text="asfaf"
    />

  <ImageView
    android:id="@+id/imageView"
    android:layout_width="60dp"
    android:layout_height="100dp"
    android:src="@android:color/black"
    />
</com.google.android.flexbox.FlexboxLayout>

Revision 2 has:

  • layout_constraintHorizontal_bias="0": To make things left-aligned.
  • layout_constraintHorizontal_chainStyle="packed": To remove unnecessary margins.
