Question

As you see in the picture the text is off the wall. This is such a bizarre behavior and I think it´sa bug

Here´sa screen shoot:

Here´s the header xml:

<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout

How can I make the TextView called street_name text not go outside screen? I use the MaterialDrawer but I dont think that has anything to do with this. Device is samsung Note 4 having Android 6.0.1. Using ConstraintLayout version com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.0.2 in Android Studio 2.3.3

Answer 1

Set android:layout_width="0dp" for street_name . That will cause it to match constraints and should keep it in bounds.

Not working? street_name is constrained on the right by guideline30 at 395dp . Is 395dp off the right of your screen?

Answer 2

Add the layconstraintEnd_toEndOf

and width 0dp

Setting width 0dp alone won't work

Answer 3

Use app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf instead of app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf Also beacuse Right_otRight may display wrong in some situation

And use Start_toStartOf instead of Left_toLeft

Also like the others said set android:layout_width="0dp" 0dp means match constraint

Answer 4

For your <TextView android:id="@+id/street_name"...> you should use android:layout_width="0dp" and android:layout_height="wrap_content" so that it looks like:

<TextView
        android:id="@+id/street_name"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginStart="15dp"
        android:text="street name"
        android:textColor="?AppTheme.InformationText"
        android:textSize="14sp"
        android:textStyle="bold"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
        android:layout_marginRight="8dp"
        android:layout_marginBottom="19dp"
        android:layout_marginLeft="0dp"
        app:layout_constraintWidth_default="wrap"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="@+id/guideline29"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="@+id/guideline37"
        app:layout_constraintRight_toLeftOf="@+id/guideline30"
        app:layout_constraintHorizontal_bias="0.605"
        app:layout_constraintVertical_bias="0.0"/>

EDIT #1: I guess you should constraint right side of your TextView by parent, not by guideline, ie change app:layout_constraintRight_toLeftOf="@+id/guideline30" to app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent" . As a result you have:

<TextView
        android:id="@+id/street_name"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginStart="15dp"
        android:text="street name"
        android:textColor="?AppTheme.InformationText"
        android:textSize="14sp"
        android:textStyle="bold"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
        android:layout_marginRight="8dp"
        android:layout_marginBottom="19dp"
        android:layout_marginLeft="0dp"
        app:layout_constraintWidth_default="wrap"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="@+id/guideline29"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="@+id/guideline37"
        app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintHorizontal_bias="0.605"
        app:layout_constraintVertical_bias="0.0"/>

Answer 5

Just attach TextView to right side and all be ok. When you use a constraintLayout better practice to attach view to another view or parent, all 4 constraints should be used.
