        android:layout_height="wrap_content">

        <ImageView
            android:id="@+id/imageView"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="194dp"
            android:layout_marginBottom="8dp"
            android:scaleType="centerCrop"
            app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="@+id/textAppearanceHeadline6"
            app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
            app:layout_constraintHorizontal_bias="1.0"
            app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
            app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
            tools:srcCompat="@drawable/faye" />

        <TextView

        <LinearLayout
            android:id="@+id/textAppearanceBody1"
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"

I am new to android so you are most welcome for code review.

Answer 1

Use it like this

<TextView
            android:id="@+id/textView2"
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
            android:weight="1"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_marginTop="16dp"
            android:layout_marginBottom="8dp"
            android:text="Age : 7"/>

        <TextView
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
            android:layout_marginEnd="8dp"
            android:layout_marginBottom="8dp"
            android:text="Hobbies: Sunbathing"
            android:textColor="#5A5656" />

weight here will allow the first textview to take all the space and will leave the required space for the hobby textview. Use it as per your requirement.

Try to change your layout like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content">

    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/imageView"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="194dp"
        android:layout_marginBottom="8dp"
        android:scaleType="centerCrop"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="@+id/textAppearanceHeadline6"
        app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintHorizontal_bias="1.0"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
        tools:srcCompat="@drawable/faye" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textAppearanceHeadline6"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_margin="8dp"
        android:text="Faye"
        android:textColor="@android:color/black"
        android:textSize="16sp"
        android:textStyle="bold"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="@+id/imageView"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/imageView" />

    <LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/textAppearanceBody1"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_margin="8dp"
        android:orientation="horizontal"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="@+id/textAppearanceHeadline6"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/textAppearanceHeadline6">

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/textView2"
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:gravity="center|start"
            android:text="Age : 7"/>

        <TextView
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="Hobbies: Sunbathing"
            android:gravity="center"
            android:textColor="#5A5656" />

    </LinearLayout>

</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
