keep the margin when the referenced view is gone in ConstraintLayout
I have 2 TextViews as in the xml below.
If I hide the textView2
at runtime, I lose the bottom margin.
How can I keep the bottom margin between textView
and parent to be 16dp when the textView2
is gone.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<TextView
android:id="@+id/textView"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginBottom="16dp"
android:layout_marginEnd="8dp"
android:layout_marginStart="8dp"
android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
android:text="abc"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="@+id/textView2"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintVertical_chainStyle="packed"
/>
<TextView
android:id="@+id/textView2"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginBottom="32dp"
android:layout_marginEnd="8dp"
android:layout_marginStart="8dp"
android:text="xyz"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/textView"
app:layout_constraintVertical_chainStyle="packed"/>
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>
Use layout_goneMarginBottom
:
