1 Introduction

ConstraintLayout layout constraint is the ViewGroup, it may be used in the above Api9 Android system, it appears mainly to solve the problem of excessive nested arrangement, a flexible member positioned and controlled to be small. From Android Studio 2.3 from the official template used by default ConstraintLayout .

ConstraintLayout official documents


2. Why ConstraintLayout

Often encountered in the development process some complex UI, the layout of nested too many problems may arise, nesting more, the equipment needed to draw view time and computing power are also more. Simple example:

Assume now that write such a layout, some people may like this:
The first is a vertical LinearLayout, which put two levels of LinearLayout, then put in a horizontal LinearLayout TextView inside. Such a wording of nested layers LinearLayout.

Some people take into account the risks of nested layouts, so use a RelativeLayout to hold all the controls. So the question is, since we use RelativeLayout can solve the problem, why use ConstraintLayout it? Because ConstraintLayout use more flexible than RelativeLayout, better performance! Another point is ConstraintLayout can control the position and size constraints to scale, to better fit different screen size models.


3. How to use ConstraintLayout

3.1 Add dependence

First we need to add a dependency ConstraintLayout in app / build.gradle file, as shown below.

 implementation 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.1.3'

3.2 relative positioning

Restraint member is positioned opposite to another location, say the abstract may be a bit, for example:

As shown in Figure, TextView2 on the right side of TextView1, TextView3 below TextView1, this time in the layout file which should be written:

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/TextView1"
        ...
        android:text="TextView1" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/TextView2"
        ...
        app:layout_constraintLeft_toRightOf="@+id/TextView1" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/TextView3"
        ...
        app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/TextView1" />

TextView2 used in the above code in the app: layout_constraintLeft_toRightOf = "@ + id / TextView1" this attribute, he meant the left to the right TextView1 TextView2 constraint, as shown below:

Similarly TextView3 TextView1 below, the need to use app: layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf = "@ + id / TextView1", i.e., the upper bound of TextView1 TextView3 to below.

下面来看看相对定位的常用属性:
layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf
layout_constraintLeft_toRightOf
layout_constraintRight_toLeftOf
layout_constraintRight_toRightOf
layout_constraintTop_toTopOf
layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf
layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf
layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf
layout_constraintBaseline_toBaselineOf
layout_constraintStart_toEndOf
layout_constraintStart_toStartOf
layout_constraintEnd_toStartOf
layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf

The above properties have a more interesting layout_constraintBaseline_toBaselineOf
Baseline refers to the text baseline, for example:

 

As shown, two TextView highly inconsistent, but they also want text alignment, this time can be used layout_constraintBaseline_toBaselineOf, code is as follows:

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/TextView1"
        .../>

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/TextView2"
        ...
        app:layout_constraintLeft_toRightOf="@+id/TextView1" 
        app:layout_constraintBaseline_toBaselineOf="@+id/TextView1"/>

Results are as follows:

ConstraintLayout relative positioning with RelativeLayout usage is quite similar, with a map below summarizes the relative positioning:

Angular positioning 3.3

Angular positioning means that can be used at an angle and a distance constraint centers of the two spaces. for example:

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/TextView1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/TextView2"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        app:layout_constraintCircle="@+id/TextView1"
        app:layout_constraintCircleAngle="120"
        app:layout_constraintCircleRadius="150dp" />

In the example above TextView2 uses three attributes:
App: layout_constraintCircle = "@ + ID / TextView1"
App: layout_constraintCircleAngle = "120" (angle)
App: layout_constraintCircleRadius = "150dp" (distance)
refers to the center of TextView2 in TextView1 It centers 120 degrees, distance 150dp, the following effects:

3.4 Margins

  • 3.4.1 Common margin

ConstraintLayout margin following common attributes:
Android: layout_marginStart
Android: layout_marginEnd
Android: layout_marginLeft
Android: layout_marginTop
Android: layout_marginRight
Android: layout_marginBottom

It does not seem to make any difference with the other layout, but in fact controls ConstraintLayout inside to achieve margin, you must first constraint position the control in ConstraintLayout where, for example:

<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout 
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/TextView1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
        android:layout_marginTop="10dp" />

</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>

If another layout, the TextView1 position should have a margin of 10dp from the left and above the border, but in ConstraintLayout years, is not effective because TextView1 position in the layout where no constraints. The correct wording is as follows:

<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout 
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/TextView1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
        android:layout_marginTop="10dp" 
        app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"/>

</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>

The TextView1 the left and upper bound to the parent of the left and top, this margin will take effect, the effect is as follows:

在使用margin的时候要注意两点:
控件必须在布局里约束一个相对位置
margin只能大于等于0

  • 3.4.2 goneMargin

goneMargin主要用于约束的控件可见性被设置为gone的时候使用的margin值,属性如下:
layout_goneMarginStart
layout_goneMarginEnd
layout_goneMarginLeft
layout_goneMarginTop
layout_goneMarginRight
layout_goneMarginBottom

举个例子:
假设TextView2的左边约束在TextView1的右边,并给TextView2设一个app:layout_goneMarginLeft="10dp",代码如下:

<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout 
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/TextView1"
        .../>

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/TextView2"
        ...
        app:layout_constraintLeft_toRightOf="@+id/TextView1"
        app:layout_goneMarginLeft="10dp"
        />

</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>

效果如下,TextView2在TextView1的右边,且没有边距。

这个时候把TextView1的可见性设为gone,效果如下:

TextView1消失后,TextView2有一个距离左边10dp的边距。

3.5 居中和偏移

在RelativeLayout中,把控件放在布局中间的方法是把layout_centerInParent设为true,而在ConstraintLayout中的写法是:

app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"

意思是把控件的上下左右约束在布局的上下左右,这样就能把控件放在布局的中间了。同理RelativeLayout中的水平居中layout_centerHorizontal相当于在ConstraintLayout约束控件的左右为parent的左右;RelativeLayout中的垂直居中layout_centerVertical相当于在ConstraintLayout约束控件的上下为parent的上下。
由于ConstraintLayout中的居中已经为控件约束了一个相对位置,所以可以使用margin,如下所示:

<TextView
        android:id="@+id/TextView1"
        ...
        android:layout_marginLeft="100dp"
        app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent" />

效果如下:

上面TextView1在水平居中后使用layout_marginLeft="100dp"向右偏移了100dp。除了这种偏移外,ConstraintLayout还提供了另外一种偏移的属性:
layout_constraintHorizontal_bias 水平偏移
layout_constraintVertical_bias 垂直偏移

举个例子:

<TextView
        android:id="@+id/TextView1"
        ...
        app:layout_constraintHorizontal_bias="0.3"
        app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent" />

效果如下:

假如现在要实现水平偏移,给TextView1的layout_constraintHorizontal_bias赋一个范围为 0-1 的值,假如赋值为0,则TextView1在布局的最左侧,假如赋值为1,则TextView1在布局的最右侧,假如假如赋值为0.5,则水平居中,假如假如赋值为0.3,则更倾向于左侧。
垂直偏移同理。

3.6 尺寸约束

控件的尺寸可以通过四种不同方式指定:

  • 使用指定的尺寸

  • 使用wrap_content,让控件自己计算大小
    当控件的高度或宽度为wrap_content时,可以使用下列属性来控制最大、最小的高度或宽度:
    android:minWidth 最小的宽度
    android:minHeight 最小的高度
    android:maxWidth 最大的宽度
    android:maxHeight 最大的高度
    注意!当ConstraintLayout为1.1版本以下时,使用这些属性需要加上强制约束,如下所示:
    app:constrainedWidth=”true”
    app:constrainedHeight=”true”

  • 使用 0dp (MATCH_CONSTRAINT)
    官方不推荐在ConstraintLayout中使用match_parent,可以设置 0dp (MATCH_CONSTRAINT) 配合约束代替match_parent,举个例子:

<TextView
        android:id="@+id/TextView1"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginLeft="50dp"
        app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
        android:visibility="visible" />

宽度设为0dp,左右两边约束parent的左右两边,并设置左边边距为50dp,效果如下:

  • 宽高比
    当宽或高至少有一个尺寸被设置为0dp时,可以通过属性layout_constraintDimensionRatio设置宽高比,举个例子:
<TextView
        android:id="@+id/TextView1"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        app:layout_constraintDimensionRatio="1:1"
        app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent" />

宽设置为0dp,宽高比设置为1:1,这个时候TextView1是一个正方形,效果如下:

除此之外,在设置宽高比的值的时候,还可以在前面加W或H,分别指定宽度或高度限制。 例如:
app:layout_constraintDimensionRatio="H,2:3"指的是 高:宽=2:3
app:layout_constraintDimensionRatio="W,2:3"指的是 宽:高=2:3

3.7 链

如果两个或以上控件通过下图的方式约束在一起,就可以认为是他们是一条链(图为横向的链,纵向同理)。

用代码表示:

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/TextView1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintRight_toLeftOf="@+id/TextView2" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/TextView2"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        app:layout_constraintLeft_toRightOf="@+id/TextView1"
        app:layout_constraintRight_toLeftOf="@+id/TextView3"
        app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/TextView3"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        app:layout_constraintLeft_toRightOf="@+id/TextView2"
        app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent" />

3个TextView相互约束,两端两个TextView分别与parent约束,成为一条链,效果如下:

一条链的第一个控件是这条链的链头,我们可以在链头中设置 layout_constraintHorizontal_chainStyle来改变整条链的样式。chains提供了3种样式,分别是:
CHAIN_SPREAD —— 展开元素 (默认);
CHAIN_SPREAD_INSIDE —— 展开元素,但链的两端贴近parent;
CHAIN_PACKED —— 链的元素将被打包在一起。
如图所示:

上面的例子创建了一个样式链,除了样式链外,还可以创建一个权重链。
可以留意到上面所用到的3个TextView宽度都为wrap_content,如果我们把宽度都设为0dp,这个时候可以在每个TextView中设置横向权重layout_constraintHorizontal_weight(constraintVertical为纵向)来创建一个权重链,如下所示:

 <TextView
        android:id="@+id/TextView1"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintRight_toLeftOf="@+id/TextView2"
        app:layout_constraintHorizontal_weight="2" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/TextView2"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        app:layout_constraintLeft_toRightOf="@+id/TextView1"
        app:layout_constraintRight_toLeftOf="@+id/TextView3"
        app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintHorizontal_weight="3" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/TextView3"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        app:layout_constraintLeft_toRightOf="@+id/TextView2"
        app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintHorizontal_weight="4" />

效果如下:


4.辅助工具

4.1 Optimizer

当我们使用 MATCH_CONSTRAINT 时,ConstraintLayout 将对控件进行 2 次测量,ConstraintLayout在1.1中可以通过设置 layout_optimizationLevel 进行优化,可设置的值有:
none:无优化
standard:仅优化直接约束和屏障约束(默认)
direct:优化直接约束
barrier:优化屏障约束
chain:优化链约束
dimensions:优化尺寸测量

4.2 Barrier

 

 

假设有3个控件ABC,C在AB的右边,但是AB的宽是不固定的,这个时候C无论约束在A的右边或者B的右边都不对。当出现这种情况可以用Barrier来解决。Barrier可以在多个控件的一侧建立一个屏障,如下所示:

这个时候C只要约束在Barrier的右边就可以了,代码如下:

<TextView
        android:id="@+id/TextView1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/TextView2"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/TextView1" />

    <android.support.constraint.Barrier
        android:id="@+id/barrier"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        app:barrierDirection="right"
        app:constraint_referenced_ids="TextView1,TextView2" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/TextView3"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        app:layout_constraintLeft_toRightOf="@+id/barrier" />

app:barrierDirection为屏障所在的位置,可设置的值有:bottom、end、left、right、start、top
app:constraint_referenced_ids为屏障引用的控件,可设置多个(用“,”隔开)

4.3 Group

Group可以把多个控件归为一组,方便隐藏或显示一组控件,举个例子:

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/TextView1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/TextView2"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        app:layout_constraintLeft_toRightOf="@+id/TextView1" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/TextView3"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        app:layout_constraintLeft_toRightOf="@id/TextView2" />

现在有3个并排的TextView,用Group把TextView1和TextView3归为一组,再设置这组控件的可见性,如下所示:

   <android.support.constraint.Group
        android:id="@+id/group"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:visibility="invisible"
        app:constraint_referenced_ids="TextView1,TextView3" />

 

 

效果如下:

4.4 Placeholder

Placeholder指的是占位符。在Placeholder中可使用setContent()设置另一个控件的id,使这个控件移动到占位符的位置。举个例子:

<android.support.constraint.Placeholder
        android:id="@+id/placeholder"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        app:content="@+id/textview"
        app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textview"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:background="#cccccc"
        android:padding="16dp"
        android:text="TextView"
        android:textColor="#000000"
        app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />

 

 

新建一个Placeholder约束在屏幕的左上角,新建一个TextView约束在屏幕的右上角,在Placeholder中设置 app:content="@+id/textview",这时TextView会跑到屏幕的左上角。效果如下:

4.5 Guideline

Guildline像辅助线一样,在预览的时候帮助你完成布局(不会显示在界面上)。
Guildline的主要属性:
android:orientation 垂直vertical,水平horizontal
layout_constraintGuide_begin 开始位置
layout_constraintGuide_end 结束位置
layout_constraintGuide_percent 距离顶部的百分比(orientation = horizontal时则为距离左边)
举个例子:

    <android.support.constraint.Guideline
        android:id="@+id/guideline1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="horizontal"
        app:layout_constraintGuide_begin="50dp" />

    <android.support.constraint.Guideline
        android:id="@+id/guideline2"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="vertical"
        app:layout_constraintGuide_percent="0.5" />

guideline1为水平辅助线,开始位置是距离顶部50dp,guideline2位垂直辅助线,开始位置为屏幕宽的0.5(中点位置),效果如下:


5.总结

本篇文章主要介绍了ConstraintLayout和它在布局文件里的用法,和一些辅助ConstraintLayout布局的工具,跟着敲一遍就能学会ConstraintLayout。除此之外,ConstraintLayout还有一个独立的编辑器,只需要托拉拽就可以完成整个布局,但我个人比较喜欢直接用代码写,就不介绍了,有兴趣的可以参考https://blog.csdn.net/guolin_blog/article/details/53122387
