ConstraintLayout max width percentage

Question

I've been experimenting with ConstraintLayout, is there a way to set the max width of a view to a percentage of the parent (and a height of match constraint and dimension ratio of 1:1)?

Here is the code without using max width:

<?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">

   <FrameLayout
      android:id="@+id/frameLayout3"
      android:layout_width="0dp"
      android:layout_height="259dp"
      android:layout_marginEnd="8dp"
      android:layout_marginStart="8dp"
      android:background="@android:color/black"
      app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
      app:layout_constraintHorizontal_bias="0.0"
      app:layout_constraintStart_toEndOf="@+id/imageView"
      app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"/>

   <ImageView
      android:id="@+id/imageView"
      android:layout_width="0dp"
      android:layout_height="0dp"
      android:src="@android:drawable/ic_menu_add"
      app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="@+id/frameLayout3"
      app:layout_constraintDimensionRatio="1:1"
      app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
      app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
      app:layout_constraintWidth_percent="0.3"/>

</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>

This is the result:

Tablet:

Phone:

Answer 1

I achieved the max width percentage using two attributes:

app:layout_constraintWidth_max="wrap"
app:layout_constraintWidth_percent="0.4" 

Example:

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/textView2"
    android:layout_width="0dp"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_marginStart="8dp"
    android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
    android:text="Helo world"
    android:textAlignment="viewStart"
    app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintWidth_max="wrap"
    app:layout_constraintWidth_percent="0.4" />

The text width will increase to 40% of parent and then wrap if the content exceeds that.

If I'm understanding your problem right then You're almost there. I think you're giving frameLayout static height that's why it is not giving the appropriate result on tablet.. because you set the height according to phone preview. What you need to do is make the height of frameLayout relative to imageView.. so when imageView grows in size the frameLayout also grows with it.

I think you should do something like this

<?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">

    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/imageView"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="0dp"
        android:src="@android:drawable/ic_menu_add"
        app:layout_constraintDimensionRatio="1:1"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintWidth_percent="0.3" />    

    <FrameLayout
        android:id="@+id/frameLayoutTwo"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="0dp"
        android:background="@android:color/black"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="@+id/imageView"
        app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toEndOf="@+id/imageView"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" /> 

</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>

I checked and this gives the same result in phone and tablet. Correct me if I misunderstood your problem.
