I am trying to change the left constraint (guideline) of a view inside my ConstraintLayout on press of a button. My layout XML (relevant parts) looks like this:
<ProgressBar
android:id="@+id/progress_bar"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginBottom="8dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="0dp"
android:layout_marginRight="8dp"
android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
android:indeterminate="true"
android:visibility="gone"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="@+id/guideline_bcrumbs_bottom"
app:layout_constraintHorizontal_bias="0.0"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="@+id/guideline_group_left"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"/>
<android.support.constraint.Guideline
android:id="@+id/guideline_group_left"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical"
app:layout_constraintGuide_percent="0.2"
tools:layout_editor_absoluteY="0dp"
tools:layout_editor_absoluteX="205dp"/>
<android.support.constraint.Guideline
android:id="@+id/guideline_category_left"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical"
app:layout_constraintGuide_percent="0.45"
tools:layout_editor_absoluteY="0dp"
tools:layout_editor_absoluteX="461dp"/>
Here, I want to change the progress bar's constraintLeft_toLeftOf
property from guideline_group_left
to guideline_category_left
dynamically. Is there a way to achieve this?
EDIT:
I have added the following lines to adjust the constraint (based on this link: http://www.techotopia.com/index.php/Managing_Constraints_using_ConstraintSet)
ConstraintSet set = new ConstraintSet();
set.connect(mProgressBar.getId(), ConstraintSet.LEFT, R.id.guideline_category_left, ConstraintSet.LEFT, 0);
set.connect(mProgressBar.getId(), ConstraintSet.RIGHT, ConstraintSet.PARENT_ID, ConstraintSet.RIGHT, 0);
set.applyTo(mConstraintLayout);
However, after these changes, the progress bar does not show up at all. I feel like I am close, but am probably missing something.
EDIT 2
I realized I forgot to add the following line, which is why it did not work.
set.clone(mConstraintLayout);
I managed to solve my issue with the following lines of code, it might help someone else if they face a similar problem.
ConstraintSet set = new ConstraintSet();
set.clone(mConstraintLayout);
set.connect(mProgressBar.getId(), ConstraintSet.LEFT, R.id.guideline_category_left, ConstraintSet.LEFT, 0);
set.connect(mProgressBar.getId(), ConstraintSet.RIGHT, ConstraintSet.PARENT_ID, ConstraintSet.RIGHT, 0);
set.applyTo(mConstraintLayout);
