layout_constraintWidth_default="wrap" is deprecated any alternative?

Question

I was using this layout_constraintWidth_default="wrap" in textview to keep the textview content wrapped(to right of it there is imageview), as the text in textview increases textview area will grow which moves the imageview to right.

layout_constraintWidth_default="wrap"

As it is deprecated any alternatives?

Following are the changes i have made for solution, imageview will not go outside the visible screen area :

android:layout_width="wrap_content"
app:layout_constrainedWidth="true"
app:layout_constraintHorizontal_bias="0"
app:layout_constraintHorizontal_chainStyle="packed"

<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent">

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/text"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="Text asdasdasdasdasdasdasdasdasdadsasdasdasdasdasdasdasd"
            app:layout_constrainedWidth="true"
            app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
            app:layout_constraintEnd_toStartOf="@+id/image"
            app:layout_constraintHorizontal_bias="0"
            app:layout_constraintHorizontal_chainStyle="packed"
            app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
            app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />

        <ImageView
            android:id="@+id/image"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:src="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
            app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
            app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
            app:layout_constraintStart_toEndOf="@+id/text"
            app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />

    </androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>

Answer 2

You can try this:

android:layout_width="wrap_content"
app:layout_constrainedWidth="true"

width cannot be “0dp”

Answer 3

As the documentation says in this link from Android Developers:

In versions before 1.1 they will be treated as a literal dimension -- meaning, constraints will not limit the resulting dimension. While in general, this is enough (and faster), in some situations, you might want to use WRAP_CONTENT, yet keep enforcing constraints to limit the resulting dimension. In that case, you can add one of the corresponding attributes:

app:layout_constrainedWidth="true|false"

Hence, use layout_constrainedWidth="true" instead of layout_constraintWidth_default="wrap".
