Conquering Common Conundrums with ConstraintLayout
summary
ConstraintLayout gets reduced to an actionable toolbox: use 0dp (match_constraint) instead of match_parent, apply baseline alignment for mixed text, prefer barrier and guideline helpers to avoid overlap, toggle constrainedWidth=true to combine wrap_content and constraints, pick chain styles (spread / spread_inside / packed) for spacing, and store layouts in ConstraintSet to swap states and animate with about five lines of code demoed to switch after three seconds; demos consistently render and handle tricky data.
