Advanced ConstraintLayout
summary
ConstraintLayout is a compact (~130KB) Android layout that replaces deep nested Linear/Relative layouts by expressing positions as constraints solved by a linear equation solver with a direct resolution fast path. The Android Studio editor adds infer constraints and visual tools, supports match_constraint (0dp), bias, ratios, chains and guidelines, and exposes ConstraintSet + TransitionManager to animate between saved layouts (including physics-based transitions). The result is faster layout pass, easy responsive UIs, and working keyframe-style animations without recreating views.
