Settings text view jumps to top

[iamtodor]

I have an issue with activity_main_done.xml. The lint says that this text view

<TextView
        android:text="@string/settings"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        app:layout_editor_absoluteX="16dp"
        app:layout_editor_absoluteY="238dp"
        android:id="@+id/settingsLabel"
        android:labelFor="@+id/settings"
        app:layout_constraintLeft_creator="1"
        app:layout_constraintBaseline_creator="1"
        tools:layout_editor_absoluteX="16dp"
        tools:layout_editor_absoluteY="241dp"
        app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="@+id/activity_main_done"
        android:layout_marginStart="16dp"
        tools:layout_constraintLeft_creator="0" />

This view is not constrained vertically: at runtime it will jump to the left unless you add a vertical constraint. And here are some behaviour this layout at preview device and at geny motion virtual device

Take a look at Settings, where it places at the preview and where I actually get it at the virtual device. If you need more specific information - feel free to contact me.

I don't want to produce one more issue, so I just leave my problem here.

Your material provides left-right and top-bottom buttons, quote https://codelabs.developers.google.com/codelabs/constraint-layout/index.html#8 : 1.First, drag a TextView from the palette and place it below the settings text view. 2.Use the action to expand the view horizontally to match guidelines. 3.Use the action to expand vertically to fill available vertical space.

But my android studio hasn't it.

Is there something wrong with me?

Thankyou for reporting the issue. This should be fixed with https://github.com/googlecodelabs/constraint-layout/commit/64b7345d0165e12bb7acfc55eebf093f489e9a29

@Iamtodor For the second issue that you mentioned. Is the textview being selected in the UI Builder? Can you please try this and let me know how it goes? Maybe I should add a sentence about ensuring that the textView is selected?

[iamtodor]

Somehow now it works fine, don't know where was the problem
