ConstraintLayout: placing an element outside the layout.
Placing an element outside of the layout using percentage dimensions.
Nov 24, 2020
XML.
Key point: to use percentages, you must use ConstraintLayout.
To place an element outside the layout, you need to set layout_width and layout_height as 0 and layout_constraintWidth_percent as 0.999, just like that, 1 will not work.
And depending on which side of the markup you need to place the element, use:
LEFT -> layout_constraintEnd_toStartOf.
RIGHT -> layout_constraintStart_toEndOf.
TOP -> layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf.
BOTTOM -> layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf.
