I have a XML layout for a ViewHolder inside a RecyclerView.
This layout's root is a ConstraintLayout whose height is set to wrap_content.
Inside this flat hierarchy there are 3 textviews and an image view with a fixed height; think of:
<ConstraintLayout>
<TextView height=wrap>
<TextView height=wrap>
<TextView height=wrap>
<ImageView height=150dp>
</ConstraintLayout>
It's a relatively simple layout. In beta4 this is how it looks in the Designer (and eventually at runtime, each recyclerView cell):
Apologies for the "red tape" but it's NDA blah blah.
That being said, the elements are:
The 3 text views (red taped with a nice purple background) The ImageView with 150dp height is the gray thing.
The Purple background was applied to the root ConstraintLayout. All nice.
Now this is how it looks, without a single modification with Beta 5:
As you can see the Purple (root) Constraint Layout is now "confused" and doesn't wrap content as it used to.
Things I tried:
Adding
app:layout_constraintHeight_default="wrap"to the ConstraintLayout (and spread too). Didn't make a difference.The ImageView has a
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"constraint that I tried removing, didn't make a difference either.Revert back to beta4 :)
For the record, this is the full layout (id's have been renamed for red-tape reasons and no tools:text or similar due to the same reasons). The layout is otherwise exactly the same.

Am I supposed to do something different? (I know I can replace this with a RelativeLayout and probably do the same, but anyway… I believe in ConstraintLayout!) :)
