I'm trying to make a ConstraintLayout to replace a regular layout with Relative and Linear layout but I'm having some troubles to center vertically two views inside a cardview.
The below layout file is my current layout that I want to replace.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginEnd="@dimen/main_button_side_margin"
android:layout_marginStart="@dimen/main_button_side_margin"
android:layout_marginTop="@dimen/main_button_top_margin"
android:paddingBottom="2dp"
android:paddingLeft="1dp"
android:paddingRight="1dp"
android:paddingTop="2dp">
<android.support.v7.widget.CardView xmlns:card_view="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="@+id/select_language_button"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:foreground="?android:attr/selectableItemBackground"
card_view:cardBackgroundColor="@android:color/transparent"
card_view:cardCornerRadius="0dp"
card_view:cardElevation="0dp">
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="@drawable/language_stroke"
android:minHeight="80dp">
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/img_language"
android:layout_width="@dimen/main_button_size"
android:layout_height="@dimen/main_button_size"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_marginLeft="@dimen/main_button_icon_margin"
android:layout_marginStart="@dimen/main_button_icon_margin"
android:src="@drawable/ic_language_white_48dp"
android:tint="@color/language_color" />
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginEnd="@dimen/menu_text_margin"
android:layout_marginLeft="@dimen/menu_text_margin"
android:layout_marginRight="@dimen/menu_text_margin"
android:layout_marginStart="@dimen/menu_text_margin"
android:layout_toEndOf="@id/img_language"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginBottom="@dimen/main_button_text_title_margin"
android:text="Text" />
<TextView
android:fontFamily="sec-roboto-light"
android:gravity="start"
android:id="@+id/language_desc"
android:text="description"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
</android.support.v7.widget.CardView>
</FrameLayout>
My current result is below:

The problem is to center textView + textView1 inside cardview. I'm only getting textView centered and textView1 below.
I already tried to "pack vertically" and then "center vertically" both but I'm not getting the result that a LinearLayout (holding the two textsview) achieve when it's android:layout_centerVertical="true" inside the cardview.
I would like to do it with the visual editor instead changing the xml.
I know that the way to achive it is using Chains but I'm not able to do it inside cardview, using layout edit.
Can someone help with some screenshots/screen recorder ?
