ConstraintSet.createHorizontalChain IllegalArgumentException: must have 2 or more widgets in a chain

Question

I'm facing an error while setting a horizontal chain constrain using ConstraintLayout:

E/AndroidRuntime: FATAL EXCEPTION: main
    Process: me.optimize.debug, PID: 18532
    java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{me.optimize.debug/me.optimize.post.PostActivity}: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: must have 2 or more widgets in a chain

        at android.support.constraint.ConstraintSet.createHorizontalChain(ConstraintSet.java:1005)

I'm basically adding the constraint like:

set.createHorizontalChain(buttonA.id, ConstraintSet.LEFT, buttonC.id, ConstraintSet.RIGHT, arrayOf(buttonA.id, buttonB.id, buttonC.id).toIntArray(), arrayOf(0f, 0f).toFloatArray(), 0)

I have more than 2 widgets because I'm passing buttonA, buttonB and buttonC.

Answer 1

Well, while writing my question I decided to look into the android.support.constraint.ConstraintSet.createHorizontalChain code that I found on GitHub and guess what:

The array of chainIds and weights need to be the same!
