public class ConstraintSet


Defines a set of constraints to be used with ConstraintLayout.

ConstraintSet enables you create and save constraints and apply them to an existing ConstraintLayout. For details about constraint behaviour, see ConstraintLayout.

ConstraintsSet can be created in various ways:

  • Manually — c = new ConstraintSet(); c.connect(...);
  • From an R.layout.* object — c.clone(context, R.layout.layout1);
  • From a ConstraintLayoutc.clone(constraintLayout);

Example code:

import android.content.Context;
     import android.os.Bundle;
     import android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout;
     import android.support.constraint.ConstraintSet;
     import android.support.transition.TransitionManager;
     import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
     import android.view.View;

     public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
         ConstraintSet mConstraintSet1 = new ConstraintSet(); // Create a ConstraintSet.
         ConstraintSet mConstraintSet2 = new ConstraintSet(); // Create a ConstraintSet.
         ConstraintLayout mConstraintLayout; // Cache the ConstraintLayout.
         boolean mOld = true;


         protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
             super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
             Context context = this;
             mConstraintSet2.clone(context, R.layout.state2); // Get constraints from layout.
             setContentView(R.layout.state1);
             mConstraintLayout = (ConstraintLayout) findViewById(R.id.activity_main);
             mConstraintSet1.clone(mConstraintLayout); // Get constraints from ConstraintSet.
         }

         public void foo(View view) {
             TransitionManager.beginDelayedTransition(mConstraintLayout);
             if (mOld = !mOld) {
                 mConstraintSet1.applyTo(mConstraintLayout); // Set new constraints.
             }  else {
                 mConstraintSet2.applyTo(mConstraintLayout); // Set new constraints.
             }
         }
     }

Parameters
int viewId

ID of view to translate in X

float translationX

the translation in X

setTranslationY

Added in 2.2.0-rc01
public void setTranslationY(int viewId, float translationY)

Adjust the post-layout Y translation of a view.

Parameters
int viewId

ID of view to to translate in Y

float translationY

the translation in Y

setTranslationZ

Added in 2.2.0-rc01
public void setTranslationZ(int viewId, float translationZ)

Adjust the translation in Z of a view.

Parameters
int viewId

ID of view to adjust

float translationZ

the translationZ

setValidateOnParse

Added in 2.2.0-rc01
public void setValidateOnParse(boolean validate)

If true perform validation checks when parsing ConstraintSets This will slow down parsing and should only be used for debugging

Parameters
boolean validate

setVerticalBias

Added in 2.2.0-rc01
public void setVerticalBias(int viewId, float bias)

Adjust the vertical bias of the view (used with views constrained on left and right).

Parameters
int viewId

ID of view to adjust the vertical

float bias

the new bias 0.5 is in the middle

setVerticalChainStyle

Added in 2.2.0-rc01
public void setVerticalChainStyle(int viewId, int chainStyle)

How the elements of the vertical chain will be positioned. in a chain, if the dimension behaviour is set to MATCH_CONSTRAINT

  • CHAIN_SPREAD -- the elements will be spread out
  • CHAIN_SPREAD_INSIDE -- similar, but the endpoints of the chain will not be spread out
  • CHAIN_PACKED -- the elements of the chain will be packed together. The vertical bias attribute of the child will then affect the positioning of the packed elements
Parameters
int viewId

ID of view to adjust its VerticalChainStyle

int chainStyle

the weight that we can use to distribute the horizontal space

setVerticalWeight

Added in 2.2.0-rc01
public void setVerticalWeight(int viewId, float weight)

The child's weight that we can use to distribute the available vertical space in a chain, if the dimension behaviour is set to MATCH_CONSTRAINT

Parameters
int viewId

ID of view to adjust its VerticalWeight

float weight

the weight that we can use to distribute the vertical space

setVisibility

Added in 2.2.0-rc01
public void setVisibility(int viewId, int visibility)

Adjust the visibility of a view.

Parameters
int viewId

ID of view to adjust the vertical

int visibility

the visibility

setVisibilityMode

Added in 2.2.0-rc01
public void setVisibilityMode(int viewId, int visibilityMode)

ConstraintSet will not setVisibility. VISIBILITY_MODE_IGNORE or VISIBILITY_MODE_NORMAL.

Parameters
