RecyclerView in ConstraintLayout overlapping other elements
You are using android:layout_height="wrap_content"
for RecyclerView
but it's looks like you need to limit height. Try it with android:layout_height="0dp"
. In this case it is equals to app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/search_text"
and app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
For some reason adding proper constraints and setting height as 0dp
did not work for me(Even though it should work for most of the cases)
So I added a frame layout as the parent of the recycler view and set the height and width of recycler view as match_parent
added the constraints to the frame layout.
This stopped the overlapping issue
I had the exact same problem, and adding
app:layout_constrainedHeight="true"
to the RecyclerView solved it.
try following, you have to set topConstraint
of recyclerview
to edittext
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<EditText
android:id="@+id/search_text"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginEnd="8dp"
android:layout_marginStart="8dp"
android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
android:hint="search by tag..."
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />
<ProgressBar
android:id="@+id/gallery_progress"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginBottom="8dp"

android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/search_text" />
<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
android:id="@+id/gallery_list"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="8dp"
android:layout_marginEnd="8dp"
android:layout_marginStart="8dp"
android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/search_text" />
<TextView
android:id="@+id/gallery_error"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginBottom="8dp"
android:layout_marginEnd="8dp"
android:layout_marginStart="8dp"
android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/search_text"
tools:text="error" />
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>
