Layout flickering while using contraintlayout

[PankajSavaliya]

In your RecyclerViewActivity, rv_item is designed with LinearLayout, if you convert them into constraint then pinch to zoom getting flickering even also not working in nested scroll view with constraint layout parent that means this zooming not working with parent constraint.

<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.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="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="vertical">
    <LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/linearLayout2"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent">

        <androidx.appcompat.widget.AppCompatImageView
            android:id="@+id/avatar"
            android:layout_width="44dp"
            android:layout_height="44dp"
            android:layout_marginHorizontal="16dp"
            android:layout_marginVertical="12dp" />

        <androidx.appcompat.widget.AppCompatTextView
            android:id="@+id/name"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:gravity="center"
            android:textColor="@android:color/black"
            android:textSize="18dp"
            android:textStyle="bold" />

    </LinearLayout>

    <androidx.appcompat.widget.AppCompatImageView
        android:id="@+id/image"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/linearLayout2" />

    <androidx.appcompat.widget.AppCompatTextView
        android:id="@+id/text"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_margin="16dp"
        android:layout_marginStart="16dp"
        android:layout_marginEnd="16dp"
        app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/image" />
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>

Solution
have to cover with another layout, but this solution is not a prominent solution.

<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.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="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="vertical">
    <LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/linearLayout2"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent">

        <androidx.appcompat.widget.AppCompatImageView
            android:id="@+id/avatar"
            android:layout_width="44dp"
            android:layout_height="44dp"
            android:layout_marginHorizontal="16dp"
            android:layout_marginVertical="12dp" />

        <androidx.appcompat.widget.AppCompatTextView
            android:id="@+id/name"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:gravity="center"
            android:textColor="@android:color/black"
            android:textSize="18dp"
            android:textStyle="bold" />

    </LinearLayout>

    <!--    Cover with another layout to work as expected-->
    <LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/content"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/linearLayout2">

        <androidx.appcompat.widget.AppCompatImageView
            android:id="@+id/image"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
    </LinearLayout>

    <!--    End-->
    
    <androidx.appcompat.widget.AppCompatTextView
        android:id="@+id/text"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_margin="16dp"
        android:layout_marginStart="16dp"
        android:layout_marginEnd="16dp"
        app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/content" />
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>

Hi,
I'll check it soon

but i believe that this version will only work with LinearLayout and FrameLayout and some other viewGroups (I've tested this lib with a customViewGroup and works perfectly)

• your solution is fine!

Note: you can't set the zoomableView as RecyclerView itemView
It should always have another parent
