A is baselined to C.
C is then set to GONE.
Is there a way in XML to change A's baseline alignment to B in that scenario? (edited)
Like a
app:gone_baseline="some_other_view_than_this_one"c

Is it possible that both A and C should have some relationship with B so when C is gone A falls back to B?
Barriers sound like another possibile solution https://constraintlayout.com/basics/barriers.html

04/03/2020, 5:22 PMGuidelines work if you want some pre-defined grid (which is typically enough). Barriers are nice when you want two or more views to determine the maximum width/height of an area. I’ve only used barriers a few times though so could be butchering that explanation

04/04/2020, 3:46 AMIt ended up being a more complicated problem then I described and I just ended up manipulating the View's constraints programatically.
