Hi, small question regarding

ConstraintLayout

. How can I prevent the text from getting out of bounds as in the screenshot? Constraining the the textend to

parent.end

doesn't seem to work in this case.

Make sure to set

width = Dimension.fillToConstraints

on in the

constrainAs

DSL

Sadly didn't do any difference, though thanks for making me aware of

Dimension.fillToConstraints

.

Also,

ConstraintLayout

is not compatible with other platforms like Desktop, so keep that in mind, it might be desirable to do layout via pure Compose thus making your widget more reusable.

oOooOH! CL is android only? That's a game changer... might have to stick to rows and cols. 😄

You can also write a custom layout, which allows you to do anything you want in terms of layout, and is thus even more flexible than constraint layout. A bit of a learning curve, but well worth it.
