How to center multiple Views together using ConstraintLayout?

Question

Background

Answer 1

Take a look at my answer here.

ContraintLayout contains a feature - Chains - that makes it possible to implement what you are asking:

Chains provide group-like behavior in a single axis (horizontally or vertically).

A set of widgets are considered a chain if they a linked together via a bi-directional connection

Once a chain is created, there are two possibilities:

• Spread the elements in the available space
• A chain can also be "packed", in that case the elements are grouped together

As for your case, you'll have to pack your label and description TextViews and center them in you parent vertically:

(make sure you use a version of ConstraintLayout that supports chains)

Now in constraint layout 1.1.3 we must use app:layout_constraintHorizontal_chainStyle="packed" instead of app:layout_constraintVertical_chainPacked="true"
