Sep 6, 2023 11:16AM

ConstraintLayout version: constraintlayout-compose:1.1.0-alpha12
Jetpack Compose version: 1.6.0-alpha04
Jetpack Compose component used: ConstraintLayout
Android Studio Build: Android Studio Giraffe | 2022.3.1 Build #AI-223.8836.35.2231.10406996, built on June 29, 2023 Runtime version: 17.0.6+0-17.0.6b829.9-10027231 aarch64 VM: OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM by JetBrains s.r.o.
Kotlin version: 1.9.10
Material Version: material3:1.2.0-alpha06

This is a regression issue, latest version of constraintlayout-compose which worked well: 1.1.0-alpha05

Steps to Reproduce or Code Sample to Reproduce:

Create a ConstraintLayout with 2 ComposeViews inside
Show one ComposeView or another depending on a flag
Change visibility of these views depending on this flag (visibility = if (!detailVisible) Visibility.Gone else Visibility.Visible)
The ComposeView not visible the first time with the width = Dimension.fillToConstraints property causes the other ComposeView not to be shown on the screen

Sample Code

@Composable
fun MainContent() {
    var detailVisible by rememberSaveable { mutableStateOf(false) }
    ConstraintLayout(
        modifier = Modifier
            .padding(16.dp)
            .fillMaxSize()
            .clickable { detailVisible = !detailVisible },
    ) {
        val (titleRef, detailRef) = createRefs()
        Text(
            text = "Text 1 - Detail",
            modifier = Modifier.constrainAs(detailRef) {
                start.linkTo(parent.start)
                width = Dimension.fillToConstraints
                visibility = if (!detailVisible) Visibility.Gone else Visibility.Visible
            },
        )
        Text(
            text = "Text 2",
            modifier = Modifier
                .constrainAs(titleRef) {
                    width = Dimension.fillToConstraints
                    visibility = if (detailVisible) Visibility.Gone else Visibility.Visible
                },
        )
    }
}

Here you can find a sample project to reproduce it: https://github.com/jarroyoesp/ConstraintLayoutIssue

And this issue just happens in case we use Visibility.Gone. If we use Visibility.Invisible it works well.

Temporary Fix

We find a possible fix. If we only set width to Dimension.fillToConstraints and in other case we set to Dimension.wrapContent, all the ComposeViews are shown when is their time.

Text(
    text = ...,
    modifier = Modifier.constrainAs(detailRef) {
        ....
        width = if (!detailVisible) Dimension.wrapContent else Dimension.fillToConstraints
        visibility = if (!detailVisible) Visibility.Gone else Visibility.Visible
    },
)

Fix Measure/Layout pass handling in ConstraintLayout 
 
ConstraintLayout was not properly handling Measurable/Placeable lifecycle. 
 
As different passes are made with different instances, improper upkeep can result in issues, such as Composables not being placed.

Thanks for fixing!. This was preventing us to update the libraries without adding quite a few workarounds. Will this be released as a new stable version soon?
