How to align two TextView's horizontally using the BaseLine Constraint Handle in ConstraintLayout Android

I have read about ConstraintLayout in Android, Now I have TextView's of different sizes , but I want to align the content of two textviews horizontally using the BaseLine Constraint Handle. How to achieve this in xml layout ?

This is my layout.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.constraint.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="match_parent">

   <ImageView
      android:id="@+id/image"
      android:layout_width="wrap_content"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
      android:src="@mipmap/ic_launcher"/>

   <TextView
      android:id="@+id/text1"
      android:layout_width="wrap_content"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
      android:text="Hello World"
      app:layout_constraintLeft_toRightOf="@+id/image"
      app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/image"
      android:layout_marginStart="24dp"
      android:layout_marginLeft="24dp"/>

   <TextView
      android:layout_width="wrap_content"
      android:layout_height="100dp"
      app:layout_constraintLeft_toRightOf="@+id/text1"
      android:textSize="50sp"
      android:text="Big Text"
      android:layout_marginStart="24dp"
      android:layout_marginLeft="24dp" />

</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>

This can be set in the layout editor by dragging the baseline handle of the desired TextView to the baseline of another TextView.

or

This can be set in the xml using the app:layout_constraintBaseline_toBaselineOf attribute 

app:layout_constraintBaseline_toBaselineOf="@+id/text1"
