CardView in ConstraintLayout Not Wrapping Height

CardView in ConstraintLayout Not Wrapping Height.

Facing the similar issue with stable CL library:

compile 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.0.2'

Android Studio: 2.3.2

Observations:

Setting hardcoded cardview-height fixes the issue.
Changing CardView with RelativeLayout fixes.

Is there still an issue with Cardview that it is finding hard to cope up with ConstraintLayout.

To make CardView wrap content represented by ConstraintLayout, you have to add 3 chains to views inside ConstraintLayout:

Horizontal spread chain between mobLeftIcon and mobInputLayout
Horizontal spread chain between phoneLeftIcon and phoneInputLayout
Vertical spread chain between mobInputLayout and phoneInputLayout

See this screenshot of Layout Editor:

Here's the final source code for your layout:

<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <android.support.v7.widget.CardView
        android:id="@+id/cardView"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
        android:layout_marginStart="8dp"
        android:layout_marginEnd="8dp"
        android:layout_marginBottom="8dp"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent">

        <android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content">

            <ImageView
                android:id="@+id/mobLeftIcon"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
                android:layout_marginStart="16dp"
                android:layout_marginBottom="8dp"
                app:srcCompat="@drawable/ic_up"
                app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="@+id/mobInputLayout"
                app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
                app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="@+id/mobInputLayout"
                app:layout_constraintEnd_toStartOf="@+id/mobInputLayout"
                app:layout_constraintHorizontal_chainStyle="spread" />

            <android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout

                android:layout_width="0dp"

                android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
                android:layout_marginStart="16dp"
                android:layout_marginEnd="8dp"
                app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
                app:layout_constraintStart_toEndOf="@+id/mobLeftIcon"
                app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
                app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="@+id/phoneInputLayout"
                app:layout_constraintVertical_chainStyle="spread">

                <EditText
                    android:id="@+id/editText4"
                    android:layout_width="match_parent"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:hint="Mobile Number"
                    android:text="123123123" />
            </android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>

            <ImageView
                android:id="@+id/phoneLeftIcon"

                app:layout_constraintEnd_toStartOf="@+id/phoneInputLayout"
                app:layout_constraintHorizontal_chainStyle="spread" />

            <android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
                android:id="@+id/phoneInputLayout"
                android:layout_width="0dp"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
                android:layout_marginStart="16dp"
                android:layout_marginEnd="8dp"
                app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/mobInputLayout"
                app:layout_constraintStart_toEndOf="@+id/phoneLeftIcon"
                app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
                app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent">

                <EditText
                    android:id="@+id/editText5"
                    android:layout_width="match_parent"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:hint="Telphone Number"
                    android:text="123123123" />

            </android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>

        </android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>

    </android.support.v7.widget.CardView>

</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>

As a result, you get something like:

 <android.support.v7.widget.CardView
        android:id="@+id/cardView"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="122dp"

You can use the height as 0dp and use the line

        app:layout_constraintHeight_default="wrap"
