Align ListView with other View

I have an EditText, which gets aligned with other TextView below it.

enter image description here

But as soon as I add ListView, and try to Left align with plain text at the top the width and location of the EditText and TextView fields below it changes.

Also, if I try to use another Linear Layout instead of a ListView I face the same issue. What wrong could I be doing here?

I have tried setting width and height of listView, to match_contraint, but that did not work too.

enter image description here

Below is the xml for it,

<?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"
    tools:context="com.example.testapp.app">

    <EditText
        android:id="@+id/editText6"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginStart="32dp"
        android:layout_marginTop="16dp"
        android:ems="10"
        android:inputType="textPersonName"
        android:text="Name"
        app:layout_constraintHorizontal_weight="1"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="@+id/listView4"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textView"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
        android:text="TextView"
        app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="@+id/editText6"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="@+id/editText6"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/editText6" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textView3"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
        android:text="TextView"
        app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="@+id/textView"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="@+id/editText6"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/textView" />

    <ListView
        android:id="@+id/listView4"
        android:layout_width="395dp"
        android:layout_height="472dp"
        app:layout_constraintHorizontal_weight="0"
        tools:layout_editor_absoluteX="8dp"
        tools:layout_editor_absoluteY="123dp" />

</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>

I think you put constraints in the wrong direction. So you aligned all TextViews to the start of the EditText. But EditText in its turn is aligned to the start of the ListView.

app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="@+id/listView4"

And as ListView doesn't have aligning, it is positioned at (0, 0), I guess.
