In Android RelativeLayout maxWidth doesn't work

I got RelativeLayout in content:

<RelativeLayout 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"
    android:maxWidth="350dp"
    ></RelativeLayout>

android:maxWidth="350dp" doesn't work. With wrap_content for layout_width and layout_height neither works `.

The documentation for RelativeLayout and even ViewGroup doesn't mention an attribute for android:maxWidth. This attribute, as well maxHeight, are instead declared per View, inside of the attrs.xml file of the Android SDK. So, for example the Views TextView, EditText, ImageView and ContraintLayout, all have that attribute, but Spinner does not. You have to implement complex layouts, create custom ViewGroups that support maxWidth/maxHeight or use multiple layout files with dimension modifiers to achieve the same effect.

I realized that maxWidth param for RelativeLayout couldn't and can't work. But it's not recognized as wrong parameter for RelativeLayout by Android Studio UI. Maxwidth param is available for Views and ConstraintLayout so in the solution I will add relative positioning to ConstraintLayout with this documentation .
