Barrier is not functioning as expected for constraint layout android

Question

Looking to achieve this

The corresponding XML is this

<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:background="?android:attr/selectableItemBackground"
    android:orientation="vertical">

        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="@id/barrier_top_strip" />

        tools:text="Sell XRP at Koinex for Rs.25 askdhakjdhakdhakjdhakjdjhakdjakjdahjdkhjadhjak" />
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>

However when the content destText or srcText overflows the barrier_top_strip doesn't prevent it resulting in

What am I doing wrong?

PS: Styles for reference

 <style name="TextLabelArbitrage">
    <item name="android:layout_width">0dp</item>
    <item name="android:layout_height">wrap_content</item>
    <item name="android:fontFamily">@font/medium</item>
    <item name="android:gravity">center</item>
    <item name="android:textSize">10sp</item>
    <item name="android:paddingTop">@dimen/margin_atomic</item>
</style>

<style name="TextContentArbitrage">
    <item name="android:layout_width">0dp</item>
    <item name="android:layout_height">wrap_content</item>
    <item name="android:fontFamily">@font/medium</item>
    <item name="android:gravity">center</item>
    <item name="android:maxLines">2</item>
    <item name="android:ellipsize">end</item>
    <item name="android:textSize">16sp</item>
    <item name="android:paddingBottom">@dimen/margin_atomic</item>
</style>

Answer 1

I resolve all my problems with barriers adding this implementation:

implementation 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:2.0.0-alpha3'

Answer 2

Change the heights of destText and srcText to 0dp. They are now wrap_content. This change should constrain their vertical height to the bounds that you expect.
