How can I make the width of MaterialTextView wrap_content but no larger than MaterialButton in ConstraintLayout?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.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="wrap_content"
    tools:ignore="HardcodedText">

    <com.google.android.material.textview.MaterialTextView
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_margin="5dp"
        android:text="abcdefghijklmn"
        android:textSize="17.5sp"
        app:layout_constraintEnd_toStartOf="@id/btn"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />

    <com.google.android.material.button.MaterialButton
        android:id="@+id/btn"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_margin="5dp"
        android:text="do something"
        app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />

</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>

I did that in XML above, But the MaterialTextView Not wrap_content it seems like match_parent.

I watched this question and that was not helpful for me or maybe I missed something.

To set the width of MaterialTextView to wrap to its content but no larger than MaterialButton you need to add the below attributes in your MaterialTextView xml layout: android:layout_width="wrap_content", app:layout_constrainedWidth="true" and app:layout_constraintHorizontal_bias="0".

Example is like the below:

<com.google.android.material.textview.MaterialTextView
   android:layout_width="wrap_content"
   android:layout_height="wrap_content"
   android:layout_margin="5dp"
   android:text="Small Text"
   android:background="@color/teal_200"
   android:textSize="17.5sp"
   app:layout_constrainedWidth="true"
   app:layout_constraintHorizontal_bias="0"
   app:layout_constraintEnd_toStartOf="@id/btn"
   app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
   app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />
