summary

Shows how ConstraintLayout (introduced at I/O 2016) replaces deep view hierarchies, supports API 9+ via a Gradle dependency, and uses a constraint solver (inspired by iOS) to measure views. Demonstrates concrete features: match_constraint vs fixed vs wrap_content arrows, bias, guidelines, chains, baseline alignment, groups, and dimension ratio for ImageView aspect ratios. Claims improved orientation/multi-resolution handling and easier animations; demo lab works but the live demo machine fails.
