I want to place imageview on the right end in the linear layout horizontal orientation [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/9W8pB.jpg

Answer 1

Very Simple. Please change your layout_width of TextView into 0dp and layout_width of LinearLayout into match_parent. Or add this line into your LinearLayout.

app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"

Answer 2

You can achieve this by setting the width of your linear layout to 0dp. Also you need to add

   app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="@id/item_layout"

to your linear layout in question. Complete code of updated xml is
