I have the following resource (message_item.xml) which is a ConstraintLayout where I set the layout_gravity to “left”

<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout ...
    android:id="@+id/cl_id"
    android:layout_gravity="left"
    ... >

In summary, I am trying to change the value to “right” during runtime from an adapter class.

I tried retreiving the layout parameters but that didn’t help.

var conLayout : ConstraintLayout = holder.itemView.findViewById<ConstraintLayout>(R.id.cl_id)
var layparms : LayoutParams = conLayout.layoutParams

Android Studio and the Android documentation for ConstraintLayout shows me no option for “layout_gravity”.

Am I missing something or is it just not implemented?

Thank you
