Android studio ConstraintLayout resizing problem

Question

I'm pretty new in Android Studio and I'm facing a problem with ConstraintLayout. Namely, I'm trying to make my app fully responsive and while the width of my components perfectly adjusts to any screen size, I have no clue how to make the height to adjust the same way. Instead, my layout goes vertically off the screen.

I would like the layout to fit perfectly any screen size.

I think your constraints weren't connected properly with the views in your xml file.

Try this, I have modified your xml code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
