        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="@+id/rycMail" />
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>

TextView called rycDesc is a long text and i want it to break into new line if it reached its margin left and right. Right now its going beyond its constrains and over ImageView. How can i make it break line after it reaches his contrains?
