No 'match_parent' option, only 'match_constraint' which gives it the value of 0dp.

For layout_width on the titleImageView I am only given the options; none, match_constraint and wrap_content.

There is no option for match_parent. When selecting match_constraint, the closest option to match_parent, it sets the value to 0dp.

The layout_width options for ConstraintLayout do include a match_parent option, but this is set as default and does not affect the titleImageView.

I am using Android Studio 3.0.1

Don't worry.

I have found a way around this.

If I set the layout_width and layout_height for titleImageView both to match_constraint using the design window. I then go into the text window and find where it has added 'android:layout_width="0dp"' and 'android:layout_height="0dp"'. And change the '0dp' values to 'match_parent'. I then checked to make sure that 'android:scaleType' was set to 'centerCrop'.

Is there is a better way to do this please let me know.
