Advanced ConstraintLayout by Nicolas Roard and John Hoford

We introduced a new flexible layout for Android at Google IO'16, ConstraintLayout. This talk will cover the current state of ConstraintLayout, detail new features since added, common use cases and best practices to use it in your application.

28:45 Where is the TextView in the left layout? It has to be in there somewhere, right? Because otherwise it won't appear in the alternative layout.

In every tutorial its mentioned that ConstraintLayout can replace nested layouts to flat structure. But, nowhere its really shown. How about of controls, placed inside other controls, such as inside panel with visible bevel, border or background image. How about splitting complex UI into user defined controls, which of them is defined in its own file. How about scrolling of items - need nesting, right?

Very interesting. But Roard speaks so quickly I'm having difficulty understanding him.
