CircularFlow is a new helper available in ConstraintLayout 2.1 beta 1
Before starting
I would like to recommend to read this documentation about circular references in ConstraintLayout.
What are the helpers?
ConstraintLayout 2.0 presents two new helpers with different purposes; Flow is a combination of Chain and Group that help us to chain the views with dynamic size at runtime. Layer is another helper that helps us when applying transformations such as rotation, translate or scaling multiple views.
What’s CircularFlow?
CircularFlow is a new helper that I have added to ConstraintLayout library (2.1 beta 1) that will help us to resolve circular references easily, it also reduces our lines of code in layouts.
Can I use it in MotionLayout?
Yes, of course 🙂

As an Android Developer for 3 years I have been using ConstraintLayout and all its benefits. Since Google I/O 2019 I have been playing with its evolution called Motion Layout by Nicolas Roard and John Hoford.
MotionLayout is a subclass of ConstraintLayout with a lot of Nitro 🚀 to make really incredible animations in a very simple way.
In this post we will be putting together an animation similar to that of the Tinder App, where you can play with a swipe to the right or left according to your taste.
