Android Material CardView with ConstraintLayout clip child not working

Question

I want to overlap (take half the image outside) of the card view. The ShapeableImageView is a child of the card view.

I have tried adding clipChilder="false" on card view as well as on the child constraint layout but no luck. I also tried the same in runtime again no luck.

I have tried out without MaterialCardView but the result is the same. I have no idea why it is not working.

It won't work with LinearLayout too :(

Add `android:clipChildren="false"` to your top-level _ConstraintLayout_ and remove it elsewhere. The inner layout is only too happy to draw outside the box. It is the top-level group that is clipping its children. — Cheticamp, Mar 18 '20 at 12:22
That option is not working too. I wonder it a bug, or is this the way it is? — Code Lover, Mar 20 '20 at 05:00
I have tried using `constraintlayout` as a root layout instead of `ScrollView` and that seems working if I have something like `ConstraintLayout > ConstraintLayout > ImageView` but in the first structure I shared in question, that didn't make any difference if I add `clipChildren` to the parent constraint layout or even scrollview — Code Lover, Mar 20 '20 at 05:18

In my case you can add this to MaterialCardView xml file

android:outlineProvider="none"

Alright, so after trying so many different ways, finally found the solution.

In my case, I have an image wrapped by a card view, and the card view is inside a constraint layout. So here I have to set android:clipChildren="false" for both views, ConstraintLayout the parent and the CardView a child. See the final code below.
