The list view item for my RecyclerView are in a ConstraintLayout. The ConstraintLayout width is set to match_parent. The list view item has two TextViews and two buttons. The buttons have fixed widths but the TextViews’ width are defined by layout_constraintHorizontal_weight. They display as I intend in the Layout Editor but when I run the app the TextViews are collapsed down to zero width. The Layout Inspector shows the ConstraintLayouts’ layout_width is set to wrap_content, even though it was set to match_parent at design time.

Recyclerview.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" >

    <androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView
        android:id="@+id/recyclerview"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:background="@color/lightestMoneyGreen"
        android:paddingHorizontal="4dp"/>
</LinearLayout>
