Constraints altering View visibility

Question

Why does void ConstraintSet.applyToInternal(ConstraintLayout constraintLayout); changes the View visibility?

It is not preserving my View visibility. Is there a way to preserve it?

Answer 1

I just noticed that the View visibility is treated as part of the constraints. Set it with

ConstraintSet set = new ConstraintSet();
set.setVisibility(checkIcon.getId(), INVISIBLE);
set.applyTo(container);
