The "android:layout_margin" properties do NOT show up in the text file, even tho i created the margins in design view...

I'm at the part where I am grabbing the left circle of the button and attaching it to the left side of the constraint parent. (then grabbing the right circle and dragging it to right side of constraint) I then change the margin from "8" to "0", as instructed in the video. But when i check out the text file , my text does not match the text file shown in the video.

These lines are missing from my text file, so i keep having to type these manually...: android:layout_marginLeft="0dp" android:layout_marginRight="0dp" android:layout_marginTop="0dp"

is there a reason why i have to keep manually entering these lines, instead of it adding automatically?

I have the same issue and running the app on my Samsung galaxy s8 the picture is too far away from the prompt for user input. At the same time, the button is very small at the bottom of the screen.
