The problem is when the text is long, this bad thing happens:
But I want it to be like this:

You can use Guideline for this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.Guideline
android:id="@+id/guideline1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical"
app:layout_constraintGuide_percent="0.4"/>
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.Guideline
android:id="@+id/guideline2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical"
app:layout_constraintGuide_percent="0.6"/>
<View
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="40dp"
android:background="@android:color/holo_blue_light"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toStartOf="@+id/guideline1"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />
<View
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="40dp"
app:layout_constraintStart_toEndOf="@id/guideline2"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
android:background="@android:color/holo_blue_light"/>
<TextView
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="sjkelf hue hwe fhwefh wehwe hwe hwef "
app:layout_constraintStart_toEndOf="@id/guideline1"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toStartOf="@id/guideline2"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"/>
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
It looks like this:
