Here is the layout for each item

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">

<android.support.v7.widget.CardView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_margin="8dp"
    android:id="@+id/cardView">

    <LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/locationItemView"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="horizontal">

        <ImageView
            android:layout_width="120px"
            android:layout_height="120px"
            android:id="@+id/imgIcon"
            android:background="@drawable/image_bg"
            android:layout_margin="5dp"
            android:scaleType="fitCenter"
            android:adjustViewBounds="true" />

        <LinearLayout
            android:id="@+id/layoutInfo"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="fill_parent"
            android:orientation="vertical">

            <TextView
                android:id="@+id/txtName"
                android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:text="Location Name"
                android:textColor="#d5c645"
                android:textStyle="bold"
                android:textSize="20dp"
                android:padding="3dp" />

            <TextView
                android:id="@+id/txtAddress"
                android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:text="Location Address"
                android:textSize="16dp"
                android:padding="3dp" />

            <TextView
                android:id="@+id/txtDistance"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="fill_parent"
                android:text="Location Distance"
                android:textSize="14dp"
                android:textStyle="italic"
                android:padding="2dp"
                android:textAlignment="viewEnd" />
        </LinearLayout>
    </LinearLayout>
</android.support.v7.widget.CardView>

and the main_layout

<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
android:id="@+id/drawer_layout"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">


<LinearLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical">

    <fragment xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
        xmlns:map="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="0px" android:id="@+id/map" tools:context=".Main"
        android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"
        android:layout_weight=".6"/>

    <android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
        android:id="@+id/locationList"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="0px"
        android:layout_weight=".4"
        android:divider="#FEFFCC"
        android:dividerHeight="1dp" />

</LinearLayout>

<ListView
    android:id="@+id/navdrawer"
    android:layout_width="250px"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_gravity="start"
    android:background="?attr/colorPrimaryDark"
    android:choiceMode="singleChoice"
    android:divider="@android:color/white"
    android:dividerHeight="1dp"
    android:drawSelectorOnTop="false"/>
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>

Hope anyone can help me. I am stuck with it for 3 days. Thank you.

==================================== Edit on 19/11/15 I don't thing the problem is my itemView layout because when I change it to GridLayout it still doesn't fill the width. Here is my CustomAdapter for RecyclerView

public class LocationDetailsAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<LocationDetailsViewHolder> {
    Context _context;
    ArrayList<LocationDetails> _data;

    public LocationDetailsAdapter(Context _context, ArrayList<LocationDetails> _object) {
        this._context = _context;
        _data = _object;
    }

    @Override
    public LocationDetailsViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup viewGroup, int i) {
        View _v = LayoutInflater.from(viewGroup.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.list_location,null );
        LocationDetailsViewHolder _viewHolder = new LocationDetailsViewHolder(_v);

        return _viewHolder;
    }

    @Override
    public void onBindViewHolder(LocationDetailsViewHolder locationDetailsViewHolder, int i) {
        LocationDetails _location = _data.get(i);
        locationDetailsViewHolder._imgType.setImageResource(R.drawable.repair_img);
        locationDetailsViewHolder._locationName.setText(_location.get_locationName());
        locationDetailsViewHolder._locationAddress.setText(_location.get_locationAddress() + ", " + _location.get_district() + ", " + _location.get_province());
        locationDetailsViewHolder._distance.setText(String.valueOf(_location.get_distance()) + " km");

        locationDetailsViewHolder._locationName.setOnClickListener(clickListener);
        locationDetailsViewHolder._imgType.setOnClickListener(clickListener);
        locationDetailsViewHolder._locationAddress.setOnClickListener(clickListener);

locationDetailsViewHolder._locationName.setTag(locationDetailsViewHolder);
        locationDetailsViewHolder._imgType.setTag(locationDetailsViewHolder);
        locationDetailsViewHolder._locationAddress.setTag(locationDetailsViewHolder);
}

    @Override
    public int getItemCount() {
        return (null != _data ? _data.size() : 0);
    }

    View.OnClickListener clickListener = new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            LocationDetailsViewHolder _holder = (LocationDetailsViewHolder)v.getTag();
            int _pos = _holder.getPosition();

            int _id = _data.get(_pos).get_id();

            Intent _intent = new Intent(CommonFields._context, ItemView.class);
            _intent.putExtra("LocationID",_id);
            _intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
            CommonFields._context.startActivity(_intent);
        }
    };
}

and here I get RecylerView in main

_locationView = (RecyclerView)findViewById(R.id.locationList);
_locationView.setLayoutManager(new LinearLayoutManager(this));
_adapter = new LocationDetailsAdapter(Main.this, CommonFields._locationData);
_locationView.setAdapter(_adapter);

Solution

  • When inflating a View from a LayoutInflater, you need to pass a parent parameter in order for layout_* attributes to be used. That's because these attributes need to create the correct LayoutParams class. That means that you can't use inflate(R.layout.*, null), but must instead pass a ViewGroup for the second parameter. In most cases, you also want to use the three-parameter version of the method and pass false as the third parameter. If this is omitted or true then the View is immediately added to the parent, which causes problems in places like onCreateViewHolder() because the framework is designed to perform this operation later instead. For more details, see this answer.

    In your case, you have the line

     View _v = LayoutInflater.from(viewGroup.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.list_location,null );
    

    You should change it to

     View _v = LayoutInflater.from(viewGroup.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.list_location, viewGroup, false );
