How do you display a list of item that is very large on one side (either horizontally / vertically), and allow it to be freely scrolled / dragged - like Google Sheets?
I've tried using a NestedScrollView
with a RecyclerView
, but you can only scroll in one direction at a time, and I need it to be able to be freely dragged around (no pinch / zoom functionality is required, but if it can be done it's a bonus).
Here's a GIF of what I've tried, it works but it's definitely not what I'm looking for.
This is the layout file:
<?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"
android:orientation="vertical">
<include
layout="@layout/include_toolbar"
android:id="@+id/toolbar" />
<android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
android:id="@+id/recycler_biscroll"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView>
</LinearLayout>
I finally got an answer: Use a custom LayoutManager implementation.
I removed the outer ScrollView
, added FixedGridLayoutManager
on my code, then used it as the RecyclerView's layout manager:
FixedGridLayoutManager layoutManager = new FixedGridLayoutManager();
layoutManager.setTotalColumnCount(adapter.getItemCount()); // This probably needs to update when item count is changed
recyclerView.setLayoutManager(layoutManager);
