I am trying to create a horizontal recycler view with dynamic height by following this stack overflow post. The solution seems working. But the recycler view items disappear when I try to remove an item from recycler view.
recyclerview layout:
<androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView
android:id="@+id/recyclerview"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="20dp"
android:clipToPadding="false"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:paddingStart="13dp"
android:paddingEnd="13dp"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />
Recycler view item layout:
<androidx.cardview.widget.CardView
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginEnd="4dp"
android:layout_marginStart="4dp"
app:cardBackgroundColor="#BCAAAA"
app:cardElevation="2dp">
<TextView
android:padding="36dp"
android:id="@+id/textViewName"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center"
android:textSize="22sp"
tools:text="Test String"/>
</androidx.cardview.widget.CardView>
Activity:
val flexBoxLayoutManager = FlexboxLayoutManager(this, FlexDirection.ROW, FlexWrap.NOWRAP)
with(recyclerView) {
layoutManager = flexBoxLayoutManager
adapter = RecyclerViewAdapter()
setHasFixedSize(false)
}
Adapter:
class ViewHolder(itemView: View) : RecyclerView.ViewHolder(itemView) {
var textViewName: TextView = itemView.findViewById(R.id.textViewName)
init {
updateLayoutParamsToAllowHorizontalScrolling()
}
private fun updateLayoutParamsToAllowHorizontalScrolling() {
(itemView.layoutParams as? FlexboxLayoutManager.LayoutParams)?.let {
it.flexShrink = 0.0f
it.alignSelf = AlignItems.FLEX_START
}
}
}
override fun onBindViewHolder(holder: RecyclerViewAdapter.ViewHolder, position: Int) {
val item = listItems[position]
var msg = "Sample item no:$position "
for(i in 0..position){
msg += "dynamic content \n"
}
holder.textViewName.text = msg
holder.itemView.setOnClickListener {
val pos = listItems.indexOf(item)
listItems.removeAt(pos)
notifyItemRemoved(pos)
}
}
A screen recording of the output:
Is there any way to fix this issue? Or Are there any other approach to implement horizontal recyclerveiw with dynamic height?
I have fixed the issue without using FlexBoxLayoutManger
.
Used LinearLayoutManager
with horizontal
orientation and the following code in onBindViewHolder in RecyclerViewAdapter
.
holder.itemView.post {
val wMeasureSpec =
View.MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(holder.itemView.width, View.MeasureSpec.EXACTLY)
val hMeasureSpec = View.MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(0, View.MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED)
holder.itemView.measure(wMeasureSpec, hMeasureSpec)
if (holder.itemView.measuredHeight > holder.itemView.height) {
holder.itemView.layoutParams =
(holder.itemView.layoutParams as ViewGroup.LayoutParams)
.apply {
height = holder.itemView.measuredHeight
}
}
}
