How to make recycler view start adding items from center?

Question

I have a recyclerView with "Horziontal Linear Layout" as layout manager.

I want recycler view start adding items from center.
Here is what I want:

enter image description here

And Here is what I am getting:

enter image description here

You can see that in the last image items are added from left. I want it to add items from center as shown in the first three images .

Try and set recyclerviews width based on it's items. (n*itemWidth, n -> the number of items.) — Gent Ahmeti, May 18 '15 at 08:56

i had same issue and solved like this for my horizontal RecyclerView:

    <android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
        android:id="@+id/recyclerView"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="68dp"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:orientation="horizontal"
        app:layoutManager="android.support.v7.widget.LinearLayoutManager" />

Here the main part is android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" and layout_width="wrap_content"

Solved:

How do I make WRAP_CONTENT work on a RecyclerView

This was the solution, I had to enforce the wrap_content for recycler view, So a custom Layout manager worked for me. Hope this will help others:)

The link is dead. Should learn how to use StackOverflow. Do not post links as they can go dead sometime in the future. – Neon Warge Feb 02 '17 at 02:07
