I have the following card in layout:
<android.support.v7.widget.CardView
android:id="@+id/card1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_marginBottom="6dp">
<RelativeLayout
android:id="@+id/content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<TextView
android:id="@+id/label"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<!-- [a RecyclerView as list with LinearLayout as header] -->
<include
android:id="@+id/table"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_above="@+id/total_label"
android:layout_below="@id/label"
android:layout_marginBottom="4dp"
android:layout_marginTop="4dp" />
<!-- [a LinearLayout with 2 TextViews] -->
<include
android:id="@+id/total_label"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" />
</RelativeLayout>
</android.support.v7.widget.CardView>
What I try to achieve is to click on label TextView and hide the other content from the card (let visible only its label component). Again, by clicking further the label expand the hidden content. I can do that if I set explicitly the height of the card i.e. 400dp, BUT that way if the containing RecyclerView used as list have not many items (which all are the same height and fixed) there is much empty space. How can the card wrap its content? (When I use wrap_content in layout_height of the card only the label is visible).
This is the click handler for the card:
card.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Resources r = getResources();
if (toggle) {
tableContainer.setVisibility(View.GONE);
totalLabel.setVisibility(View.GONE);
LinearLayout.LayoutParams params = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
float pxTopMargin = TypedValue.applyDimension(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_DIP, getResources().getDimension(R.dimen.card_list_margin_top), r.getDisplayMetrics());
params.topMargin = (int) pxTopMargin;
card.setLayoutParams(params);
card.setVisibility(View.GONE);
card.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
} else {
tableContainer.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
totalLabel.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
float pxHeight = TypedValue.applyDimension(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_DIP, 400, r.getDisplayMetrics());
LinearLayout.LayoutParams params = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, (int) pxHeight);
float pxTopMargin = TypedValue.applyDimension(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_DIP, getResources().getDimension(R.dimen.card_list_margin_top), r.getDisplayMetrics());
params.topMargin = (int) pxTopMargin;
params.bottomMargin = (int) pxTopMargin;
card.setLayoutParams(params);
card.setVisibility(View.GONE);
card.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
}
toggle = !toggle;
}
});
SOLUTION
ok the problem actually was to create list using RecyclerView that has the property:
A specific number of rows to be visible (i.e. 15) and if lower then wrap its content
I found from other SO thread (comment by se.solovyev) a custom linear layout and edited a little. The result was satisfying (although I don't actually know if did something really bad in there, but works).
package com.trafficbroker.trafficbroker.views;
import android.content.Context;
import android.graphics.Rect;
import android.support.v4.view.ViewCompat;
import android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.View;
import java.lang.reflect.Field;
/**
* {@link android.support.v7.widget.LinearLayoutManager} which wraps its content. Note that this class will always
* wrap the content regardless of {@link android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView} layout parameters.
* <p/>
* Now it's impossible to run add/remove animations with child views which have arbitrary dimensions (height for
* VERTICAL orientation and width for HORIZONTAL). However if child views have fixed dimensions
* {@link #setChildSize(int)} method might be used to let the layout manager know how big they are going to be.
* If animations are not used at all then a normal measuring procedure will run and child views will be measured during
* the measure pass.
