Horizontal list view in Android?

Question

Looking for a horizontal list view GUI componnet in Android similar to UICollectionView in iOS. I trid ListView but was not able to set up to scroll it horizontally.

I need only one line, so no grid like multi line 'table'. I know about TableLayout and GridLayout. Which one is more proper for my purpose?

Looking for not a 3rd party solution but a standard Android one without loading in and library.

The GridView with only one row could help you. TableLayout is not attached to an adapter and didn't recycle views the way recycler View does — Alexandre Martin, Jun 27 '16 at 18:56
@AlexandreMartin so it is more or less like in iOS, because `UICollectionView` is also a grid-like approach — János, Jun 27 '16 at 18:57
use the RecyclerView as shown on the question linked by Gennadi — Budius, Jun 27 '16 at 19:10
@AlexandreMartin I tried `GridView` but can not set column number, or if I set it to a heigher number, then cell content will be reduced. Seems horizontal scroll not possible with `GridView`. — János, Jun 28 '16 at 12:13

You should be using the RecyclerLayout, which allows you to specify your own LayoutManager (then you can specify a horizontal one, or a vertical one, or a grid one, or...)

Here is a good SO with a simple example: How to build a Horizontal ListView with RecyclerView?

You can use RecycleView and add horizontal layoutmanager

RecyclerView listView= (RecyclerView)findViewById(R.id.hlistview);

        LinearLayoutManager layoutManager=new LinearLayoutManager(this,LinearLayoutManager.HORIZONTAL,false);
        listView.setLayoutManager(layoutManager);

and in xml

<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
        android:id="@+id/hlistview"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:minHeight="30dp"/>
