Recycler view with wrap content items horizontal and vertical scroll

Question

hi i want to make a recycler view to take items horizontal as many as the screen fit but with vertical scroll like this image as example

I try with StaggeredGridLayoutManager but it must specify the number of column want the column take as screen size any help will be good

The best option for this kind of layout is to use google flex-layout https://github.com/google/flexbox-layout — Burhanuddin Rashid, Sep 14 '17 at 13:26
I had the same requirement as yours and i achieved it by using this simple one [https://github.com/ApmeM/android-flowlayout](https://github.com/ApmeM/android-flowlayout) — Naz141, Sep 14 '17 at 13:29
You need a `FlowLayout` : https://github.com/blazsolar/FlowLayout — M.Waqas Pervez, Sep 14 '17 at 13:30

What you ask is not easy or even possible with RecyclerView. I would recommend using a simple TableLayout. You do not need to specify columns in TableLayout. — Sergey Emeliyanov, Sep 14 '17 at 13:36

You can use FlexLayoutManager for this kind of design FlexLayout

Here is a example snippet to use FlexLayoutManager in RecycleView

RecyclerView recyclerView = (RecyclerView) context.findViewById(R.id.recyclerview);
FlexboxLayoutManager layoutManager = new FlexboxLayoutManager(context);
layoutManager.setFlexDirection(FlexDirection.COLUMN);
layoutManager.setJustifyContent(JustifyContent.FLEX_END);
recyclerView.setLayoutManager(layoutManager);

Their are many attributes to use FlexLayout Go through the documents on github

As Burhanuddin Rashid commented, you should use the FlexBoxLayout. It has a LayoutManager for RecyclerViews, so the additional code will be minimal. https://github.com/google/flexbox-layout#flexboxlayoutmanager-within-recyclerview
