I have a recylcerView inside a Table(Row)Layout, inside a NestedScrollView, all of them have the attribute layout_width set to match_parent. I had the problem that the scrolling of recyclerView didn't work but when trying to get the scrolling done (with NestedScrollView) I figured out that this wasn't the real problem. The problem is the width of my horizontally recylcerView that expands the device widht. I only figured it out, because the row above my recyclerView doesn't display the text correct.
The following image shows the behaviour of RV and the textRow above screenshot
the image to the left: here you can see that the text in the text row above is missing "h word"
the image marked with 2: this is the expected output.
I only achieve the desired "correct" size, if I set layout_width of the recyclerview to "200dp". But I don't want a fixed size (due to different devices).
I tried setting the layout_width of the RV dynamically with the following code without success:
LinearLayoutManager llm = new LinearLayoutManager(this.getContext(), LinearLayoutManager.HORIZONTAL, false);
mRecyclerViewAttachments.setLayoutManager(llm);
ViewGroup.LayoutParams params = mRecyclerViewAttachments.getLayoutParams();
int newWidth = (int) (params.width * 0.9);
mRecyclerViewAttachments.setLayoutParams(params);
Can anyone help me how to fix this? Below is the complete layout xml of the dialog (the RV comes at last):
