Say I have two views,

A Recycler view:

<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="30dp"
    android:layout_below="@+id/dialog_movie_character"
    android:id="@+id/dialog_movie_horizontal_recycler_view"
    android:orientation="horizontal">

</android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView>

And a text view:

<TextView
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignBottom="@+id/dialog_movie_horizontal_recycler_view"
    android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
    android:textSize="18sp"
    android:textStyle="bold"
    android:text="Add"/>

How can I set the recyclerView's width to match-parent - layout_width of the text view?

Is it possible to do in the xml file?

do yo want recycler view wirth equal to textview/ – Asad Ali Jan 16 '19 at 18:09
It's not. I want to know if I can set the widths in the layout file dynamically. – Cobblestonie Jan 16 '19 at 18:09
I want the Recycler view's width to be the parent width - the width of the text view – Cobblestonie Jan 16 '19 at 18:10
@Cobblestonie Depends on what you have in `recyclerView`. Assuming you have a `CardView` and if `CardView` width it's match_parent then you will reach you goal – Gabriel Costin Jan 16 '19 at 21:13
