Center RecycleView in Parent - Android

Question

I am following a tutorial on grid layout. In particular, I am replicating Suragch's answer.

The code itself is working fine, except I would like to center the RecyclerView in the activity.

I've tried

android:gravity="center"

and

android:layout_gravity="center"

on both the RelativeLayout AND RecyclerView, but neither works.

Also, I would like to eliminate the gaps between each column. Does anyone know how to go about doing this?

You should try adding gravity in adapter of your recyclerView, Please check my answer for the reference. — bhuvnesh pattnaik, Jul 27 '19 at 07:07

Depending on your parent Layout

If its RelativeLayout then

android:layout_centerHorizontal=true in RecyclerView

if its LinearLayout then

android:layout_gravity=center_horizontal in RecyclerView

One more interesting thing you can do in Adapter

the main parent Layout in adapter

try doing this

android:gravity=center_horizontal in main layout of adapter
