2 Recycler Views Within a Linear Layout

Question

I'm having issues with the UI not being properly bound with the recycler view or at least not what I intend to happen. The following image is the two recycler views beside one another. Everything looks fine, but when I run the app, the children within the recycler views extend off-screen. The second image shows that.

You need to divide `Linearlayout` in two part . Set weight to both recycler View accordingly .. Add the xml part with question instead of Images . images does not help in this case . — ADM, May 26 '22 at 07:56
the reason i removed the android studio tag was because it seemed like you were not asking about a feature of the IDE itself and rather just added the tag because you're using the IDE — a_local_nobody, May 26 '22 at 08:16

If you are using one adapter, you can basically use GridLayoutManager for that. So, you can have 2 columns on your recycler view.

To do that with Kotlin code, just add below functionality to your recycler view reference in your fragment or activity.

recyclerView.apply {
   layoutManager = GridLayoutManager(this, 2)
}

Also, there is another way to do that in XML. You can use, app:layoutManager and app:spanCount in your recycler view.

<androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    app:layoutManager="androidx.recyclerview.widget.GridLayoutManager"
    app:spanCount="2" />
