Horizontal ListView in Android?

Is it possible to make the ListView horizontally? I have done this using a gallery view, but the selected item comes to the center of the screen automatically. I don't want the selected item at the same spot I clicked. How can I rectify this problem? My idea was to set the ListView with a horizontal scroll. Share your idea?

Solution

  • As per Android Documentation RecyclerView is the new way to organize the items in listview and to be displayed horizontally

    Advantages:

    1. Since by using Recyclerview Adapter, ViewHolder pattern is automatically implemented
    2. Animation is easy to perform
    3. Many more features
