Over the past few weeks I've been learning to use the RecyclerView
. I need to implement a horizontal list, ie, that by turning the device in landscape mode like so:
I found the best solution for this (how to create the horizontal displacement of RecyclerView
, here), but encountered another problem. The item RecyclerView
was larger than the height of the device (in landscape, horizontal), so I need to create a vertical and horizontal displacement, simultaneously.
I looked at the Android Developer methods for the LayoutManager
class, but my skills are not high enough to understand most of the methods. I also tried putting a RecyclerView
vertically inside another RecyclerView
horizontally with all the content, but I get error:
IllegalStateException: RecyclerView has no LayoutManager
To rememedy this I removed all <View ... />
elements from the XML file, but this does not give any results.
To clarify what I am asking: is it possible to have my layout scroll both horizontally and vertically, and if you could explain how I would appreciate it.
I was so angry about all the problems that had tended with the application that had not thought about the easiest solution.
In a RecyclerView
consists of two XML files, the main one where the RecyclerView is declared and another with content.
The simplest solution was to introduce the RecyclerView
within a ScrollView
. So I can move all items at a time thanks to ScrollView
vertically and horizontally I can move the items thanks to RecyclerView
in landscape mode.
