        android:paddingLeft="5dp"
        android:paddingRight="5dp"

Solution

  • LinearLayout doesn't support the concept of wrapping to the next line if something wouldn't fit.

    For a small number of fixed items, the best solution is probably to use one of the many "FlowLayout" libraries available when you do a google search.

    For a large number of items (or items that you don't know about at design time), you can use RecyclerView with a GridLayoutManager.
