Autofit grid layout Recyclerview

Autofit grid layout Recyclerview

Recycler view is the powerfull android tool to create a list as well as a grid in android. Nowadays, the Autofit grid layout RecyclerView is trending just because different types of screens are in the market.

Everyone is now familiar with the Grid view with the help of GridLayoutManager. But, there is something silly in this layout manager. This layout manager is not working properly on all types of screens.

So now, this example will give you an amazing trick to creating an autofit grid layout RecyclerView.

What is Recyclerview?

RecyclerView is the powerful tool to draw a list or grid in your android application When RecyclerView is not there then the user needs ListView for the list and GridView for the grid, But now android provides a great tool RecyclerView to draw both with one single view. Android RecyclerView is a more advanced, powerful and flexible version of the ListView. Android RecyclerView is similar to ListView.

What is Cardview?

As with material design, a new view was introduced through the support v7 library, called CardView. We will show you how Android CardView can be implemented in a RecyclerView list. Android CardView provides a more advanced and flexible way of implementing complex and custom listview with more functionality that is required for your apps.

AutoFit Gridview

Autofit Recyclerview is used to show the number of a column which can be auto adjust with screen size. We extend RecyclerView to get access to its width. As for the width of each item, when GridView has android:numColumns="auto_fit", it uses android: column width to compute the number of columns. You can see it in this tutorial.

AutoFitGridRecyclerView

package com.codingissue.legendblogsexample;

import android.content.Context;
import android.content.res.TypedArray;
import android.util.AttributeSet;
import android.view.MotionEvent;

import androidx.recyclerview.widget.GridLayoutManager;
import androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView;

public class AutoFitGridRecyclerView extends RecyclerView {
    private GridLayoutManager manager;
    private int columnWidth = -1;

    public AutoFitGridRecyclerView(Context context) {
        super(context);
        initialization(context, null);
    }

    public AutoFitGridRecyclerView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
        initialization(context, attrs);
    }

    public AutoFitGridRecyclerView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
        super(context, attrs, defStyle);
        initialization(context, attrs);
    }

    private void initialization(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        try{
            if (attrs != null) {
                // list the attributes we want to fetch
                int[] attrsArray = {
                        android.R.attr.columnWidth
                };
                TypedArray array = context.obtainStyledAttributes(attrs, attrsArray);
                //retrieve the value of the 0 index, which is columnWidth
                columnWidth = array.getDimensionPixelSize(0, -1);
                array.recycle();
            }
            manager = new GridLayoutManager(context, 1);
            setLayoutManager(manager);
        }catch (Exception e){
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

    @Override
    public boolean dispatchTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) {
        return super.dispatchTouchEvent(ev);
    }

    @Override
    protected void onMeasure(int widthSpec, int heightSpec) {
       super.onMeasure(widthSpec, heightSpec);
       try{
           if (columnWidth > 0) {
               //The spanCount will always be at least 1
               int spanCount = Math.max(1, getMeasuredWidth() / columnWidth);
               manager.setSpanCount(spanCount);
           }
       }catch (Exception e){
           e.printStackTrace();
       }
    }
}

In the constructor, we read the value of android: column width and save it in a member variable.

Gradle dependency

All these basics dependency needs to add in the Gradle file to implement this project.

implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.1.0' 
implementation 'androidx.recyclerview:recyclerview:1.0.0' 
implementation 'androidx.cardview:cardview:1.0.0'

Activity Main XML

The main layout file will be like this.

        }

        adapter = new CustomAdapter(context, data);
        recyclerView.setAdapter(adapter);
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_scrolling, menu);
        return true;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
        // Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
        // automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
        // as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
        int id = item.getItemId();

        //noinspection SimplifiableIfStatement
        if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
            return true;
        }
        return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
    }
}

Conclusion

Finally, in conclusion, I can say that we can create an autofit grid layout with the help of RecyclerView. Hope that this code will help you to create your list as well as a grid for all type of screens either landscape mode or portrait mode.
