I have Recyclerview in my layout. I am showing images inside the row Layout of this recyclerview. I am using Gallery widget for now to show the images.
But it is not giving me the desired results. I want to use GridView to show images. I want images to scroll horizontally in this gridview when there are more images than the width of device.
Please suggest me how can I achieve this.
https://guides.codepath.com/android/using-the-recyclerview great tutorial to use with everything. The layout manager would be what you need :)
Need some help!!..
I'm try to implement a list view with two images in the initial screen, after scrolling other images can be seen.
Can you suggest anyway to implement it!
Use can achieve it by creating custom adapter for list view. Have a look :-

You need to do some updation like removing text view from custom list layout.
I have a list view in which I want each list item will contain images. But the images will be displayed one at a time. SO, at a time for every list item only one image will be displayed. To view other images in the list item,one has to swipe horizontally. Is there any inbuilt widget that handles this in android?
EDIT1
My List item not only has Image but it also contains other views like textview, seekbar etc. So each list item will contain Image, textview, seekbar etc but the majority of the space will be occupied by the Image. Now, for each list item, when the image is swiped horizontally, another image has to be downloaded from a ulr and displayed.
EDIT2
I did a bit of research on ViewPager but many references like the answers here and this blog seem to suggest that using ViewPager inside a listview is not a good idea. Why is that? If it is not a good idea, what is a good alternative?
This problem can be solved by using ViewPager.

ViewPager(for swiping between views) + UniversalImageLoader(for loading images from URLs, with caching etc)
If it is not, what is a good alternative?
I think you should use RecyclerView with LinearLayoutManager.HORIZONTAL. All things like recycling the views, view holder design pattern can be done easily with it and it is a new widget that google introduced and you can use it instead of ListView + ViewPager. because as you suggested it is not recommended to use viewpager inside listview. Although you can use horizontalScrollView but it dose not recycle the view. Other third party library like this exist but I recommend you use RecyclerView with LinearLayoutManager.HORIZONTAL because it is from google and it is normally tested more than people library. And another thing is you can use other layout manager like GridLayoutManager or having for example 3 rows that swiping horizontally or other good effects like adding animation and .... that google provided with RecyclerView.
For downloading the images you can use Picasso,Volley, Universal Image Loader or a lot of other libraries that exist.
Happy Coding :-)
Not sure I'm following you, but rather than a ListView wouldn't it be simpler to use ViewPager with simple Fragment that wraps a single image at a time. That way you get horizontal swiping "for free".
Do you just want swipe to change images? Or do you want the images to scroll as you swipe? For the former, you can just use a GestureDetector. For the latter you would probably use a ViewPager. See http://developer.android.com/training/animation/screen-slide.html
I have achieved the same functionality by using ViewPager, you can either put the SeekBar and TextView in the Fragment class off which you are gonna make multiple instances for each item and add to the pageradapter,
You can also add the TextView and SeekBar above the ViewPager Layout in your main fragment layout file and change the text and data on seekbar on viewpager's on item change listener, this looks more neat and this is the approach i've used
I have an app which loads a boatload of images and displays them in a TableLayout which is inside a ScrollView. At run time I get the width of the layout parent and use that to determine how many images can go in each TableRow (all of the images are of a set size).
I'm concerned about memory issues when loading more and more images. I know ListView recycles its views but I don't know how to dynamically change number of views in each item. I am only aware of inflating XML which isn't going to change the number of views per item at run time.
So my question is what is easier - figuring out how to recycle views in my table by myself, or making a list's items change based on screen size? Just a link to a tutorial on how to do whichever is easier is good enough an answer for me.
I suggest you to use ListView with the ViewHolder approach (you can see it here: How to load the Listview "smoothly" in android).
The ListView, when scrolled, removes the views that are no more visible and gets the views that are about to become visible. This way, it's better than using a ScrollView and a TableLayout.
In my project i have a list. this list includes thumbnail images which should be scrollable horizontally.
If i add a list inside HorizontalScrollView and inflate my list what will be output? I want to arrange all images horizontally.
How can I do that? Thanks
You can go with Gallery widget.
using Gallery would be easy for you as it is also implemented using Adapter pattern. So what you need to do is to provide Adapter implementation as you simply do for ListView as single image thumbnail.
or you can have a look at HorizontalListview
