RecyclerView wraps its conent

I am using the RecyclerView to inflate a Linear Vertical listViews, However, although the width of a child is set to match_parent, RecyclerView wraps that at runtime.
Here is a screenshot of the problem:
item_recyclerView
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tag_name"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="0dp"
android:maxLines="2"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tag_role"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</LinearLayout>
<com.google.android.material.imageview.ShapeableImageView
android:id="#+id/user_pic"
android:layout_width="40dp"
android:layout_height="40dp"
android:layout_weight="0"
android:rotation="-45"
android:scaleType="centerCrop"
android:src="#drawable/ic_user"
app:shapeAppearanceOverlay="#style/ShapeAppearanceOverlay.App.circleImageView" />
</LinearLayout>

When inflating a layout file, the layout_ attributes on the root view will be ignored unless you specify a parent ViewGroup in the inflate() call. You are not currently doing so.
In your onCreateViewHolder() method, replace this:
ItemQuestionPostBinding binding = ItemQuestionPostBinding.inflate(inflater);
with this:
ItemQuestionPostBinding binding = ItemQuestionPostBinding.inflate(inflater, parent, false);
Note also that you probably don't want to be using match_parent for the height of your RecyclerView's items:
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
This will give the appearance that only a single item is visible in your RecyclerView, since each item will be the full height of the screen. This is currently not a problem for the exact same reason that the match_parent width is being ignored.

give for your parent linearlayout weightSum 5
give for imageView weight 1 and do his width 0
and for child linearlayout weight 4

CardView width is not matching to width of the screen?

I am trying to match the CardView width to the screen width but CardView width is not matching to screen width. I have checked my code again and again and I've even made all the attributes width equal to match parent.

Inflating code
LayoutInflater inflater = LayoutInflater.from(context);
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.exercises_card_view_layout, null);
return new ExerciseContentViewHolder(view);
Here is the screenshot

The problem lies with your inflater. Check out the documentation for LayoutInflater, specifically for the inflate method.
Try this:
LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext())
.inflate(R.layout.exercises_card_view_layout, parent, false);
Instead of supplying null, supply the parent view. This way the inflater knows what LayoutParameters to use. Supplying false parameter tells the LayoutInflater not to attach it to the parent just yet. The RecyclerView will handle this for you.

This is kind of known issue. You can wrap your CardView with eg RelativeLayout or try the solution from here: CardView layout_width="match_parent" does not match parent RecyclerView width

Horizontal Recycler View with multiple item at once

I want to show multiple itemview at once like this
I am using recycler view 23.2.1
compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:23.2.1'
My recycler view xml
<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
android:id="#+id/gallary"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:scrollbars="horizontal" />
Corresponding Java code
mRecyclerView = (RecyclerView) findViewById(R.id.gallary);
mLayoutManager = new LinearLayoutManager(this, LinearLayoutManager.HORIZONTAL, false);
mRecyclerView.setLayoutManager(mLayoutManager);
With this configuration I getting only one item at once. Like image below
It seems like wrap_content in recycler view is not working as the space between images are there. Is there anyway to remove the space between the items.
I found one bug related to wrap_contect in recycler view link which is fixed. Not sure if this is causing the problem. Any help to fix this will be appreciated
My row view:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/image"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/facebook" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/titletv"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#+id/image"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:text="Testing"
android:textSize="#dimen/fourteen_sp" />
<ProgressBar
android:id="#+id/mainimgloading"
android:layout_width="24dp"
android:layout_height="24dp"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:layout_gravity="center" />
</RelativeLayout>
</LinearLayout>

Your parent LinearLayout for your row cannot be match_parent you must use wrap_content for your width or else you will get what you see there.
if you had a vertical recyclerview then you would be using wrap_content for your height and not your width

Android Horizontal RecyclerView wrap_content

hello I'm trying to use Recyclerview,
below code results only a blank screen, can you please tell me where I'm going wrong
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:gravity="top|center_vertical">
<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
android:id="#+id/ImageSelectorRecycler"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:scrollbars="horizontal" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/ImageViewSelectPhoto"
android:layout_width="80dp"
android:layout_height="76dp"
android:src="#drawable/ic_add_a_photo_black_361px"
android:background="#drawable/back"
android:layout_marginRight="20dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="20dp" />
</LinearLayout>

Since you have provided
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
for your RecyclerView, its taking the full width and height of your device or parent view. And the ImageView is outside the device screen.
Now you have just declared the RecyclerView in your XML. You need a RecyclerView Row Layout which should define the layout for the RecyclerView items.
To show something in the RecyclerView you can set static data in the Row Layout layout iteself or need to create a RecyclerView adapter and model for dynamic/static data.

You need to make a list item layout for your Horizontal-scrollview and a seperate adapter also for it.
Try adding android:viewfillport="true"
I too asked a similar type of question ,please have a look to it yu will surely get a simple way to implement this .
Horizontal Listview Not Working from github

I think it should be similar to this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:gravity="top|center_vertical">
<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
android:id="#+id/ImageSelectorRecycler"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"/>
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/ImageViewSelectPhoto"
android:layout_width="80dp"
android:layout_height="76dp"
android:layout_marginRight="20dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="20dp"
android:src="#android:drawable/ic_dialog_alert"
android:background="#android:color/holo_green_dark" />
</LinearLayout>

ScrollView not sizing itself correctly

I'm trying to get a ScrollView to take up as much screen space as it needs until it would start pushing items below (outside) it off the screen, then it needs to stop expanding and become scrolly.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
>
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#ff0000"
>
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="taking\nup\lots\nof\nlines\nto\nmake\nthe\nscrollview"s\ncontent\ntaller\nthan\nthe\nspace\navailable\nto\nit\nwhich\nshould\nmake\nthe\nscrollview\nstop\nabove\nthe\nbutton\nand\nbecome\nscrollable"
/>
<!--
android:text="just one line"
-->
</ScrollView>
<Button
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Button"
/>
</LinearLayout>
As it is above the ScrollView fills the entire screen height and pushes the button off the bottom of the screen.
If I add android:layout_weight="1" to the ScrollView then it works for this case - the button is at the bottom and the ScrollView stops above it - but when the ScrollView doesn't have much content (replace the text with the one-liner) then the ScrollView doesn't shrink to fit around the content so is far too tall.
I've tried using RelativeLayout with no success - if the Button is android:layout_below the ScrollView then the ScrollView will push it off the bottom of the screen if it has a lot of content.
Here's what I want it to look like: in the first image the ScrollView has a lot of content and so expands to fill the available height but doesn't push the items below it (the button) offscreen, in the second image the ScrollView doesn't have much content so takes up just the height it needs allowing the items below it (the button) to move up the screen:

What you can do, is to correct the height in your code. It's a bit hacky and I would like to see another solution, but off the top of my head I do not know anything better.
What you would need is to add a OnGlobalLayoutListener and calculate within it the minimum of either the ScrollView height or the height of the container surrounding your ScrollView minus the height of your Button.
Then set the size with setLayoutParams() on your ScrollView.
And you have to remove the listener to avoid an endless loop :-)
final View scrollview = findViewById(R.id.scrollview);
final View container = findViewById(R.id.container);
final View button = findViewById(R.id.button);
scrollview.getViewTreeObserver().addOnGlobalLayoutListener(new ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener() {
#Override
public void onGlobalLayout() {
int height = scrollview.getHeight();
int heightButton = button.getHeight();
int heightContainer = container.getHeight();
int min = Math.min(heightContainer - heightButton, height);
int width = scrollview.getWidth();
Log.v("test", "min: " + min);
scrollview.setLayoutParams(new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(width, min));
// do not forget to remove the listener
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN) {
scrollview.getViewTreeObserver().removeOnGlobalLayoutListener(this);
}
else {
scrollview.getViewTreeObserver().removeGlobalOnLayoutListener(this);
}
}
});
For this to work you have to use wrap_content as the height of the ScrollView in your layout file. And the outer container has to be a RelativeLayout so that the Buttonis rendered and has a non-zero height!
If you use paddings or margins you would have to consider those values in the computation.

Try this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"

Just try adding fillViewport = "true" on your scroll view
