Android grid layout align like GridLayoutManager style

I have the following GridLayout which stores a number of 6 maximum columns :
<androidx.gridlayout.widget.GridLayout
android:id="#+id/pokemonTeambuilderSpritesLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="100dp"
app:columnCount="6"
app:rowCount="1"
app:useDefaultMargins="true" />
And here I populate it :
List<Pokemon> pokemonList = pokemonTeam.getPokemonList();
for (Pokemon pokemon : pokemonList) {
CircularImageView ivPokemonSprite = new CircularImageView(mContext);
String pokemonId = pokemon.get_id();
int pokemonImageId = PokemonUtils.getPokemonSugimoriImageById(pokemonId, mContext);
Picasso.get().load(pokemonImageId).into(ivPokemonSprite);
GridLayout.LayoutParams layoutParams = new GridLayout.LayoutParams(
GridLayout.spec(GridLayout.UNDEFINED, 1f),
GridLayout.spec(GridLayout.UNDEFINED, 1f)
);
layoutParams.width = 0;
ivPokemonSprite.setLayoutParams(layoutParams);
holder.teamSpritesGridLayout.addView(ivPokemonSprite);
}
My current output with 6 images is this :
With 3 images :
With 2 images:
My desired output would be :
For 6 images:
For 2 images:
For 4 images:
I want it to add them starting from left to right uniform and If the image doesn't have enough space to fit on its own I want it to "collide" with the others instead of letting margin between them (as you can see in the examples). Thats how I see that the GridLayoutManager works . How can I achieve this ?

you can create custom layout for handling your different cases. something like below:
public class PokemonLayout extends FrameLayout {
private int height;
private int width;
private int childWidth;
public PokemonLayout(Context context) {
this(context, null);
}
public PokemonLayout(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
this(context, attrs, 0);
}
public PokemonLayout(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr) {
super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr);
}
#TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP)
public PokemonLayout(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr, int defStyleRes) {
super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr, defStyleRes);
}
#Override
protected void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {
width = MeasureSpec.getSize(widthMeasureSpec);
height = Integer.MIN_VALUE;
childWidth = Integer.MIN_VALUE;
measureChildren(widthMeasureSpec, heightMeasureSpec);
int count = getChildCount();
for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
final View child = getChildAt(i);
height = Math.max(child.getMeasuredHeight(), height);
childWidth = Math.max(child.getMeasuredWidth(), childWidth);
}
setMeasuredDimension(MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(width, MeasureSpec.EXACTLY), MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(height, MeasureSpec.EXACTLY));
}
#Override
protected void onLayout(boolean changed, int leftParent, int topParent, int rightParent, int bottomParent) {
int count = getChildCount();
boolean overlap = count * childWidth > width;
int widthOffset = childWidth;
if(overlap) {
widthOffset = childWidth - (Math.abs(width - (count * childWidth)) / (count-1));
}
for (int i = 0; i < getChildCount(); i++) {
View child = (View) getChildAt(i);
child.layout(i*widthOffset,
0,(i*widthOffset) + childWidth
, child.getMeasuredHeight());
}
}
}
For 3 images:
For 5 images:
UPDATE 1:
change onLayout method to positioning children at the center of layout
#Override
protected void onLayout(boolean changed, int leftParent, int topParent, int rightParent, int bottomParent) {
int count = getChildCount();
boolean overlap = count * childWidth > width;
int widthOffset = childWidth;
int startOffest = (width - (count * childWidth)) / 2;
if(overlap) {
startOffest = 0;
widthOffset = childWidth - (Math.abs(width - (count * childWidth)) / (count-1));
}
for (int i = 0; i < getChildCount(); i++) {
View child = (View) getChildAt(i);
child.layout(startOffest+ (i*widthOffset),
0,(i*widthOffset) + childWidth + startOffest
, child.getMeasuredHeight());
}
}

Expandable height of CardView

I am working on expand and collapse of properties on CardView.
public class SimpleCardView extends CardView {
private int animationDuration;
public SimpleCardView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr) {
super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr);
}
public SimpleCardView(Context context) {
super(context);
}
public SimpleCardView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
}
public void expand(){
final int initialHeight = getHeight();
final float scale = getContext().getResources().getDisplayMetrics().density;
int targetHeight = (int) (232 * scale + 0.5f);
final int distance_to_expand = targetHeight - initialHeight;
Animation animation = new Animation() {
#Override
protected void applyTransformation(float interpolatedTime, Transformation t) {
getLayoutParams().height = (int) (initialHeight +(distance_to_expand*interpolatedTime));
requestLayout();
}
#Override
public boolean willChangeBounds() {
return true;
}
};
animationDuration = distance_to_expand;
animation.setDuration((long)distance_to_expand);
startAnimation(animation);
}
public int getAnimationTime(){
return animationDuration;
}
public void collapse(){}
}
This is my screenshot:
I am setting the constant value for target height.
int targetHeight = (int) (232 * scale + 0.5f);
Here, targetHeight is a expandable height of CardView.
Due to this, when the content is too long, only few portion of content is display.
Is there any way to set that height dynamically not a constant value?

Have you Tried with :wrap_content
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
<android.support.v7.widget.CardView
android:id="#+id/cardView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
And you need to remove static height form class SimpleCardView.
**OR You need to calculate Height **
For this you need to set Text into TextView and then
calculate height of TextView With Below lines and then pass into SimpleCardView by making any setter method .
TextView textview ;
textveiw.setText("your text");
textview.mesure(0,0);
int height = textview.getMesuredHeight();

Compound child view not shown inside custom ViewGroup

I'm coding a ring menu that is going to put together several different types of view, which will have all the same size. The thing is that it works perfectly with native views, like ImageView, but when I try to put a custom labeled image view, it simply doesn't appear int the custom ViewGroup. It's also worth mentioning that when this view is declared in the XML file, outside de custom ViewGroup it is shown just fine, but as soon as I put it inside the ViewGroup, or declare it programatically, it vanishes. My guess is that I'm doing something weong inside the onLayout method, but I can't put my finger on it, since all coordinates and view sizes are correct according to the Log.
The XML file for the CompoundView:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:clickable="true"
android:focusable="true">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/header"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:src="#drawable/ropeiconselector"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/label"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="WWWWWWWWWWWW"
android:background="#color/button"
android:layout_marginLeft="-10dp"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_toRightOf="#id/header"
android:padding="8dp"
/>
The code for the CompoundView (I omitted some unimportant methods)
public class CircularLabeledImageView extends RelativeLayout implements View.OnClickListener {
ImageView headerView;
TextView labelView;
boolean isOpen = false;
String[] itemDesc;
int position;
int size;
int maxLabelWidth = 100;
int minLabelWidth = 20;
final Handler timeHandler = new Handler();
Runnable toggleTimer;
public CircularLabeledImageView(Context context) {
super(context);
//EDIT Methhod called
initView(context);
}
public CircularLabeledImageView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
initView(context);
}
public CircularLabeledImageView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr) {
super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr);
initView(context);
}
private void initView(Context context){
LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater)context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
inflater.inflate(R.layout.expandabletextimageview, this);
headerView = (ImageView) this.findViewById(R.id.header);
labelView = (TextView) this.findViewById(R.id.label);
labelView.setBackgroundResource(R.color.backgroundMenuContents);
headerView.setOnClickListener(this);
itemDesc = new String[]{"Item A","Item B", "Item C","Quantos itens"};
size = itemDesc.length;
toggleTimer = new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
toggle();
}
};
this.setOnFocusChangeListener(new OnFocusChangeListener() {
#Override
public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {
if (isOpen) {
toggle();
}
}
});
}
}
The code for the custom ViewGroup

float angle = (float) (2*Math.PI)/(getChildCount()-1);
center.x = padding+headerSize/2;
center.y = padding+headerSize/2;
float childX;
float childY;
//radius = (float) (getChildCount()*(minSpacing+2*childSize)/(2*Math.PI));
for (int i = 1; i < getChildCount(); i++) {
View child = getChildAt(i);
childX = (float) (center.x + radius * Math.cos(startingAngle + i * angle));
childY = (float) (center.y + radius * Math.sin(startingAngle + i * angle));
child.layout((int) (childX - childSize / 2), (int) (childY - childSize / 2),
(int) (childX + childSize / 2), (int) (childY + childSize / 2));
}
View header = getChildAt(0);
header.setX(padding);
header.setY(padding);
header.layout(padding, padding, padding + headerSize, padding + headerSize);
}
#Override
public void addView(View child) {
child.setTag(getChildCount());
super.addView(child);
child.setOnClickListener(this);
}
}
And finally, the declaration part:
RingListMenu ring = (RingListMenu) findViewById(R.id.ring);
CircularLabeledImageView ViewA = new CircularLabeledImageView(this);
ring.addView(ViewA);

RecyclerView implement GridView

Problem
I want to use RecyclerView to implement GridView.In fact I need to display all local photos in RecyclerView which has 3 columns.I know about GridLayoutManager
My code :
mManager = new GridLayoutManager(this,3);
And the item XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ImageView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
however how can I set the item view (ImageView)'s width and height?
Solution
I define a custom view:
public class RatioImageView extends ImageView {
private int originalWidth;
private int originalHeight;
public RatioImageView(Context context) {
super(context);
}
public RatioImageView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
}
public RatioImageView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr) {
super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr);
}
public void setOriginalSize(int originalWidth, int originalHeight) {
this.originalWidth = originalWidth;
this.originalHeight = originalHeight;
}
#Override protected void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {
if (originalWidth > 0 && originalHeight > 0) {
float ratio = (float) originalWidth / (float) originalHeight;
int width = MeasureSpec.getSize(widthMeasureSpec);
int height = MeasureSpec.getSize(heightMeasureSpec);
if (width > 0) {
height = (int) ((float) width / ratio);
}
setMeasuredDimension(width, height);
}
else {
super.onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec, heightMeasureSpec);
}
}
}
Is there another solution?

Instead of creating Custom ImageView when you are creating your view inside onCreateViewHolder() method by inflating your recycler item view, you can set width and height to your ImageView using layoutParamas.
If you want 3 columns then you can get screen width and divide it into 3 and pass that to your RecyclerView Adapter and use it in onCreateViewHolder() to apply.

Android: How can I add childs to my custom ViewGroup with a CursorAdapter?

Please help! I tried everything! :(
I've got a schedule Class, which is simply a custom ViewGroup (with custom onMeasure() and onLayout()), which enables me to place childs(=events) with LayoutParams for column/row start and column/row end. The number of childs and their LayoutParams depend on database entries.
Now I'm trying to add childs (events) from my database. I'd have to use a Cursor Adapter, so my schedule Class has to extend ListView, right? I tried that but the newView() method of the adapter is never called. Why not??
My custom ListView doesn't ask the adapter for childs, no childs are added. I also can't add the childs by hand calling schedule.addView() if I extend from AdapterView.
I'd be really (really) happy if someone could help!
Regards,
cody

Schedule schedule = new Schedule(this, 4, rowTimes.length, 15, 15, rowTimes);
Cursor cursor = dbManager.getEvents(day);
MySimpleCurserAdapter adapter = ... ??
// schedule.setAdapter not working...
How can I add events to the schedule with the data from the cursor?

You should not need to be extending ListView. You just want to add an instance of ListView to your layout.
It sounds like you might want to be using a SimpleCursorAdaptor, where you can map items in your custom view to the data model objects you want them to display.
See Binding to Data with Adapter and Hello ListView for some examples of the right ways to use adapters and ListViews.
