Question

Does anyone know how to do flow layout using RecyclerView?

How to change span count dynamically?

Answer :

Answer 1

Best solution is to use a RecyclerView with google FlexLayoutManager

// Set layout manager
    val layoutManager = FlexboxLayoutManager(context)
    recyclerview.layoutManager = layoutManager

// Now you can add your normal recyclerview adapter

recyclerview.adapter = MyListAdapter(list)

Add below dependency in your build.gradle file

 implementation 'com.google.android:flexbox:2.0.1'

This will work like a charm.

mFlowLayout.setAdapter(new TagAdapter<String>(mVals) { @Override public View getView(FlowLayout parent, int position, String s) { TextView tv = (TextView) mInflater.inflate(R.layout.tv, mFlowLayout, false); tv.setText(s); return tv; } });

Using below code you can pre set selection you wanted:-

mAdapter.setSelectedList(1,3,5,7,8,9);

Will show result like below:-
