RecyclerView grid with different item sizes

Question

I need to create a horizontal scrolling grid that can allocate items with different width and different height. StaggeredGridLayoutManager can handle different width but it won't let me have items with different height. Is there any LayoutManager implementation which can do what I need?

Answer 1

Unfortunately, there's no LayoutManager for that yet. You'll have to implement you own LayoutManager from scratch. The currently available LayoutManagers (as of december 2014) are:

1. LinearLayoutManager
2. GridLayoutManager
3. StaggeredGridLayoutManager

https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/v7/widget/RecyclerView.LayoutManager.html

EDIT:

You can also look at this if you want to implement your LayoutManager in an easier way...
