Horizontal list view in Android?

Question

Looking for a horizontal list view GUI componnet in Android similar to UICollectionView in iOS. I trid ListView but was not able to set up to scroll it horizontally.

I need only one line, so no grid like multi line 'table'. I know about TableLayout and GridLayout . Which one is more proper for my purpose?

Looking for not a 3rd party solution but a standard Android one without loading in and library.

Answer 1

You should be using the RecyclerLayout, which allows you to specify your own LayoutManager (then you can specify a horizontal one, or a vertical one, or a grid one, or...)

Here is a good SO with a simple example: How to build a Horizontal ListView with RecyclerView?

Answer 2

You can use RecycleView and add horizontal layoutmanager

RecyclerView listView= (RecyclerView)findViewById(R.id.hlistview);

        LinearLayoutManager layoutManager=new LinearLayoutManager(this,LinearLayoutManager.HORIZONTAL,false);
        listView.setLayoutManager(layoutManager);

and in xml

<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
        android:id="@+id/hlistview"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:minHeight="30dp"/>
