Nested Recycler View Height Doesn't Wrap Its Content

Nested Recycler view height doesn't wrap its content

Update

Many issues relating to this feature in version 23.2.0 have been fixed in 23.2.1, update to that instead.

With the release of Support Library version 23.2, RecyclerView now supports that!

Update build.gradle to:

compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:23.2.1'

or any version beyond that.

This release brings an exciting new feature to the LayoutManager API: auto-measurement! This allows a RecyclerView to size itself based on the size of its contents. This means that previously unavailable scenarios, such as using WRAP_CONTENT for a dimension of the RecyclerView, are now possible. You’ll find all built in LayoutManagers now support auto-measurement.

This can be disabled via setAutoMeasurementEnabled() if need be. Check in detail here.

How do I make WRAP_CONTENT work on a RecyclerView

From Android Support Library 23.2.1 update, all WRAP_CONTENT should work correctly.

Please update version of a library in gradle file OR to further :

compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:23.2.1'

solved some issue like Fixed bugs related to various measure-spec methods

Set Height of Inner RecyclerView wrap_content

Because I am using a RecyclerView this does not work see:

https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=74772

and

Nested Recycler view height doesn't wrap it's content

On both of these pages people suggest to extend LinearLayoutManager and to override onMeasure()

RecyclerView doesn't have the wrap_content by default. You have to use the RecyclerView with wrap_content Layout Manager such as, WrapLinearLayoutManager e.g CustomLinearLayoutManager .

CustomLinearLayoutManager.java

    public class CustomLinearLayoutManager extends LinearLayoutManager {

private static final String TAG = CustomLinearLayoutManager.class.getSimpleName();

public CustomLinearLayoutManager(Context context) {
    super(context);
}

public CustomLinearLayoutManager(Context context, int orientation, boolean reverseLayout) {
    super(context, orientation, reverseLayout);
}

private int[] mMeasuredDimension = new int[2];

@Override
public void onMeasure(RecyclerView.Recycler recycler, RecyclerView.State state, int widthSpec, int heightSpec) {

    final int widthMode = View.MeasureSpec.getMode(widthSpec);
    final int heightMode = View.MeasureSpec.getMode(heightSpec);
    final int widthSize = View.MeasureSpec.getSize(widthSpec);
    final int heightSize = View.MeasureSpec.getSize(heightSpec);

    int width = 0;
    int height = 0;
    for (int i = 0; i < getItemCount(); i++) {
        measureScrapChild(recycler, i, View.MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(i, View.MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED),
            View.MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(i, View.MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED),
            mMeasuredDimension);


        if (getOrientation() == HORIZONTAL) {
            width = width + mMeasuredDimension[0];
            if (i == 0) {
                height = mMeasuredDimension[1];
            }
        } else {
            height = height + mMeasuredDimension[1];
            if (i == 0) {
                width = mMeasuredDimension[0];
            }
        }
    }
    switch (widthMode) {
        case View.MeasureSpec.EXACTLY:
            width = widthSize;
        case View.MeasureSpec.AT_MOST:
        case View.MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED:
    }

    switch (heightMode) {
        case View.MeasureSpec.EXACTLY:
            height = heightSize;
        case View.MeasureSpec.AT_MOST:
        case View.MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED:
    }

    setMeasuredDimension(width, height);
}

private void measureScrapChild(RecyclerView.Recycler recycler, int position, int widthSpec,
                           int heightSpec, int[] measuredDimension) {
    try {
        View view = recycler.getViewForPosition(0);//fix 动态添加时报IndexOutOfBoundsException

        if (view != null) {
            RecyclerView.LayoutParams p = (RecyclerView.LayoutParams) view.getLayoutParams();

            int childWidthSpec = ViewGroup.getChildMeasureSpec(widthSpec,
                getPaddingLeft() + getPaddingRight(), p.width);

            int childHeightSpec = ViewGroup.getChildMeasureSpec(heightSpec,
                getPaddingTop() + getPaddingBottom(), p.height);

            view.measure(childWidthSpec, childHeightSpec);
            measuredDimension[0] = view.getMeasuredWidth() + p.leftMargin + p.rightMargin;
            measuredDimension[1] = view.getMeasuredHeight() + p.bottomMargin + p.topMargin;
            recycler.recycleView(view);
        }
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } 
}

}

RecyclerView is not taking wrap_content height, it becomes scrollable

I managed to resolve this issue by putting my recyclerview in a nestedscrollview and kept 'android:nestedScrollingEnabled' disabled/false.

Horizontal RecyclerView height wrap content not working

WRAP_CONTENT in RecyclerView is now avaible with Android Support Library 23.2. Update your library in gradle. You can find more detail here

Layout view does not wrap content after scrolling

Your recycler view height is wrap_content

And recycler view item height match_parent

I would think you'd want them the other way around.

The RV's height = match_parent, i.e. the recycler view occupies all available height.

The RV item's height = wrap_content, i.e. each item only as tall as it needs to be, so that multiple items can fit.
