Horizontal ListView on Android
Actually android doesn’t have a listView in horizontal view. Find below an example of what you will get if you follow this tutorial:
We need these things:
*Activity and layout.
*Adapter and list_item.
*Data object.
*DividerItemDecoration (it divides our item).
As per Android Documentaion recyclerview is the new way to organize the items in listview and to be displayed horizontally.
Advantages:
*Since by using Recyclerview Adapter, ViewHolder pattern is automatically implemented
*Animation is easy to perform
*Many more features

In your dependencies you add this line
compile "com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:24.0.0"
dimens.xml
<resources> <!-- Default screen margins, per the Android Design guidelines. --> <dimen name="activity_main_horizontal_margin">16dp</dimen> <dimen name="activity_main_vertical_margin">16dp</dimen> <;dimen name="activity_main_height">150dp</dimen> </resources>
list_item.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent"> <TextView android:id="@+id/item_list_view_text_view" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:padding="@dimen/activity_main_vertical_margin" android:text="Large Text" android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" /> <TextView android:id="@+id/item_list_view_text_view_two" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:gravity="center" android:padding="@dimen/activity_main_vertical_margin" android:text="Small Text" android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall" /> </LinearLayout>
activity_main.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" tools:context="com.example.javier.recyclerviewhorizontallistviewtwo.MainActivity"> <android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView android:id="@+id/activity_main_recyclerview" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="@dimen/activity_main_height" android:background="@android:color/darker_gray" /> </RelativeLayout>
Our data
Data.java
public class HorizontalData { private String mTitle; private String mSubTitle; HorizontalData(String title, String subTitle){ mTitle = title; mSubTitle = subTitle; } public String getmTitle() { return mTitle; } public void setmTitle(String mTitle) { this.mTitle = mTitle; } public String getmSubTitle() { return mSubTitle; } public void setmSubTitle(String mSubTitle) { this.mSubTitle = mSubTitle; } }
DividerItemDecoration.java
package com.example.javier.swipe; import android.content.Context; import android.content.res.TypedArray; import android.graphics.Canvas; import android.graphics.Rect; import android.graphics.drawable.Drawable; import android.support.v7.widget.LinearLayoutManager; import android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView; import android.view.View; /** * Created by javierg on 16/02/16. */ public class DividerItemDecoration extends RecyclerView.ItemDecoration { private static final int[] ATTRS = new int[]{ android.R.attr.listDivider }; public static final int HORIZONTAL_LIST = LinearLayoutManager.HORIZONTAL; public static final int VERTICAL_LIST = LinearLayoutManager.VERTICAL; private Drawable mDivider; private int mOrientation; public DividerItemDecoration(Context context, int orientation) { final TypedArray a = context.obtainStyledAttributes(ATTRS); mDivider = a.getDrawable(0); a.recycle(); setOrientation(orientation); } public void setOrientation(int orientation) { if (orientation != HORIZONTAL_LIST && orientation != VERTICAL_LIST) { throw new IllegalArgumentException("invalid orientation"); } mOrientation = orientation; } @Override public void onDrawOver(Canvas c, RecyclerView parent, RecyclerView.State state) { if (mOrientation == VERTICAL_LIST) { drawVertical(c, parent); } else { drawHorizontal(c, parent); } } public void drawVertical(Canvas c, RecyclerView parent) { final int left = parent.getPaddingLeft(); final int right = parent.getWidth() - parent.getPaddingRight(); final int childCount = parent.getChildCount(); for (int i = 0; i < childCount; i++) { final View child = parent.getChildAt(i); final RecyclerView.LayoutParams params = (RecyclerView.LayoutParams) child .getLayoutParams(); final int top = child.getBottom() + params.bottomMargin; final int bottom = top + mDivider.getIntrinsicHeight(); mDivider.setBounds(left, top, right, bottom); mDivider.draw(c); } } public void drawHorizontal(Canvas c, RecyclerView parent) { final int top = parent.getPaddingTop(); final int bottom = parent.getHeight() - parent.getPaddingBottom(); final int childCount = parent.getChildCount(); for (int i = 0; i < childCount; i++) { final View child = parent.getChildAt(i); final RecyclerView.LayoutParams params = (RecyclerView.LayoutParams) child .getLayoutParams(); final int left = child.getRight() + params.rightMargin; final int right = left + mDivider.getIntrinsicHeight(); mDivider.setBounds(left, top, right, bottom); mDivider.draw(c); } } @Override public void getItemOffsets(Rect outRect, View view, RecyclerView parent, RecyclerView.State state) { if (mOrientation == VERTICAL_LIST) { outRect.set(0, 0, 0, mDivider.getIntrinsicHeight()); } else { outRect.set(0, 0, mDivider.getIntrinsicWidth(), 0); } } }
CustomRecyclerViewAdapter.java
public class HorizontalRecyclerViewAdapter extends RecyclerView .Adapter<HorizontalRecyclerViewAdapter .DataObjectHolder> { private static String LOG_TAG = "MyRecyclerViewAdapter"; private ArrayList<HorizontalData> mDataset; private static MyClickListener myClickListener; public static class DataObjectHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder implements View .OnClickListener { TextView mLabel; TextView mDateTime; public DataObjectHolder(View itemView) { super(itemView); mLabel = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.horizontal_list_item_text_view); mDateTime = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.horizontal_list_item_text_view_two); itemView.setOnClickListener(this); } @Override public void onClick(View v) { myClickListener.onItemClick(getAdapterPosition(), v); } } public void setOnItemClickListener(MyClickListener myClickListener) { this.myClickListener = myClickListener; } public HorizontalRecyclerViewAdapter(ArrayList<HorizontalData> myDataset) { mDataset = myDataset; } @Override public DataObjectHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) { View view = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()) .inflate(R.layout.horizontal_list_item, parent, false); DataObjectHolder dataObjectHolder = new DataObjectHolder(view); return dataObjectHolder; } @Override public void onBindViewHolder(DataObjectHolder holder, int position) { holder.mLabel.setText(mDataset.get(position).getmTitle()); holder.mDateTime.setText(mDataset.get(position).getmSubTitle()); } public void addItem(HorizontalData dataObj, int index) { mDataset.add(dataObj); notifyItemInserted(index); } public void deleteItem(int index) { mDataset.remove(index); notifyItemRemoved(index); } @Override public int getItemCount() { return mDataset.size(); } public interface MyClickListener { public void onItemClick(int position, View v); } }
Our Activity or Fragment
public class HorizontalFragment extends Fragment implements HorizontalRecyclerViewAdapter.MyClickListener{ private RecyclerView mRecyclerView; private HorizontalRecyclerViewAdapter mAdapter; private RecyclerView.LayoutManager mLayoutManager; private static String LOG_TAG = "RecyclerViewActivity"; public HorizontalFragment() { // Required empty public constructor } public static HorizontalFragment newInstance() { HorizontalFragment fragment = new HorizontalFragment(); return fragment; } @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); } @Override public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) { // Inflate the layout for this fragment View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.horizontal_fragment, container, false); mRecyclerView = (RecyclerView) view.findViewById(R.id.fragment_horizontal_recycler_view); mRecyclerView.setHasFixedSize(true); mLayoutManager = new LinearLayoutManager(getActivity(),LinearLayoutManager.HORIZONTAL, false);//new LinearLayoutManager(this); mRecyclerView.setLayoutManager(mLayoutManager); mAdapter = new HorizontalRecyclerViewAdapter(getDataSet()); mRecyclerView.setAdapter(mAdapter); RecyclerView.ItemDecoration itemDecoration = new DividerItemDecoration(getActivity(), LinearLayoutManager.HORIZONTAL); mRecyclerView.addItemDecoration(itemDecoration); mAdapter.setOnItemClickListener(this); // Code to Add an item with default animation //((MyRecyclerViewAdapter) mAdapter).addItem(obj, index); // Code to remove an item with default animation //((MyRecyclerViewAdapter) mAdapter).deleteItem(index); return view; } private ArrayList<HorizontalData> getDataSet() { ArrayList results = new ArrayList<>(); for (int index = 0; index < 20; index++) { HorizontalData obj = new HorizontalData("Some Primary Text " + index, "Secondary " + index); results.add(index, obj); } return results; } @Override public void onItemClick(int position, View v) { Log.i(LOG_TAG, " Clicked on Item " + position); } }
Now We have our horizontal ListView.
