Your question is not so clear to me but if you want the recyclerView to take all of the screen space you should use this :



 <androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">

<androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView
android:id="@+id/recyclerViewItems"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_marginStart="8dp"
android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
android:layout_marginEnd="8dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="8dp"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />

</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>


If you want to limit your recyclerview height I would not recommend using fixed sized in dp - use guideline/barrier to make your recyclerView take only some percent of the screen, for example if you want your view only take 30% of your screen use guidelines with 30% different and constrain your view to them like this:



 <androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">

<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.Guideline
android:id="@+id/guideline3"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal"
app:layout_constraintGuide_percent="0.4" />

<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.Guideline
android:id="@+id/guideline2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal"
app:layout_constraintGuide_percent="0.1" />

<androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView
android:id="@+id/recyclerViewItems"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_marginStart="8dp"
android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
android:layout_marginEnd="8dp"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="@+id/guideline3"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintHorizontal_bias="0.0"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="@+id/guideline2" />

</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>

  • i want to add recycler view inside dialog. i used recycler view height as wrap content . when lot of items have dialog height so big. when recycler view height goes more than 400dp (as a example) it should be stopped (i mean height) . then other item to view scroll down. But i used max width in recycler view it didn't work. Also i created a constraint layout and add recycler view inside it and set height to 0dp . it didn't worked

If you want to limit your recyclerview height I would not recommend using fixed sized in dp - use guideline/barrier to make your recyclerView take only some percent of the screen, for example if you want your view only take 30% of your screen use guidelines with 30% different and constrain your view to them like this:



 <androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">

<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.Guideline
android:id="@+id/guideline3"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal"
app:layout_constraintGuide_percent="0.4" />

<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.Guideline
android:id="@+id/guideline2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal"
app:layout_constraintGuide_percent="0.1" />

<androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView
android:id="@+id/recyclerViewItems"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_marginStart="8dp"
android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
android:layout_marginEnd="8dp"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="@+id/guideline3"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintHorizontal_bias="0.0"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="@+id/guideline2" />

</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>

  • i want to add recycler view inside dialog. i used recycler view height as wrap content . when lot of items have dialog height so big. when recycler view height goes more than 400dp (as a example) it should be stopped (i mean height) . then other item to view scroll down. But i used max width in recycler view it didn't work. Also i created a constraint layout and add recycler view inside it and set height to 0dp . it didn't worked

  • This is not a good practice(the fixed sizes), what is wrong with my answer? why not use constraint layout with guidelines like the example I gave?
