FlowLayout – Android Layout Manager ===================================

A LayoutManager that must be used with RecyclerView inspired by Flow Layout for iOS.

The layout manager places cells on a linear path and fits as many cells along that line as it can. When the layout manager runs out of room on the current line, it creates a new line and continues the layout process there.

Compile ##

Using Gradle

Requires Min SDK version >= 10

compile 'com.ch4vi.flowlayoutmanager:flowlayoutmanager:1.0.2'

Using Maven

<dependency>       <groupId>com.ch4vi.flowlayoutmanager</groupId>       <artifactId>flowlayoutmanager</artifactId>       <version>1.0.2</version>       <type>pom</type>     </dependency>

Usage ##

<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
        android:id="@+id/recycler_view"
        android:layoutwidth="matchparent"
        android:layoutheight="matchparent"
        android:layoutbelow="@+id/buttoncenter"
        android:background="@color/e"
        android:scrollbars="vertical" />

Then in your class initialize the RecyclerView, in this case with 3 columns, vertical orientation and the first cell size will be 1x1, the second 2x2...

val manager = FlowLayoutManager(3, RecyclerView.VERTICAL, object : FlowLayoutManager.Interface {         override fun getProportionalSizeForChild(position: Int): Pair<Int, Int> {             return when (position) {                  0 -> Pair(1, 1)                  1 -> Pair(2, 2)                  2 -> Pair(4, 1)                  3 -> Pair(3, 2)                  else -> Pair(1, 1)             }         }     })     recyclerView.layoutManager = manager

Note If we add a cell too big for example if we have 3 columns and we add a cell 4x1, this cell will be ommited in the drawing process. Optionally you can add a custom space between the cells adding a dimen resource named "defaultcardinsets" and setting an item decoration to your RecyclerView like in the example

<dimen name="defaultcardinsets">8dp</dimen>

recyclerView.addItemDecoration(manager.InsetDecoration(this))
