Is there a better way to implement this now with RecyclerView now?
Yes.
When you use a RecyclerView
, you need to specify a LayoutManager
that is responsible for laying out each item in the view. The LinearLayoutManager
allows you to specify an orientation, just like a normal LinearLayout
would.
To create a horizontal list with RecyclerView
, you might do something like this:
LinearLayoutManager layoutManager
= new LinearLayoutManager(requireContext(), LinearLayoutManager.HORIZONTAL, false);
RecyclerView myList = (RecyclerView) findViewById(R.id.my_recycler_view);
myList.setLayoutManager(layoutManager);
