Support horizontal scrolling with FlexDirection.ROW

[saket]

Hello, thanks for this fantastic library. I'm trying to create a horizontally scrollable list, but FlexboxLayoutManager doesn't seem to be wrapping the list items. In each column, all items have the same width, which doesn't look correct. Is there something I'm missing? I'm using this code:

FlexboxLayoutManager flexboxLayoutManager = new FlexboxLayoutManager();
flexboxLayoutManager.setFlexWrap(FlexWrap.WRAP);
flexboxLayoutManager.setFlexDirection(FlexDirection.COLUMN);

Update: Oh wait, supplying setAlignItems() with something other than STRETCH fixes the width of the items. As in, they're no longer equi sized. So I've realized that I want the items to be laid out in row fashion, but the list should be horizontally scrollable. Is this possible?

Hi @Saketme,

Currently horizontal scrolling is not supported if you set the flex direction as FlexDirection.ROW (or ROW_REVERSE).

But it could be implemented in the future, could you change the title as something like "Support horizontal scrolling with FlexDirection.ROW"?

Done :)

Thanks. I'll keep this as an enhancement.

Hi @thagikura !
I am looking for the same functionality, trying to make my FlexboxLayout wider than the actual screen and then make it scrollable. As this is not supported I tried to achieve it by wrapping it in a HorizontalScrollView, but unfortunately if I do that the wrapping doesn't work anymore. Is there any workaround how I can make the vertical scrolling possible for my FlexboxLayout?

Hi @AnninaO,

At this moment, you can't scroll a RecyclerView with FlexboxLayoutManager in both directions.
