Android: i wanna to make recyclerView in landscape mode and all the app in prtrait mode

Question

i have issue is that i wanna to creat table in landscape mode while the activity in portrait mode so i think that i can make it with rotated recyclerView XML here

    <androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView
        android:id="@+id/recyclerView"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:rotation="90"
        android:background="@color/colorPrimary"
        tools:layout_editor_absoluteX="8dp" />

and java

        DisplayMetrics displayMetrics = new DisplayMetrics();
        getActivity().getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(displayMetrics);
        int height = displayMetrics.heightPixels;
        int width = displayMetrics.widthPixels;
        recyclerView.setLayoutParams(new FrameLayout.LayoutParams(height, width));

so in the case i have rotated recyclerView but isn't in ther place

If you want a horizontal recyclerView in your layout you just have to set the layout manager as LinearLayoutManager and the second parameter to LinearLayoutManager.HORIZONTAL:

mRecyclerView.setLayoutManager(new LinearLayoutManager(this, LinearLayoutManager.HORIZONTAL, false));

This will result in a recyclerView that is horizontaly scrollable in a vertical layout.

If I understand the question properly, this is not the effect he is looking for.... and if he used this approach, he'd not be able to create recycler view items in landscape to achieve a landscape table – Piper2 Dec 22 '19 at 11:22

The answer on the link below should help you achieve your goal if am getting you right.

Is it possible to write vertically in a text view in android?

Use the same trick to get your effect. Just replace the textView with your recycler view

Happy coding.

The answer in the link you have provided explains it better... In which case I presume it is going to be a lot of work for you to manipulate it... I have tried the solution in a sample application and my solution works but it would take a lot more work to handle the events afterwords as he sites above – Piper2 Dec 22 '19 at 14:03
