How to create horizontal recyclerview using constraintlayout?

Question

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

        xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"

            app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
            app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
            app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
            app:srcCompat="@drawable/mac" />

        <View

            android:layout_marginTop="168dp"
            android:background="#8A474141"
            app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="@id/titleImageViewID"
            app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="@+id/titleImageViewID"
            app:layout_constraintHorizontal_bias="1.0"
            app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="@+id/titleImageViewID"
            app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="@+id/titleImageViewID" />

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/titleTextViewID"
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_marginStart="20dp"
            android:text="@string/textview"
            android:textColor="@android:color/white"
            android:textSize="24sp"
            android:textStyle="bold"
            app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="@+id/view8"
            app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="@+id/view8"
            app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="@+id/view8"
            app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/titleImageViewID"/>
    </androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>

Above code is sample_layout of a RecyclerView - please suggest for only ConstraintLayout, I use this layout because this is responsive to any device, so I don't need to create another layout for different screen sizes

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements View.OnClickListener {

    private RecyclerView recyclerView;
    private RecycleAdapter recycleAdapter;
    private RecyclerView.LayoutManager manager;
    private ConstraintLayout constraintLayout;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        recyclerView = findViewById(R.id.recycleViewID);
        manager = new ConstraintLayout(this,ConstraintLayout,View.SCROLL_AXIS_HORIZONTAL,false);

       RecycleModel [] myThumbData = new RecycleModel[]{
       new RecycleModel("Goru banaisi", R.drawable.mac)};}

Can't figure out the main java code how do I access all of my XML in java code, anyone give me a proper code and explanation, I couldn't find any recycler view using constraint layout online. So problem solver help me to solve my problem**

Set your recyclerview manager as shown below:

manager = new LinearLayoutManager(this, RecyclerView.Horizontal, false)
reyclerview.manager = manager
//Then set the adapter
recyclerview.adapter = your adapter.

This should enable horizontal scroll for your recyclerview.

Hope this helps

LayoutManager

You have to set proper LayoutManager. There are few basic implementations e.g. LinearLayoutManager, GridLayoutManager or StaggeredGridLayoutManager.

In Android Documentation you can find information that:

A LayoutManager is responsible for measuring and positioning item views within a RecyclerView as well as determining the policy for when to recycle item views that are no longer visible to the user. By changing the LayoutManager a RecyclerView can be used to implement a standard vertically scrolling list, a uniform grid, staggered grids, horizontally scrolling collections and more. Several stock layout managers are provided for general use.

Set from Code

You can set them from code:

layoutManager = new LinearLayoutManager(
        this,
        LinearLayoutManager.HORIZONTAL,   // Here, you have orientation of items
        false
);

// Remember to set your LayoutManager in recycler view, not in adapter!
recyclerView.setLayoutManager(layoutManager);

Set from XML

In your XML layout file, where you have your adapter, you have to set:

orientation and
layoutManager.

<androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView
    android:id="@+id/recycler_view"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="horizontal"
    app:layoutManager="androidx.recyclerview.widget.LinearLayoutManager" />
