FlowLayout

A FlowLayout for Android, which allows child views flow to next row when there is no enough space. The spacing between child views can be calculated by the FlowLayout so that the views are evenly placed.

Gradle

AndroidX:

implementation 'com.nex3z:flow-layout:1.3.3'

AppCompact:

implementation 'com.nex3z:flow-layout:1.2.4'

Usage

<com.nex3z.flowlayout.FlowLayout
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    app:flChildSpacing="auto"
    app:flChildSpacingForLastRow="align"
    app:flRowSpacing="8dp">

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="SUN"/>

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="MON"/>

    <!--...-->

</com.nex3z.flowlayout.FlowLayout>

Attributes

Attribute Format Description
flFlow boolean true to allow flow. false to restrict all child views in one row. The default is true.
flChildSpacing auto/dimension The horizontal spacing between child views. Either auto, or a fixed size. The default is 0dp.
flChildSpacingForLastRow auto/align/
dimension
The horizontal spacing between child views of the last row. Either auto, align or a fixed size. If not set, childSpacing will be used instead.
flRowSpacing auto/dimension The vertical spacing between rows. Either auto, or a fixed size. The default is 0dp.
flRtl boolean true to layout child views from right to left. false to layout from left to right. The default is false.
flMaxRows integer The maximum height of FlowLayout in terms of number of rows.

auto means that the actual spacing is calculated as per the size of the FlowLayout and the number of child views (or rows), so that the child views (or rows) are placed evenly.

align in childSpacingForLastRow means that the horizontal spacing of the child views in the last row keeps the same with the spacing used in the row above. If there is only one row in FlowLayout and the childSpacingForLastRow is set to align, this value is ignored and the actual spacing is calculated using childSpacing.
