How to create a Recycler Grid View with horizontal scrolling

Question

I am loading icons in a recycler view using GridLayout. I am able to scroll the items vertically in a grid. But I want to scroll the items horizontally in the same GridLayout. I am looking for view pager for recycler view or horizontol scroll bars for recycler grid view. Can someone suggest me how this can be achieved? Also if I could use better design than this to achieve the same. That is to load the icons with optimal memory usage.

Answer 1

The GridLayoutManager has the following Constructor: GridLayoutManager (Context context, int spanCount, int orientation, boolean reverseLayout)

As you can see you can pass an int for the orientation. One possible option is HORIZONTAL. This is what you want.
