Within my current Android application, I have a screen that displays an android.support.v4.app.DialogFragment
.
This DialogFragment
view contains the following UI components
HEADING
== Sub Heading
== NestedScrollView
==== RecyclerView
==== RadioGroup
==== Spinner
==== EditText
==== Action Buttons
The DialogFragment
is configured to be Full Screen using Style as follows:-
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setStyle(DialogFragment.STYLE_NO_TITLE, R.style.AppDialogTheme);
}
My dialog style is
<!-- Define your custom dialog theme here extending from base -->
<style name="AppDialogTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.Dialog">
<!-- Define color properties as desired -->
<item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#000</item>
<item name="android:textColorHighlight">@color/background_url</item>
<item name="colorAccent">@color/dark_grey</item>
<item name="colorControlNormal">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<!-- Define window properties as desired -->
<item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
<item name="android:windowFullscreen">true</item>
<item name="android:windowBackground">@android:color/white</item>
<item name="android:windowIsFloating">true</item>
<item name="android:windowCloseOnTouchOutside">false</item>
</style>
The reason I employ a NestedScrollView
is so that the View
will work in both Portrait and Landscape mode.
I wish to limit the height
of the RecyclerView
The closest I have got is using the layout below.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Hope this sentence is long enough to replicate the real-life scenario of this TextView content. Thank you."

By using weightSum
on the inner LinearLayout
of the NestedScrollView
I can limit the height of the Recyclerview
. However the NestedScrollView
height is far too large, with more than half its height being blank.
How can I limit the height of my RecyclerView
and get NestedScrollView
to wrap_content
?
I've tried NestedScrollView
with height wrap_content
but this has no effect.
How can I achieve the desired UI? Thanks in advance!
