RecyclerView wrap_content

Solution

It is related on how the LayoutManager calculates the sizes. Here you have the related bug with some workarounds people have used.

NOTE: With the release 23.2 of the support library now the wrap content is supported, so looks like they fixed it. You can checkout the changelog here

Problem

I am trying to center a RecyclerView when its layout_width is wrap_content without success ``` <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:gravity="center_horizontal" android:orientation="vertical"> <android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView android:id="@+id/rv_schemes" android:scrollbars="vertical" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"/> </LinearLayout> ``` When the RecyclerView is given any definite layout_width of say 200dp then it does center otherwise it just aligns left. How to make the RecyclerView center_horizontal when its layout_width is wrap_content ?
