How do I make WRAP_CONTENT work on a RecyclerView

Question

I have a DialogFragment that contains a RecyclerView (a list of cards).

Within this RecyclerView are one or more CardVi

Answer 1

RecyclerView added support for wrap_content in 23.2.0 which was buggy , 23.2.1 was just stable , so you can use:

compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:24.2.0'

You can see the revision history here:

Note:

Also note that after updating support library the RecyclerView will respect wrap_content as well as match_parent so if you have a Item View of a RecyclerView set as match_parent the single view will fill whole screen
