I need to set the top margin on a RecyclerView programmatically, but I get this exception:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to resume activity java.lang.ClassCastException: android.view.ViewGroup$LayoutParams cannot be cast to android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView$LayoutParams
Here is my code:
RecyclerView.LayoutParams layoutParams = (RecyclerView.LayoutParams)recyclerView.getLayoutParams();
int marginTopDp = (int)getResources().getDimension(R.dimen.margin);
int marginTopPx = (int) (marginTopDp * getResources().getDisplayMetrics().density + 0.5f);
layoutParams.setMargins(0, marginTopPx, 0, 0);
recyclerView.setLayoutParams(layoutParams);
If I use the ViewGroup.LayoutParams layoutParams = recyclerView.getLayoutParams
as the stack trace suggests, I cannot call setMargin
anymore as that method does not exist for ViewGroup.LayoutParams
.
Any help would be appreciated.
Try this out. You can refer to this for more info.
ViewGroup.MarginLayoutParams marginLayoutParams = new ViewGroup.MarginLayoutParams(mRecyclerView.getLayoutParams());
marginLayoutParams.setMargins(0, 10, 0, 10);
mRecyclerView.setLayoutParams(marginLayoutParams);
for me, the parent of recyclerview
is a constraintLayout
,
val margins = (rv.layoutParams as ConstraintLayout.LayoutParams).apply {
leftMargin = 0
rightMargin = 0
}
rv.layoutParams = margins
or it will get cast error, viewGroup.LayoutParams can't be cast to COnstarintLayout.LayoutParams
You need use new object of MargingLayoutParams
final FrameLayout.MarginLayoutParams marginLayoutParams = new
FrameLayout.MarginLayoutParams(rvContacts.getLayoutParams());
marginLayoutParams.leftMargin = left;
marginLayoutParams.topMargin = top;
marginLayoutParams.rightMargin = right;
marginLayoutParams.bottomMargin = bottom;
recyclerView.setLayoutParams(marginLayoutParams);
recyclerView.requestLayout();
