I am new in Android Development. I am trying to display a list of cards in the screen with only one card at a time on the screen using RecyclerView. But unfortunately cards that I designed are not filling entire screen width as expected, as you can see in the image given below. How I can stretch these cards to fill in the entire screen (width wise, height is wrap content). Is there any possible solution to this problem?
My Code:
activity_sub.xml
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<include
android:id="@+id/appBar"
layout="@layout/app_bar"/>
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Horizontal Card List"
android:textSize="16sp"
android:padding="3dp"
android:background="#CCCCCC" />
<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
android:id="@+id/hrlist_recycler_view"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:scrollbars="horizontal" />
</LinearLayout>
custom_card.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:padding="8dp"
android:tag="contains Cards main Container">
<android.support.v7.widget.CardView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="@+id/card_view"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:elevation="10dp"
app:cardBackgroundColor="#B6B6B6">
<TextView
android:id="@+id/card_text"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
android:padding="20dp"
android:text="Card 1"
android:textSize="30sp" />
</android.support.v7.widget.CardView>
</LinearLayout>
