Not Able To Add Empty View Below Recyclerview

I was trying my hand with recyclerview and floating action button for an app. The problem I encountered is that the floating action button hinders with the buttons in recyclerview.

Solution 1:

Add bottom padding to the RecyclerView. Also, don't use android:layout_height="wrap_content" unless you've overridden onMeasure in the layout manager. Current layout managers do not yet support wrap content.

Add the attribute android:clipToPadding="false" to achieve the goal. As mentioned in comments.

Solution 2:

Here's an example (in this case a listView, but could be anything) underneath a recycler view that takes up the rest of the parent's height. Note layout_alignParentBottom and layout_above attributes.

<RelativeLayoutandroid:layout_width="fill_parent"android:layout_height="fill_parent"><ListViewandroid:id="@+id/list_view"android:layout_width="match_parent"android:layout_height="wrap_content"android:scrollbars="none"
    **android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"**
    /><android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerViewandroid:layout_width="match_parent"android:layout_height="match_parent"android:scrollbars="vertical"android:layout_above="@+id/list_view"
    />

Solution 3:

I have created an utility method for that so you can add padding easily

publicvoidaddLastChildPadding(RecyclerView.ViewHolder holder,int padding,int recyclerListSize,int position){

if(recyclerListSize-1==position){
holder.itemView.setPadding(0,0,0,padding);
}
}

Solution 4:

Try this at once

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><LinearLayoutxmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"android:layout_width="match_parent"android:layout_height="match_parent"android:orientation="vertical"><RelativeLayoutandroid:layout_width="match_parent"android:layout_height="match_parent"><RelativeLayoutandroid:layout_width="match_parent"android:layout_height="wrap_content"><android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerViewandroid:layout_width="match_parent"android:layout_height="match_parent"android:clipToPadding="false"></android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView></RelativeLayout><RelativeLayoutandroid:layout_width="match_parent"android:layout_height="wrap_content"android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"android:layout_marginBottom="15dp"><LinearLayoutandroid:layout_width="match_parent"android:layout_height="wrap_content"android:layout_marginLeft="20dp"android:layout_marginRight="20dp"android:orientation="horizontal"><android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatButtonandroid:layout_width="0dp"android:layout_height="wrap_content"android:layout_marginRight="15dp"android:layout_weight="1"android:background="@drawable/button_primary_color_border"android:text="70%"android:textColor="@android:color/darker_gray"android:textSize="20sp" /><android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatButtonandroid:layout_width="0dp"android:layout_height="wrap_content"android:layout_marginRight="15dp"android:layout_weight="1"android:background="@drawable/button_primary_color_border"android:text="60%"android:textColor="@android:color/darker_gray"android:textSize="20sp" /></LinearLayout></RelativeLayout></RelativeLayout></LinearLayout></LinearLayout>
