Centralize Recyclerview Items with Flexboxlayoutmanager

Question

I’m using Flexboxlayoutmanager to align the items, but I need all items to be aligned in the center, regardless of the amount of items (dynamically).

I want these items to stay like this:

But what I’ve done stays that way:

(I want the yo-yo to stay downtown)

How I defined the layoutmanager:

val layoutManager = FlexboxLayoutManager(this)
layoutManager.setFlexWrap(FlexWrap.WRAP)
layoutManager.setFlexDirection(FlexDirection.ROW)
layoutManager.setJustifyContent(JustifyContent.FLEX_START)
layoutManager.setAlignItems(AlignItems.FLEX_START)

val adapter = TagAdapter(tags)
tagRecyclerView.adapter = adapter
tagRecyclerView.layoutManager = layoutManager

I tried to use layoutManager.setAlignItems(AlignItems.CENTER) but it doesn’t work

Answer 1

Wouldn’t that just be no?

layoutManager.setAlignItems(AlignItems.CENTER)

or

layoutManager.setJustifyContent(AlignItems.CENTER)
