lparams when using adapters

[adipascu]

I have a recycler view adapter, I am creating the item views with anko.
I want the item views to match the width of the container but I am unable to set the proper lparams for them.

Previously when inflating views from XML
LayoutInflater.from(parent.context).inflate(R.layout.test, parentView, false)

The root element inside R.layout.test has the layout_width="match_parent"

Right now I am unsure how to properly create a view using anko that is based on parentView's width

The anko example repo relies on the fact that the layout parameter defaults to match_parent (it uses a ListView, I use a RecyclerView)

Add you item view to relativelayout with item view width matchparent

this is how I'm creating item views:
https://github.com/adelnizamutdinov/kasosalo/blob/master/app/src/main/kotlin/adeln/zasosalo/res/layout/message-item.kt#L25-L67
basically you'll need to create some container to get the access to lparams

or you could manually call setLayoutParams on any kind of view

Is there any solution for this? Because I'm stuck getting it to work with width = matchParent, and I'm not to excited about introducing a container around my view.

@nomisRev probably a little late, but ran into the same issue, and this is what it's working for me:

https://github.com/antoniolg/Bandhook-Kotlin/blob/888d01a52270097492443202f700ed751326ad46/app/src/main/java/com/antonioleiva/bandhookkotlin/ui/adapter/TracksAdapter.kt#L53-L53

Basically, using an AnkoContext of the proper parent, and doing it inside the ViewGroup, instead of doing it at the end:

        override fun createView(ui: AnkoContext<RecyclerView>) = with(ui) {

            linearLayout {

                lparams(width = matchParent)
                padding = dip(16)

                ...
            }

        }

Not sure if this is the best way, just been playing with Anko for a few hours.
