GridLayoutManager - how to auto fit columns?
I have a RecyclerView with a GridLayoutManager that displays Card Views. I want the cards to rearrange according to the screen size (the Google Play app does this kind of thing with its app cards). Here is an example:
Here is how my app looks at the moment:
As you can see the cards just stretch and don't fit the empty space that is made from the orientation change. So how can I do this?
