How to Create a RecyclerView Grid Layout in Android with 2 Columns

Creating visually appealing layouts is an essential part of Android app development. One common requirement is to display items in a grid format. If you're looking to create a RecyclerView that showcases items in a 2-column grid layout, you've come to the right place! In this guide, we'll guide you step-by-step through the process of implementing this feature, and we'll throw in a little interactivity too.

The Problem

You might be wondering how to efficiently display items in a grid format using a RecyclerView in your Android application. Specifically, you want:

A layout that shows items in 2 columns

The ability to click on an item, which will bring up a toast message

Let’s explore how we can accomplish this!

Solution Overview

To create a 2-column grid layout with a RecyclerView, we will utilize the GridLayoutManager. This is a built-in Android class that allows us to define how our items should be arranged in the grid.

Step-by-Step Guide

Set Up the RecyclerView

this refers to the context. If you're in a Fragment, you would use getContext().

The number 2 indicates that we want 2 columns.

Set Up the Adapter
Depending on your data source, you will need to set up an adapter for the RecyclerView. If you don’t have one, here's a basic outline of how you could implement it.
