Set max lines on FlowLayout

[amsiddh]

How can we set max lines on the FlowLayout. Say for example if we need to show only first 3 lines, can you help me how to achieved this.

At the moment this is not supported, you could hardcode view height if your lines are always the same height but this is a dirty hack.

I was already thinking about this feature but it had some unanswered questions so id didn't work on it yet. The man problem here is how to handle items that are not visible in the view. Should we just ignore them or should we make view scrollable? Maybe add additional item at the end of last visible line that would expand view? Thoughts?

I would say that making it scrollable would be preferable over a "View More.." button.. Let me know if I can help with that.

My requirement is to show in one of the screen only two lines of items and when user moves to its detail screen show all items. Therefore in this case we can ignore the additional items, so "View More..." is not needed for now.

I tried this

// added after line 45
private int mMaxNumberLines = -1;

//at line 251 updated - inside onLayout
int numLines = (mMaxNumberLines != -1) ? mMaxNumberLines :  mLines.size();

// added after line 398 - to set max lines
public void setMaxNumberLines(int numLines) {
        mMaxNumberLines = numLines;
}

before adding items to flowlayout dynamically, calling setMaxNumberLines with required num of lines.
It is laying out items properly with set lines, but the FlowLayout container is already measured its height for all items. So it shows items with set num lines with empty space for other lines.
Can anyone help me out how to remove that empty space or any other way to achieve this?
