Adaptable grid layout

[BlindsidedGames]

This would be a major selling point for me developing applications that run on both phone and tablet is a nightmare in unities base UI system.

for example something that fits maybe 2 side by side on a phone could fit 4-6 on an iPad. What I really want to see is a grid that automatically overflows to the next line based on screen width. With say min/max column count setting.

Edit: Flow layout group as per this Discussion

Any updates as to when this would be implemented - I'm currently wanting to do work with grids (icons lists) whereby they are network-spawned Gameobjects. Not having a good 'grid' layout flow feature means I can only use verticle lists.

Basically a replacement for this standard unity action

Updated timeline :)

In the meantime, one option to achieve something similar would be nesting horizontal layouts within vertical layouts. You would need to track the "target" row to parent newly spawned objects to (and point to the next row once the "target" row is filled), but otherwise it's quite close to this!

Hi folks!

Just wanted to provide a brief update on this, as it's been marked as "In Progress" for unfortunately longer than we anticipated. The feature work started in late December but admittedly slowed down a bit over the holidays as well as took a back seat to prioritize a few other features, stability, new tutorials, user support, etc. Hence the delay.

As of recently, this adaptive grid combined with "expand to fill remaining space" are back on top of our priorities list and underway! It will be at least a few more weeks before we wrap up implementation, testing, documentation, etc., but optimistically it will be live within the next month or so! Now I do want to clarify that's not a guaranteed timeline, as new things always come up or proper implementation takes more time than we originally estimated, but it's a reasonable guess if all goes according to plan :)

We're excited to get this one out there, and we appreciate you all being so patient!

Any progress on this one?... just wanted to check back with you guys - before I started to do the 'semi-workable' icon grid system i have already.

Yes, it's coming very soon! Hopefully submitted to the Asset Store for approval early next week. We'll be sure to update this thread once it's officially submitted and again when the update is finally published.

Submitted to the Asset Store for review, so it should be available within the next few business days!

Wonderful! Do you have, or will provide instructions, examples on use?

Yes, all the new functionality will be documented on our website along with mini sample videos, similar in content/style to what's in our existing Layout Features article.

Our hope is most current Nova users will ramp up on the new features pretty quickly, but of course anyone's welcome to follow up here with questions if they have any trouble or if there's something the documentation doesn't cover sufficiently!

These feature have just been published in v.1.2.0!

Please note the breaking change!
