ursus
03/08/2019, 3:54 AMnot sure, never tried transfering view from one viewgroup to another
ursus
03/08/2019, 3:54 AMhow about recyclerview instead of flowlayout, but with flowlayout manager, and wrap_content height to make it unscrollable and share viewpool

03/08/2019, 3:55 AMThe action of detaching emoji view should be perform at the time which the original layout is being scrolled off screen, so that onViewRecycled will be called on the parent view.

03/08/2019, 3:55 AMUsing a flowLayoutManager can be a way, but I think the effort required is similar to this approach
