Auto scrolling pager not working properly in Android Jetpack Compose

I am learning jetpack compose.I am trying to implement a viewpager in jetpack compose where 5 image will be auto scrolled after 3 sec just like a carousel banner.Everything is alright before last index item image.After auto scroll to last index ,page should be scrolled to 0 index and will repeat.That's where the problem begain.The pager not working perfectly here .It's reapeting 3-4 index and sometimes stuck between to image/page after first auto scroll.
This is the img
My Code
#OptIn(ExperimentalPagerApi::class)
#Composable
fun HorizontalPagerScreen() {
Column(
modifier = Modifier
.fillMaxWidth()
.padding(0.dp, 5.dp)
) {
val items = createItems()
val pagerState = rememberPagerState()
HorizontalPager(
modifier = Modifier
.fillMaxWidth()
.height(250.dp),
count = items.size,
state = pagerState,
verticalAlignment = Alignment.Top,
) { currentPage ->
Image(
painter = rememberAsyncImagePainter(items[currentPage].Image),
contentDescription = items[currentPage].title,
contentScale = ContentScale.Crop,
modifier = Modifier.fillMaxWidth(),
)
//Here's the code for auto scrolling
LaunchedEffect(key1= Unit, key2= pagerState.currentPage) {
while (true) {
yield()
delay(3000)
var newPage = pagerState.currentPage + 1
if (newPage > items.lastIndex) newPage = 0
pagerState.animateScrollToPage(newPage)
}
}
}
}
}
**How to make it auto scroll for infinite times **

You can create a loopingCount variable that you increment every few seconds using a LaunchedEffect and then mod it with the max amount of pages, you also need to take into account if the user is dragging on the pager or not.
The full code sample can be found here, but added below too:
#Composable
fun HorizontalPagerLoopingIndicatorSample() {
Scaffold(
modifier = Modifier.fillMaxSize()
) { padding ->
Column(
Modifier
.fillMaxSize()
.padding(padding)
) {
// Display 10 items
val pageCount = 10
// We start the pager in the middle of the raw number of pages
val loopingCount = Int.MAX_VALUE
val startIndex = loopingCount / 2
val pagerState = rememberPagerState(initialPage = startIndex)
fun pageMapper(index: Int): Int {
return (index - startIndex).floorMod(pageCount)
}
HorizontalPager(
// Set the raw page count to a really large number
pageCount = loopingCount,
state = pagerState,
// Add 32.dp horizontal padding to 'center' the pages
contentPadding = PaddingValues(horizontal = 32.dp),
// Add some horizontal spacing between items
pageSpacing = 4.dp,
modifier = Modifier
.weight(1f)
.fillMaxWidth()
) { index ->
// We calculate the page from the given index
val page = pageMapper(index)
PagerSampleItem(
page = page,
modifier = Modifier
.fillMaxWidth()
.aspectRatio(1f)
)
}
HorizontalPagerIndicator(
pagerState = pagerState,
modifier = Modifier
.align(Alignment.CenterHorizontally)
.padding(16.dp),
pageCount = pageCount,
pageIndexMapping = ::pageMapper
)
val loopState = remember {
mutableStateOf(true)
}
LoopControl(loopState, Modifier.align(Alignment.CenterHorizontally))
ActionsRow(
pagerState = pagerState,
modifier = Modifier.align(Alignment.CenterHorizontally),
infiniteLoop = true
)
var underDragging by remember {
mutableStateOf(false)
}
LaunchedEffect(key1 = Unit) {
pagerState.interactionSource.interactions.collect { interaction ->
when (interaction) {
is PressInteraction.Press -> underDragging = true
is PressInteraction.Release -> underDragging = false
is PressInteraction.Cancel -> underDragging = false
is DragInteraction.Start -> underDragging = true
is DragInteraction.Stop -> underDragging = false
is DragInteraction.Cancel -> underDragging = false
}
}
}
val looping = loopState.value
if (underDragging.not() && looping) {
LaunchedEffect(key1 = underDragging) {
try {
while (true) {
delay(1000L)
val current = pagerState.currentPage
val currentPos = pageMapper(current)
val nextPage = current + 1
if (underDragging.not()) {
val toPage = nextPage.takeIf { nextPage < pageCount } ?: (currentPos + startIndex + 1)
if (toPage > current) {
pagerState.animateScrollToPage(toPage)
} else {
pagerState.scrollToPage(toPage)
}
}
}
} catch (e: CancellationException) {
Log.i("page", "Launched paging cancelled")
}
}
}
}
}
}
#Composable
fun LoopControl(
loopState: MutableState<Boolean>,
modifier: Modifier = Modifier,
) {
IconButton(
onClick = { loopState.value = loopState.value.not() },
modifier = modifier
) {
val icon = if (loopState.value) {
Icons.Default.PauseCircle
} else {
Icons.Default.PlayCircle
}
Icon(imageVector = icon, contentDescription = null)
}
}
private fun Int.floorMod(other: Int): Int = when (other) {
0 -> this
else -> this - floorDiv(other) * other
}

animation o a lazycolumn android

I have a list with 10 items one of them have this elements "rankingCurrentPlace", "rankingPastPlace" and "isUser:true".
What i need to do its an animation on the lazycolumn if the api esponse is like this
"isUser:true", "rankingPastPlace:3" , "rankingCurrentPlace:7"
i need to show an animation in the list where the row starts in the third place and descend to the seventh place
is there a way to do this?
this is what I actually have
LazyColumn(
contentPadding = PaddingValues(horizontal = 10.dp, vertical = 0.dp),
) {
items(
items = leaderboard,
key = { leaderBoard ->
leaderBoard.rankingPlace
}
) { leaderBoard ->
RowComposable( modifier = Modifier
.fillMaxWidth(),
topicsItem = leaderBoard,)
}

This answer works except when swapping first item with any item even with basic swap function without animation. I think it would be better to ask a new question about why swapping first item doesn't work or if it is bug. Other than that works as expected. If you need to move to items that are not in screen you can lazyListState.layoutInfo.visibleItemsInfo and compare with initial item and scroll to it before animation
1.Have a SnapshotStateList of data to trigger recomposition when we swap 2 items
class MyData(val uuid: String, val value: String)
val items: SnapshotStateList<MyData> = remember {
mutableStateListOf<MyData>().apply {
repeat(20) {
add(MyData( uuid = UUID.randomUUID().toString(), "Row $it"))
}
}
}
2.Function to swap items
private fun swap(list: SnapshotStateList<MyData>, from: Int, to: Int) {
val size = list.size
if (from in 0 until size && to in 0 until size) {
val temp = list[from]
list[from] = list[to]
list[to] = temp
}
}
3.Function to swap items one by one. There is a bug with swapping first item. Even if it's with function above when swapping first item other one moves up without showing animation via Modififer.animateItemPlacement().
#Composable
private fun animatedSwap(
lazyListState: LazyListState,
items: SnapshotStateList<MyData>,
from: Int,
to: Int,
onFinish: () -> Unit
) {
LaunchedEffect(key1 = Unit) {
val difference = from - to
val increasing = difference < 0
var currentValue: Int = from
repeat(abs(difference)) {
val temp = currentValue
if (increasing) {
currentValue++
} else {
currentValue--
}
swap(items, temp, currentValue)
if (!increasing && currentValue == 0) {
delay(300)
lazyListState.scrollToItem(0)
}
delay(350)
}
onFinish()
}
}
4.List with items that have Modifier.animateItemPlacement()
val lazyListState = rememberLazyListState()
LazyColumn(
modifier = Modifier
.fillMaxWidth()
.weight(1f),
state = lazyListState,
contentPadding = PaddingValues(horizontal = 10.dp, vertical = 0.dp),
verticalArrangement = Arrangement.spacedBy(4.dp)
) {
items(
items = items,
key = {
it.uuid
}
) {
Row(
modifier = Modifier
.animateItemPlacement(
tween(durationMillis = 200)
)
.shadow(1.dp, RoundedCornerShape(8.dp))
.background(Color.White)
.fillMaxWidth()
.padding(8.dp),
verticalAlignment = Alignment.CenterVertically
) {
Image(
modifier = Modifier
.clip(RoundedCornerShape(10.dp))
.size(50.dp),
painter = painterResource(id = R.drawable.landscape1),
contentScale = ContentScale.FillBounds,
contentDescription = null
)
Spacer(modifier = Modifier.width(10.dp))
Text(it.value, fontSize = 18.sp)
}
}
}
Demo
#OptIn(ExperimentalFoundationApi::class)
#Composable
private fun AnimatedList() {
Column(modifier = Modifier.fillMaxSize()) {
val items: SnapshotStateList<MyData> = remember {
mutableStateListOf<MyData>().apply {
repeat(20) {
add(MyData(uuid = UUID.randomUUID().toString(), "Row $it"))
}
}
}
val lazyListState = rememberLazyListState()
LazyColumn(
modifier = Modifier

.weight(1f),
state = lazyListState,
contentPadding = PaddingValues(horizontal = 10.dp, vertical = 0.dp),

Spacer(modifier = Modifier.width(10.dp))
Text(it.value, fontSize = 18.sp)
}
}
}
var fromString by remember {
mutableStateOf("7")
}
var toString by remember {
mutableStateOf("3")
}
var animate by remember { mutableStateOf(false) }
if (animate) {
val from = try {
Integer.parseInt(fromString)
} catch (e: Exception) {
0
}
val to = try {
Integer.parseInt(toString)
} catch (e: Exception) {
0
}
animatedSwap(
lazyListState = lazyListState,
items = items,
from = from,
to = to
) {
animate = false
}
}
Row(modifier = Modifier.fillMaxWidth()) {
TextField(
value = fromString,
onValueChange = {
fromString = it
},
keyboardOptions = KeyboardOptions(keyboardType = KeyboardType.Number)
)
TextField(
value = toString,
onValueChange = {
toString = it
},
keyboardOptions = KeyboardOptions(keyboardType = KeyboardType.Number)
)
}
Button(
modifier = Modifier
.padding(8.dp)
.fillMaxWidth(),
onClick = {
animate = true
}
) {
Text("Swap")
}
}
}
Edit: Animating with Animatable
Another method for animating is using Animatable with Integer vector.
val IntToVector: TwoWayConverter<Int, AnimationVector1D> =
TwoWayConverter({ AnimationVector1D(it.toFloat()) }, { it.value.toInt() })
val coroutineScope = rememberCoroutineScope()
val animatable = remember { Animatable(0, IntToVector) }
And can be used as
private fun alternativeAnimate(
from: Int,
to: Int,
coroutineScope: CoroutineScope,
animatable: Animatable<Int, AnimationVector1D>,
items: SnapshotStateList<MyData>
) {
val difference = from - to
var currentValue: Int = from
coroutineScope.launch {
animatable.snapTo(from)
animatable.animateTo(to,
tween(350 * abs(difference), easing = LinearEasing),
block = {
val nextValue = this.value
if (abs(currentValue -nextValue) ==1) {
swap(items, currentValue, nextValue)
currentValue = nextValue
}
}
)
}
}
on button click, i'm getting values from TextField fo i convert from String
Button(
modifier = Modifier
.padding(8.dp)
.fillMaxWidth(),
onClick = {
val from = try {
Integer.parseInt(fromString)
} catch (e: Exception) {
0
}
val to = try {
Integer.parseInt(toString)
} catch (e: Exception) {
0
}
alternativeAnimate(from, to, coroutineScope, animatable, items)
}
) {
Text("Swap")
}
Result

I suggest you to get your items from a data class. If your other items does not contain the variables you mentioned you can make them nullable in data class and put a condition checker in your lazycolumn
Like this
data class Items(
val otherItems: Other,
val rankingCurrentPlace: Int?,
val rankingLastPlace: Int?,
val isUser: Boolean?
)
Then you can make a list from this data class and pass it to lazycolumn
LazyColumn{
items(list){
(elements with condition)
}
}

Itemdecoration in Jetpack compose

I am currently in the process of evaluating whether or not we can migrate our rather complex UI to jetpack compose at this stage and I am struggling with the following problem.
I am having an infinite scrolling vertical List of various different conceptual components. Some of them are headers, then there can be some text, some horizontally scrolling (infinite) lists and then there are some grouped components that are also stacked vertically but conceptionally belong to a group.
#Compose
fun MyComplexList() {
LazyColumn {
item {
// some header
}
item {
// some horizontal content
LazyRow {
item {}
}
}
item {
// some other header
}
items(x) {
// Some text for each item
}
}
}
As one can see this thing is rather trivial to do using compose and a lot less code than writing this complex RecyclerView + Adapter...
with one exception: that background gradient, spanning (grouping) the Some infinite list of things component. (the tilted gradient in the image)
In the past (:D) I would use an ItemDecoration on the RecyclerView to draw something across multiple items, but I can't find anything similar to that in Compose.
Does anyone have any idea on how one would achieve this with compose?

After your answer, this is what I understood...
#Composable
fun ListWithGradientBgScreen() {
val lazyListState = rememberLazyListState()
val firstVisibleIndex by remember {
derivedStateOf {
lazyListState.firstVisibleItemIndex
}
}
val totalVisibleItems by remember {
derivedStateOf {
lazyListState.layoutInfo.visibleItemsInfo.size
}
}
val itemsCount = 50
BoxWithConstraints(Modifier.fillMaxSize()) {
ListBg(firstVisibleIndex, totalVisibleItems, itemsCount, maxHeight)
LazyColumn(state = lazyListState, modifier = Modifier.fillMaxSize()) {
item {
Column(
Modifier
.fillMaxWidth()
.background(Color.White)
) {
Text(
text = "Some header",
style = MaterialTheme.typography.h5,
modifier = Modifier.padding(16.dp)
)
}
}
item {
Text(
text = "Some infinite list of things",
style = MaterialTheme.typography.h5,
modifier = Modifier.padding(16.dp)
)
}
items(itemsCount) {
Text(
text = "Item $it",
Modifier
.fillMaxWidth()
.padding(horizontal = 16.dp, vertical = 6.dp)
.background(Color.LightGray)
.padding(8.dp)
)
}
}
}
}
and to change the background in according to the background, you can define something like the following:
#Composable
private fun ListBg(
firstVisibleIndex: Int,
totalVisibleItems: Int,
itemsCount: Int,
maxHeight: Dp
) {
val hasNoScroll = itemsCount <= totalVisibleItems
val totalHeight = if (hasNoScroll) maxHeight else maxHeight * 3
val scrollableBgHeight = if (hasNoScroll) maxHeight else totalHeight - maxHeight
val scrollStep = scrollableBgHeight / (itemsCount + 2 - totalVisibleItems)
val yOffset = if (hasNoScroll) 0.dp else -(scrollStep * firstVisibleIndex)
Box(
Modifier
.wrapContentHeight(unbounded = true, align = Alignment.Top)
.background(Color.Yellow)
.offset { IntOffset(x = 0, y = yOffset.roundToPx()) }
) {
Box(
modifier = Modifier
.fillMaxWidth()
.height(totalHeight)
.drawBehind {
drawRoundRect(
Brush.linearGradient(
0f to Color.Red,
0.6f to Color.DarkGray,
1.0f to Color.Green,
),
)
}
)
}
}
Here is the result:

One of the options:
Replace:
items(x) {
// Some text for each item
}
with:
item {
Column(modifier = Modifier.border(...).background(...)) { //Shape, color etc...
x.forEach {
// Some text for each item
}
}
}

Scroll Multiple LazyRows together - LazyHorizontalGrid alike?

How to assign the same scroll state to two LazyRows, so that both row scrolls together?
Jetpack compose lists currently doesn't have LazyHorizontalGrid, So any alternative solution?
Column{
LazyRow(
modifier = Modifier.fillMaxWidth()
) {
// My sublist1
}
LazyRow(
modifier = Modifier.fillMaxWidth()
) {
// My sublist2
}
}
Trying to implement below:

Update: Google has added the component officially - LazyHorizontalGrid.
I modified the LazyVerticalGrid class, and made it work towards only GridCells.Fixed(n) horizontal grid.
Here is the complete gist code: LazyHorizontalGrid.kt
Main changes
#Composable
#ExperimentalFoundationApi
private fun FixedLazyGrid(
nRows: Int,
modifier: Modifier = Modifier,
state: LazyListState = rememberLazyListState(),
contentPadding: PaddingValues = PaddingValues(0.dp),
scope: LazyGridScopeImpl
) {
val columns = (scope.totalSize + nRows - 1) / nRows
LazyRow(
modifier = modifier,
state = state,
contentPadding = contentPadding,
) {
items(columns) { columnIndex ->
Column {
for (rowIndex in 0 until nRows) {
val itemIndex = columnIndex * nRows + rowIndex
if (itemIndex < scope.totalSize) {
Box(
modifier = Modifier.wrapContentSize(),
propagateMinConstraints = true
) {
scope.contentFor(itemIndex, this#items).invoke()
}
} else {
Spacer(Modifier.weight(1f, fill = true))
}
}
}
}
}
}
Code Usage
LazyHorizontalGrid(
cells = GridCells.Fixed(2)
) {
items(items = restaurantsList){
RestaurantItem(r = it, modifier = Modifier.fillParentMaxWidth(0.8f))
}
}

How to detect up/down scroll for a Column with vertical scroll?

I have a column which has many items; based on the scroll, I want to show/hide the Floating action button, in case the scroll is down, hide it and in case the scroll is up, show it.
My code is working partially, but the scrolling is buggy. Below is the code. Need help.
Column(
Modifier
.background(color = colorResource(id = R.color.background_color))
.fillMaxWidth(1f)
.verticalScroll(scrollState)
.scrollable(
orientation = Orientation.Vertical,
state = rememberScrollableState {
offset.value = it
coroutineScope.launch {
scrollState.scrollBy(-it)
}
it
},
)
) { // 10-20 items }
Based on the offset value (whether positive/negative), I am maintaining the visibility of FAB.

You can use the nestedScroll modifier.
Something like:
val fabHeight = 72.dp //FabSize+Padding
val fabHeightPx = with(LocalDensity.current) { fabHeight.roundToPx().toFloat() }
val fabOffsetHeightPx = remember { mutableStateOf(0f) }
val nestedScrollConnection = remember {
object : NestedScrollConnection {
override fun onPreScroll(available: Offset, source: NestedScrollSource): Offset {
val delta = available.y
val newOffset = fabOffsetHeightPx.value + delta
fabOffsetHeightPx.value = newOffset.coerceIn(-fabHeightPx, 0f)
return Offset.Zero
}
}
}
Since composable supports nested scrolling just apply it to the Scaffold:
Scaffold(
Modifier.nestedScroll(nestedScrollConnection),
scaffoldState = scaffoldState,
//..
floatingActionButton = {
FloatingActionButton(
modifier = Modifier
.offset { IntOffset(x = 0, y = -fabOffsetHeightPx.value.roundToInt()) },
onClick = {}
) {
Icon(Icons.Filled.Add,"")
}
},
content = { innerPadding ->
Column(
Modifier
.fillMaxWidth(1f)
.verticalScroll(rememberScrollState())
) {
//....your code
}
}
)
It can work with a Column with verticalScroll and also with a LazyColumn.
