Get visible items in RecyclerView
(11 answers)
Closed 3 years ago.
I have been looking for a proper API for what I need to do and I am all but certain that there has to be an API. But I am not finding it.
Here is my problem:
I am displaying an ArrayList inside a recycler view. What I need is to know what item in the ArrayList is showing at the top of the recycler view as I scroll up and down. Here is how I set up my recycler view (nothing special):
private ArrayList<Transaction> filteredTransactions = new ArrayList<>();
...
recyclerView = view.findViewById(R.id.feed_recycle_view);
recyclerView.setHasFixedSize(true);
LinearLayoutManager linearLayoutManager = new LinearLayoutManager((getActivity()));
adapter = new FeedAdapter(filteredTransactions);
recyclerView.setLayoutManager(linearLayoutManager);
recyclerView.setAdapter(adapter);
I came across
recyclerView.addOnScrollListener(new RecyclerView.OnScrollListener() {
#Override
public void onScrolled(#NonNull RecyclerView recyclerView, int dx, int dy) {
super.onScrolled(recyclerView, dx, dy);
}
that provides the listener I need, but I can't figure out how to get the item that appears on top of the view from it.
Thanks in advance
findFirstCompletelyVisibleItemPosition() will return the adapter position of the first fully visible view.
You can do it like this:
recyclerView.addOnScrollListener(new RecyclerView.OnScrollListener() {
#Override
public void onScrolled(#NonNull RecyclerView recyclerView, int dx, int dy) {
super.onScrolled(recyclerView, dx, dy);
int itemPoition = ((LinearLayoutManager) recyclerView.getLayoutManager()).findFirstCompletelyVisibleItemPosition();
// Get the item from the list
mList.get(itemPoition)
}
You can use the following methods of the LinearLayoutManager
int findFirstVisibleItemPosition();
int findFirstCompletelyVisibleItemPosition();
int findLastVisibleItemPosition();
int findLastCompletelyVisibleItemPosition();
Read the official document
There are some methods which are available in Linear Layout manager like
findFirstCompletelyVisibleItemPosition()
int findFirstVisibleItemPosition()
int findLastCompletelyVisibleItemPosition()
findLastVisibleItemPosition()
Go through the documentation it will surely help you.
I am trying to build a layout with recyclerview and gridview side by side. I need to sync scroll of both views. Currently, I managed to sync recyclerView with gridView:
recyclerView.addOnScrollListener(new RecyclerView.OnScrollListener() {
#Override
public void onScrolled(#NonNull RecyclerView recyclerView, int dx, int dy) {
gridView.scrollBy(0, dy);
}
});
The problem: when gridView is scrolled - cell that are outside of screen do not appear, it's empty.
Second problem: how to sync gridview scrolling with recyclerview?
Thank you for your answers!
How do I get the position of a list item that's on focus after scrolling the RecyclerView? Will this work?
recyclerview1.addOnScrollListener(new RecyclerView.OnScrollListener())
If yes, then how?
Yes there are two ways of doing this.
One using onBindViewHolder , in onBindViewHolder add
Log.d("onBindViewHolder", "position =>"+position);
count++; //for the position
but remember in this way count call several time for each news and you must count only in first call.
Other way around is using layoutManagers i.e LinearLayoutManager or GridLayoutManager by doing this
int firstVisiblePosition = layoutManager.findFirstVisibleItemPosition();
int lastVisiblePosition = layoutManager.findLastVisibleItemPosition();
OR for scrollListener you can do this
recycler.addOnScrollListener(new RecyclerView.OnScrollListener() {
#Override
public void onScrolled(RecyclerView recyclerView, int dx, int dy) {
super.onScrolled(recyclerView, dx, dy);
//you can use other methods as per your requirements
Toast.makeText(mContext, "Scrolled to"+layoutManager.findLastCompletelyVisibleItemPosition(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
})
Hope this helps you.
I just faced this problem, and i got I put the recyclerView in scrollView So please never put the recyclerview inside the scrollView that may also cause mLayoutManager.findFirstVisibleItemPosition() that always return a fixed value. and also check recyclerview.setNestedScrollingEnabled(false);
I want to implement a recyclerview where the first visible items text color should change when scrolling. ie, the first visible item of recycler view have different color than other row items. I already tried several techniches but none of those worked. below is snap of my code
mListView.addOnScrollListener(new RecyclerView.OnScrollListener() {
#Override
public void onScrolled(RecyclerView recyclerView, int dx, int dy) {
super.onScrolled(recyclerView, dx, dy);
if (!getUserVisibleHint()){
return;
}
int firstVisiblePosition=layoutManager.findFirstCompletelyVisibleItemPosition();
if (firstVisiblePosition==mLastReadPosition)return;
if(firstVisiblePosition!=-1){
View view =layoutManager.findViewByPosition(firstVisiblePosition);
listAdapter.setViewRead(view,firstVisiblePosition);
if (mLastReadView!=null){
listAdapter.setViewUnRead(mLastReadView);
}
mLastReadView=view;
mLastReadPosition=firstVisiblePosition;
}
}
this work when I scroll reversely,but not working on forward scrolling. I already searched for libraries in GitHub, If you know any libraries please suggest. Or help me for resolve this>?
I need to know which elements are currently displayed in my RecyclerView. There is no equivalent to the OnScrollListener.onScroll(...) method on ListViews. I tried to work with View.getGlobalVisibleRect(...), but that hack is too ugly and does not always work too.
Someone any ideas?
First / last visible child depends on the LayoutManager.
If you are using LinearLayoutManager or GridLayoutManager, you can use
int findFirstVisibleItemPosition();
int findFirstCompletelyVisibleItemPosition();
int findLastVisibleItemPosition();
int findLastCompletelyVisibleItemPosition();
For example:
GridLayoutManager layoutManager = ((GridLayoutManager)mRecyclerView.getLayoutManager());
int firstVisiblePosition = layoutManager.findFirstVisibleItemPosition();
For LinearLayoutManager, first/last depends on the adapter ordering. Don't query children from RecyclerView; LayoutManager may prefer to layout more items than visible for caching.
For those who have a logic to be implemented inside the RecyclerView adapter, you can still use the #ernesto approach combined with an on scrollListener to get what you want as the RecyclerView is consulted.
Inside the adapter you will have something like this:
#Override
public void onAttachedToRecyclerView(#NonNull RecyclerView recyclerView) {
super.onAttachedToRecyclerView(recyclerView);
RecyclerView.LayoutManager manager = recyclerView.getLayoutManager();
if(manager instanceof LinearLayoutManager && getItemCount() > 0) {
LinearLayoutManager llm = (LinearLayoutManager) manager;
recyclerView.addOnScrollListener(new RecyclerView.OnScrollListener() {
#Override
public void onScrollStateChanged(#NonNull RecyclerView recyclerView, int newState) {
super.onScrollStateChanged(recyclerView, newState);
}
#Override
public void onScrolled(#NonNull RecyclerView recyclerView, int dx, int dy) {
super.onScrolled(recyclerView, dx, dy);
int visiblePosition = llm.findFirstCompletelyVisibleItemPosition();
if(visiblePosition > -1) {
View v = llm.findViewByPosition(visiblePosition);
//do something
v.setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#777777"));
}
}
});
}
}
Finally, I found a solution to know if the current item is visible, from the onBindViewHolder event in the adapter.
The key is the method isViewPartiallyVisible from LayoutManager.
In your adapter, you can get the LayoutManager from the RecyclerView, which you get as parameter from the onAttachedToRecyclerView event.
You can use recyclerView.getChildAt() to get each visible child, and setting some tag convertview.setTag(index) on these view in adapter code will help you to relate it with adapter data.
Addendum:
The proposed functions findLast...Position() do not work correctly in a scenario with a collapsing toolbar while the toolbar is expanded.
It seems that the recycler view has a fixed height, and while the toolbar is expanded, the recycler is moved down, partially out of the screen. As a consequence the results of the proposed functions are too high. Example: The last visible item is told to be #9, but in fact item #7 is the last one that is on screen.
This behaviour is also the reason why my view often failed to scroll to the correct position, i.e. scrollToPosition() did not work correctly (I finally collapsed the toolbar programmatically).
Every answer above is correct and I would like to add also a snapshot from my working codes.
recycler.addOnScrollListener(new RecyclerView.OnScrollListener() {
#Override
public void onScrollStateChanged(RecyclerView recyclerView, int newState) {
super.onScrollStateChanged(recyclerView, newState);
// Some code when initially scrollState changes
}
#Override
public void onScrolled(RecyclerView recyclerView, int dx, int dy) {
super.onScrolled(recyclerView, dx, dy);
// Some code while the list is scrolling
LinearLayoutManager lManager = (LinearLayoutManager) recyclerView.getLayoutManager();
int firstElementPosition = lManager.findFirstVisibleItemPosition();
}
});
Following Linear / Grid LayoutManager methods can be used to check which items are visible.
int findFirstVisibleItemPosition();
int findLastVisibleItemPosition();
int findFirstCompletelyVisibleItemPosition();
int findLastCompletelyVisibleItemPosition();
and if you want to track is item visible on screen for some threshold then you can refer to the following blog.

For StaggeredGridLayoutManager do this:
RecyclerView rv = findViewById(...);
StaggeredGridLayoutManager lm = new StaggeredGridLayoutManager(...);
rv.setLayoutManager(lm);
And to get visible item views:
int[] viewsIds = lm.findFirstCompletelyVisibleItemPositions(null);
ViewHolder firstViewHolder = rvPlantios.findViewHolderForLayoutPosition(viewsIds[0]);
View itemView = viewHolder.itemView;
Remember to check if it is empty.
You can find the first and last visible children of the recycle view and check if the view you're looking for is in the range:
var visibleChild: View = rv.getChildAt(0)
val firstChild: Int = rv.getChildAdapterPosition(visibleChild)
visibleChild = rv.getChildAt(rv.childCount - 1)
val lastChild: Int = rv.getChildAdapterPosition(visibleChild)
println("first visible child is: $firstChild")
println("last visible child is: $lastChild")
For those who are looking for an answer in Kotlin:
fun getVisibleItem(recyclerView : RecyclerView) {
recyclerView.addOnScrollListener(object: RecyclerView.OnScrollListener() {
override fun onScrollStateChanged(recyclerView: RecyclerView, newState: Int) {
if(newState == RecyclerView.SCROLL_STATE_IDLE) {
val index = (recyclerView.layoutManager.findFirstVisibleItemPosition
//use this index for any operation you want to perform on the item visible on screen. eg. log(arrayList[index])
}
}
})
}
You can explore other methods for getting the position as per your use case.
int findFirstCompletelyVisibleItemPosition()
int findLastVisibleItemPosition()
int findLastCompletelyVisibleItemPosition()
if the visible item position is different from the item position toast message will show on the screen.
myRecyclerview.addOnScrollListener(new RecyclerView.OnScrollListener() {
#Override
public void onScrollStateChanged(#NonNull RecyclerView recyclerView, int newState) {
super.onScrollStateChanged(recyclerView, newState);
LinearLayoutManager manager= (LinearLayoutManager) myRecyclerview.getLayoutManager();
assert manager != null;
int visiblePosition = manager.findLastCompletelyVisibleItemPosition();
if(visiblePosition > -1&&a!=visiblePosition) {
Toast.makeText(context,String.valueOf(visiblePosition),Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
//do something
a=visiblePosition;
}
}
#Override
public void onScrolled(#NonNull RecyclerView recyclerView, int dx, int dy) {
super.onScrolled(recyclerView, dx, dy);
//Some code while the list is scrolling
}
});
