Two-way scrolling with RecyclerView - android

How do you display a list of item that is very large on one side (either horizontally / vertically), and allow it to be freely scrolled / dragged - like Google Sheets?
I've tried using a NestedScrollView with a RecyclerView, but you can only scroll in one direction at a time, and I need it to be able to be freely dragged around (no pinch / zoom functionality is required, but if it can be done it's a bonus).
Here's a GIF of what I've tried, it works but it's definitely not what I'm looking for.
This is the layout file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<include
layout="#layout/include_toolbar"
android:id="#+id/toolbar" />
<android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
android:id="#+id/recycler_biscroll"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView>
</LinearLayout>

I finally got an answer: Use a custom LayoutManager implementation.
I removed the outer ScrollView, added FixedGridLayoutManager on my code, then used it as the RecyclerView's layout manager:
FixedGridLayoutManager layoutManager = new FixedGridLayoutManager();
layoutManager.setTotalColumnCount(adapter.getItemCount()); // This probably needs to update when item count is changed
recyclerView.setLayoutManager(layoutManager);

Have you tried putting the recycler view inside a scroll view?

How to trigger a recyclerview scroll listener when it is inside a scroll view?

How to trigger a recyclerview scroll listener when it is inside a scroll view?
Here the scroll view listener is alone triggering
1. Set nested scrolling enabled false of recycler view.
recyclerView.setNestedScrollingEnabled(false);
2. Add scroll listner to nested scrollview.
mScrollView.getViewTreeObserver().addOnScrollChangedListener(new
ViewTreeObserver.OnScrollChangedListener() {
#Override
public void onScrollChanged()
{
View view = (View)mScrollView.getChildAt(mScrollView.getChildCount() - 1);
int diff = (view.getBottom() - (mScrollView.getHeight() + mScrollView
.getScrollY()));
if (diff == 0) {
// your pagination code
}
}
});
Try with NestedScrollView instead of ScrollView.
NestedScrollView is just like ScrollView, but it supports acting as both a nested scrolling parent and child on both new and old versions of Android. Nested scrolling is enabled by default.
Note: You have to set setNestedScrollingEnable(false) to your recylerview.
in xml add android:nestedScrollingEnabled="false" in recyclerview
OR
programmatically yourRecylerview.setNestedScrollingEnabled(false);
See this article.
You can try this one, but still I assuming you may have the same code like mine as you didnot post your needed code into your question.
Try this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView
android:id="#+id/nestedScrollView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:overScrollMode="never">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical">
<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
android:id="#+id/recyclerView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</LinearLayout>
</android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView>
</LinearLayout>
Use NestedScrollView with <android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView as I have mention above.
Its ScrollListener will not work as all the rows gets layed when recyclerview is inside scrollview whole purpose of recyclerview gets destroyed when you put it inside scroll view.
For Example as the recyclerview will stretch to full fill its parent ,when you will put it inside scroll view , in case of scroll view it will stretch to its fullest. if there are 1000 items in recyclerview all it will draw 1000 different rows which is also a performance issue.
You should remove it from a scroll view to make its scroll listener working

RecyclerView as child of NestedScrollView - not recycling views

I am trying to create a scroll-able area which will contain various sections of the following types:
Horizontal Recycling Section
Vertical Recycling Section
Text Section
The approach I am taking is to have a NestedRecyclerView as the parent scroll view for all the child sections. This view looks like so:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
<androidx.coordinatorlayout.widget.CoordinatorLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<com.google.android.material.appbar.AppBarLayout
android:id="#+id/mynav_appbarLayout"
android:background="?attr/themeToolbarBg"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<include
android:id="#+id/mynav_toolbar"
layout="#layout/actionbar_toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</com.google.android.material.appbar.AppBarLayout>
<androidx.core.widget.NestedScrollView
android:id="#+id/nestedScrollView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fillViewport="true"
app:layout_behavior="com.google.android.material.appbar.AppBarLayout$ScrollingViewBehavior">
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"/>
</androidx.core.widget.NestedScrollView>
</androidx.coordinatorlayout.widget.CoordinatorLayout>
</layout>
Then, for each section type I am creating a corresponding view binding and adding it as a child to the LinearLayout which is inside the NestedScrollView.
There are 2 types of section layout, one which is a simple TextView (which I will omit here as it is not relevant) the other of which is a view which contains a RecyclerView. The layout manager for this RecyclerView is created dynamically depending on whether the section it is to be used for is a horizontal or vertical section.
The layout with the RecyclerView in looks like so:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:focusable="true"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/title"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginStart="24dp"
android:layout_marginTop="8dp"/>
<androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView
android:id="#+id/fooBarsRecycler"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_marginStart="16dp"
android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
android:nestedScrollingEnabled="false"
app:layout_behavior="com.google.android.material.appbar.AppBarLayout$ScrollingViewBehavior"/>
</LinearLayout>
</layout>
Now, when I am adding these views to the parent NestedScrollView's LinearLayout and setting up the LayoutManager for the associated RecyclerView to orientation Horizontal it works fine, but, when I use orientation Vertical (which is the same orientation as the NestedScrollView) the RecyclerView is NOT recycling views. Obviously this is leading to unacceptable performance.
After doing about a days worth of research and banging my head against the wall it appears that having a RecyclerView nested within a NestedScrollView with the same orientation as the NestedScrollView causes the RecyclerView to lose it's recycler functionality.
As you can hopefully see from the above layout, I have tried all the suggestions I could find, making sure the RecyclerView's height is not wrap_content, using layout_behaviour, setting the NestedRecyclerView to fill view port and so on.
I have exhausted 6 pages of google search around this issue and have tried every suggestion I have found either on SO or blogs and nothing is working.
Oddly, if I swap out the NestedScrollView for a ScrollView, the vertical RecyclerView regains it's recycler functionality, but now scrolls independently of the parent ScrollView which doesn't meet our requirements.
Is this a solved problem or do I need to rethink my entire solution? I.e. am I just missing an attribute or doing something wrong in the XML or is it fundamentally an issue with using a RecyclerView inside a NestedScrollView with the same orientation?
Here is the list of resources, the suggestions of which I have tried exhaustively to no avail:

As per a suggestion in the comments, I could model this with a multi type adapter, which is something I have done before but for this particular problem I am not sure this approach will work.
I think the comment is suggesting I model it like so:
Where the adapter would adapt types:
Horizontal Section
Text Section
Card Section
But, the requirement is this:
So, as you can hopefully see, the RecyclerView will have a LinearLayoutManager with orientation Vertical, but, once we hit the cards, they have to be laid out in a grid fashion, which of course the LinearLayoutManager does not support. So, perhaps I can have the final section be another RecyclerView with a GridLayoutManager? But, I tried this last night and it didn't work, there were scrolling issues as the bottom most RecyclerView is scrolling vertically within the outermost RecyclerView which is also scrolling vertically.

How to stop the scroll of particular view at position for RecyclerView android?

I have recycler view.At position 0 ,I had made header and from position 1 rest of the items will come.This is my layout
<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout
android:id="#+id/main_content"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<android.support.v4.widget.SwipeRefreshLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/swipe_container"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_marginTop="2dp">
<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/recyler_view"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_marginTop="2dp"
android:background="#color/listview"
/>
</android.support.v4.widget.SwipeRefreshLayout>
</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>
I want when i scroll my recycler view , and when half the header is scrolled up,the remaining header get stick at top ,and other items of recycler view scroll.And after certain point the sticky part of header also moves up.How to achive it.
To make a sticky header you need to provide ItemDecorator to RecyclerView
If You want to do something like this .
The library is currently not maintained. You need to make some changes by yourself.
How ItemDecorator works:-
ItemDecorator gives you power to draw something over RecyclerView. In your case you want to put a sticky header for some time and after next header item you want to replace the new header with earlier one.
So Using ItemDecorator you can draw same header view over RecyclerView top position which look like to user as a header item is get fixed on top and when next header item comes it will replace with new one.
Hope It will helps you.

Layout Jerking when RecyclerView inside a ScrollView

Im creating RecyclerView and ListView inside ScrollView and im getting problems with the scroll.. The scroll is Jerking (unable to get smooth scroll), I know its the problem with the RecyclerView inside the ScrollView, because layout is scrolling without any problem when swiping until the ListView exists but once RecyclerView items enter the layout it starts to jerk( only scrolling with the finger, no proper scroll when finger is taken off). Here is the code in the xml
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fillViewport="true">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<ListView
android:id="#+id/lv_home_dropdown"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:divider="#color/colorWhite"
android:dividerHeight="0.5dp"
android:visibility="gone"/>
<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/recycleView"
android:background="#color/colorWhite">
</android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView>
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
Nested views that scroll along the same axis have always been
problematic on Android. Recently Google has added nested scrolling
support. In order to have this on older platform levels, you should
use the views in the support library like NestedScrollView and
RecyclerView.
ListView does not work with wrap_content as its height. You can do
this with RecyclerView if you have the latest version of the
RecyclerView support library. Besides, you are already using RecyclerView in one place, you might as well use them exclusively.
ListView is not really meant to be a "drop down". Perhaps you should consider a Spinner instead.
I have it finally.!!
Just add the following line of code in you class where you are calling the RecyclerView
mRecyclerView = (RecyclerView)tmpView.findViewById(R.id.recycleView);
mRecyclerView.setNestedScrollingEnabled(false);
It works for me!

Create a RecyclerView with both horizontal and vertical scrolling

Over the past few weeks I've been learning to use the RecyclerView. I need to implement a horizontal list, ie, that by turning the device in landscape mode like so:
I found the best solution for this (how to create the horizontal displacement of RecyclerView, here), but encountered another problem. The item RecyclerView was larger than the height of the device (in landscape, horizontal), so I need to create a vertical and horizontal displacement, simultaneously.
I looked at the Android Developer methods for the LayoutManager class, but my skills are not high enough to understand most of the methods. I also tried putting a RecyclerView vertically inside another RecyclerView horizontally with all the content, but I get error:
IllegalStateException: RecyclerView has no LayoutManager
To rememedy this I removed all <View ... /> elements from the XML file, but this does not give any results.
To clarify what I am asking: is it possible to have my layout scroll both horizontally and vertically, and if you could explain how I would appreciate it.
I was so angry about all the problems that had tended with the application that had not thought about the easiest solution.
In a RecyclerView consists of two XML files, the main one where the RecyclerView is declared and another with content.
The simplest solution was to introduce the RecyclerView within a ScrollView. So I can move all items at a time thanks to ScrollView vertically and horizontally I can move the items thanks to RecyclerView in landscape mode.
activity_main.xml
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_margin="#dimen/cardIn_margin_ext">
<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
android:id="#+id/recycler_view"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:scrollbarStyle="outsideInset"
android:scrollbars="horizontal" />
</ScrollView>
The accepted answer did'nt work for me. I had to use the HorizontalScrollView instead of simple ScrollView.
<HorizontalScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_margin="#dimen/cardIn_margin_ext">
<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
android:id="#+id/recycler_view"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:scrollbarStyle="outsideInset"
android:scrollbars="horizontal" />
</HorizontalScrollView >
