how to achieve on androidTV scrolling mechanism like Netflix with RecyclerView

I am trying to achieve horizontal scroll mechanism on AndroidTV like Netflix
I tried to use SnapHelper without success and also override LinearLayoutManager smoothScroll
it looks nice but is not perfect and also bit lag.
When I am perform long press, the movement doesn't smoothie and sometimes its stuck.
I am receiving focus callback from the next item while I am tapping left or right on the controller and then using recyclerview.smoothScroolToPostion.
anyone can help me with that?
recyclerView.setAdapter(new MyAdapter(new FocusListener() {
#Override
public void dispatchFocusChanged(View view, boolean gainFocus) {
if(gainFocus) {
int position = recyclerView.getChildAdapterPosition(view);
recyclerView.smoothScrollToPosition(position);
}
}
}));
LinearLayoutManager
#Override
public void smoothScrollToPosition(RecyclerView recyclerView, RecyclerView.State state, int position) {
LinearSmoothScroller smoothScroller =
new LinearSmoothScroller(recyclerView.getContext()) {
//This returns the milliseconds it takes to
//scroll one pixel.
#Override
protected float calculateSpeedPerPixel
(DisplayMetrics displayMetrics) {
return 500f/displayMetrics.densityDpi;
}
#Override

}
#Override

smoothScroller.setTargetPosition(position);
startSmoothScroll(smoothScroller);

How to make Horizontal ListView

I want to make a Horizontal listview, but i don't want to use the library of third-party. So, i try to use PagerAdapter but i can do it.
I don't know how to fix it.
This is my code i use to load photo:
public class GalleryActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
public static final String TAG = "GalleryActivity";
public static final String EXTRA_NAME = "images";
ArrayList<Actor> actors = new ArrayList<>();
private GalleryPagerAdapter _adapter;
#InjectView(R.id.pager) ViewPager _pager;
#InjectView(R.id.thumbnails) LinearLayout _thumbnails;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_gallery);
ButterKnife.inject(this);
importActor();
_adapter = new GalleryPagerAdapter(this);
_pager.setAdapter(_adapter);
_pager.setOffscreenPageLimit(6);
}
public void importActor(){
Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(GalleryActivity.this.getResources(), R.drawable.nhaphuong);
Bitmap bitmap1 = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(GalleryActivity.this.getResources(),R.drawable.subo);
Bitmap bitmap2 = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(GalleryActivity.this.getResources(),R.drawable.truonggiang);
Actor actor = new Actor(5,"Nhã Phương",bitmap);
Actor actor1 = new Actor(15,"Trường Giang",bitmap2);
Actor actor2 = new Actor(999,"Subo",bitmap1);
actors.add(actor);
actors.add(actor1);
actors.add(actor2);
}
class GalleryPagerAdapter extends PagerAdapter {
Context _context;
LayoutInflater _inflater;
public GalleryPagerAdapter(Context context) {
_context = context;
_inflater = (LayoutInflater) _context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
}
#Override
public int getCount() {
return actors.size();
}
#Override
public boolean isViewFromObject(View view, Object object) {
return view == ((RelativeLayout) object);
}
#Override
public Object instantiateItem(ViewGroup container, final int position) {
View view = _inflater.inflate(R.layout.one_actor, container, false);
container.addView(view);
// Get the border size to show around each image
int borderSize = _thumbnails.getPaddingTop();
// Get the size of the actual thumbnail image
int thumbnailSize = ((FrameLayout.LayoutParams)
_pager.getLayoutParams()).bottomMargin - (borderSize*2);
// Set the thumbnail layout parameters. Adjust as required
LinearLayout.LayoutParams params = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(thumbnailSize, thumbnailSize);
params.setMargins(0, 0, borderSize, 0);
OneActor oneActor = new OneActor();
oneActor.avatar = (ImageView) view.findViewById(R.id.imgActor);
oneActor.name = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.tvActorName);
oneActor.cmtCount = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.tvCmtCount);
view.setTag(oneActor);
oneActor.avatar.setImageBitmap(actors.get(position).getAvatar());
oneActor.cmtCount.setText(actors.get(position).getCmtcout() + "");
oneActor.name.setText(actors.get(position).getName());
return view;
}
#Override
public void destroyItem(ViewGroup container, int position, Object object) {
container.removeView((LinearLayout) object);
}
class OneActor{
ImageView avatar;
TextView name, cmtCount;
}
}
This is my xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true">
<HorizontalScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="72dp"
android:layout_gravity="center">
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/thumbnails"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:paddingTop="2dp"/>
</HorizontalScrollView>
Tell my how to fix it or give me a tutoral please!

Use in xml as listview as like
<youpackage.HorizantalListView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"/>

Better to use RecyclerView. it worked as HorizontalListView also and it does not require any third party library.
for this you need to do something like this
LinearLayoutManager layoutManager
= new LinearLayoutManager(this, LinearLayoutManager.HORIZONTAL, false);
RecyclerView myList = (RecyclerView) findViewById(R.id.my_recycler_view);
myList.setLayoutManager(layoutManager);

Get center visible item of RecycleView when scrolling

This is what I want:
As image above, I want to draw a center line on RecycleView, then get the center item when scrolling (as well as move left or right)
Here is my try to draw a horizontal RecycleView:
HorizontalAdapter adapter = new HorizontalAdapter(data);
LinearLayoutManager layoutManager
= new LinearLayoutManager(this, LinearLayoutManager.HORIZONTAL, false);
recycleView.setLayoutManager(layoutManager);
recycleView.setAdapter(adapter);
Is there any way to know which item is moved to the center of RecycleView? And how can I scroll RecycleView to left or right just one position?
Update: I tried to use a scroll listener to get the middle position, but it doesn't work as an aspect.
#Override
public void onScrolled(RecyclerView recyclerView, int dx, int dy) {
super.onScrolled(recyclerView, dx, dy);
int firstPos = layoutManager.findFirstVisibleItemPosition();
int lastPos = layoutManager.findLastVisibleItemPosition();
int middle = Math.abs(lastPos - firstPos) / 2 + firstPos;
int selectedPos = -1;
for (int i = 0; i < adapter.getItemCount(); i++) {
if (i == middle) {
adapter.getItem(i).setSelected(true);
selectedPos = i;
} else {
adapter.getItem(i).setSelected(false);
}
}
adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
}
And get the result:
I only want to change the selected item (make text to white color) when it is on the blue Rect

I made something just like this. I can do exactly what you need.
First of all, this is how is my alogrithm work
This is my recyclerView Adapter
public class DateAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<DateAdapter.DateViewHolder> {
private ArrayList<LabelerDate> dateDataList;
private static final int VIEW_TYPE_PADDING = 1;
private static final int VIEW_TYPE_ITEM = 2;
private int paddingWidthDate = 0;
private int selectedItem = -1;
public DateAdapter(ArrayList<LabelerDate> dateData, int paddingWidthDate) {
this.dateDataList = dateData;
this.paddingWidthDate = paddingWidthDate;
}
#Override
public DateViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
if (viewType == VIEW_TYPE_ITEM) {
final View view = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.list_item_date,
parent, false);
return new DateViewHolder(view);
} else {
View view = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.list_item_padding,
parent, false);
RecyclerView.LayoutParams layoutParams = (RecyclerView.LayoutParams) view.getLayoutParams();
layoutParams.width = paddingWidthDate;
view.setLayoutParams(layoutParams);
return new DateViewHolder(view);
}
}
#Override
public void onBindViewHolder(DateViewHolder holder, int position) {
LabelerDate labelerDate = dateDataList.get(position);
if (getItemViewType(position) == VIEW_TYPE_ITEM) {
if(labelerDate.dateType.equals(BirthDayActivity.DateType.C31))
holder.tvDate.setText(String.valueOf(labelerDate.valueDate));
holder.tvDate.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
holder.imgSmall.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
if (position == selectedItem) {
holder.tvDate.setTextColor(Color.parseColor("#094673"));
holder.tvDate.setTextSize(35);
holder.imgSmall.setBackgroundResource(R.color.textviewbold);
} else {
holder.tvDate.setTextColor(Color.GRAY);
holder.tvDate.setTextSize(35);
holder.imgSmall.setBackgroundResource(R.color.gray);
}
}
}
public void setSelecteditem(int selecteditem) {
this.selectedItem = selecteditem;
notifyDataSetChanged();
}
#Override
public int getItemCount() {
return dateDataList.size();
}
#Override
public int getItemViewType(int position) {
LabelerDate labelerDate = dateDataList.get(position);
if (labelerDate.dateType.equals(BirthDayActivity.DateType.NONE)) {
return VIEW_TYPE_PADDING;
}
return VIEW_TYPE_ITEM;
}
public class DateViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
public TextView tvDate;
public ImageView imgSmall;
public DateViewHolder(View itemView) {
super(itemView);
tvDate = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.tvNumberDate);
imgSmall = (ImageView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.small_marked_dob);
}
}}
This is most important alogrithm:
public void getRecyclerviewDate() {
recyclerViewDate = (RecyclerView) findViewById(R.id.recyclerViewDay);
ViewTreeObserver vtoDate = recyclerViewDate.getViewTreeObserver();
vtoDate.addOnPreDrawListener(new ViewTreeObserver.OnPreDrawListener() {
#Override
public boolean onPreDraw() {
recyclerViewDate.getViewTreeObserver().removeOnPreDrawListener(this);
finalWidthDate = recyclerViewDate.getMeasuredWidth();
itemWidthDate = getResources().getDimension(R.dimen.item_dob_width);
paddingDate = (finalWidthDate - itemWidthDate) / 2;
firstItemWidthDate = paddingDate ;
allPixelsDate = 0;
final LinearLayoutManager dateLayoutManager = new LinearLayoutManager(getApplicationContext());
dateLayoutManager.setOrientation(LinearLayoutManager.HORIZONTAL);
recyclerViewDate.setLayoutManager(dateLayoutManager);
recyclerViewDate.addOnScrollListener(new RecyclerView.OnScrollListener() {
#Override
public void onScrollStateChanged(RecyclerView recyclerView, int newState) {
super.onScrollStateChanged(recyclerView, newState);
synchronized (this) {
if(newState == RecyclerView.SCROLL_STATE_IDLE){
calculatePositionAndScrollDate(recyclerView);
}
}
}
#Override
public void onScrolled(RecyclerView recyclerView, int dx, int dy) {
super.onScrolled(recyclerView, dx, dy);
allPixelsDate += dx;
}
});
if (labelerDates == null)
labelerDates = new ArrayList<>();
labelerDates.addAll(genLabelerDate(currentMonth, currentYear));
dateAdapter = new DateAdapter(labelerDates, (int) firstItemWidthDate);
recyclerViewDate.setAdapter(dateAdapter);
return true;
}
});
}
/* this if most important, if expectedPositionDate < 0 recyclerView will return to nearest item*/
private void calculatePositionAndScrollDate(RecyclerView recyclerView) {
int expectedPositionDate = Math.round((allPixelsDate + paddingDate - firstItemWidthDate) / itemWidthDate);
if (expectedPositionDate == -1) {
expectedPositionDate = 0;
} else if (expectedPositionDate >= recyclerView.getAdapter().getItemCount() - 2) {
expectedPositionDate--;
}
scrollListToPositionDate(recyclerView, expectedPositionDate);
}
/* this if most important, if expectedPositionDate < 0 recyclerView will return to nearest item*/
private void scrollListToPositionDate(RecyclerView recyclerView, int expectedPositionDate) {
float targetScrollPosDate = expectedPositionDate * itemWidthDate + firstItemWidthDate - paddingDate;
float missingPxDate = targetScrollPosDate - allPixelsDate;
if (missingPxDate != 0) {
recyclerView.smoothScrollBy((int) missingPxDate, 0);
}
}
private void setDateValue() {
int expectedPositionDateColor = Math.round((allPixelsDate + paddingDate - firstItemWidthDate) / itemWidthDate);
setColorDate = expectedPositionDateColor + 1;
//set color here
dateAdapter.setSelecteditem(setColorDate);
}
#Override
protected void onRestoreInstanceState(#NonNull Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onRestoreInstanceState(savedInstanceState);
allPixelsDate = savedInstanceState.getFloat(BUNDLE_LIST_PIXELS_DATE);
allPixelsDateChanged = savedInstanceState.getFloat(BUNDLE_LIST_PIXELS_DATE_CHANGED);
}
#Override
protected void onSaveInstanceState(#NonNull Bundle outState) {
super.onSaveInstanceState(outState);
outState.putFloat(BUNDLE_LIST_PIXELS_DATE, allPixelsDate);
outState.putFloat(BUNDLE_LIST_PIXELS_DATE_CHANGED, allPixelsDateChanged);
}
And this is my result:
Look at this video link, this is my app demo

Sometimes is needed the entire example code block together, because we may miss something. Here is what I have, feel free to correct anything since I may be doing some little mistake somewhere. And Yes, this answer is an extension of #tranhieu answer. Thanks #tranhieu.

Oh boy. I've been searching for this answer for almost a week and then found out the solution. Custom LayoutManagers? No. ItemDecorator? Nope.
Here's the easiest way to do it:
<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:paddingStart="150dp"
android:paddingEnd="150dp"
android:clipToPadding="false" />
The critical part is:
android:paddingStart="150dp"
android:paddingEnd="150dp"
android:clipToPadding="false"
And then just assign SnapHelper to your RecylcerView:
val snapHelper = LinearSnapHelper()
snapHelper.attachToRecyclerView(recyclerView)
This is it. The easiest and most perfect solution to the problem

I'm used the SnapHelper right here:
// init snaphelper
SnapHelper snapHelper = new LinearSnapHelper();
snapHelper.attachToRecyclerView(recyclerView)
// init layout manager
LinearLayoutManager layoutManager = new LinearLayoutManager(mainActivity);
layoutManager.setOrientation(LinearLayoutManager.HORIZONTAL);
recyclerView.setLayoutManager(layoutManager);
// init adapter
adatper.setSnapHelper(snapHelper);
adatper.setLayoutManager(layoutManager);
adatper.initAdapter(new Float((DisplayHelper.getDisplayWidth(mainActivity) / 2) - (fooViewWidth / 2)).intValue());
recyclerView.setAdapter(adatper);
As said by TranHieu the solution of inserting 2 item for padding (at start and at end positions) is good.
I don't like the use of ViewTreeObserver because of poor readability of code. With this technique then you must also manage redrawing of the items if they are recycled.
If you are using customview classes you can set its width directly into these classes.
For example this is my padding class
/**
* Created by firegloves on 25/09/15.
*/
#EViewGroup(R.layout.view_padding)
public class PaddingView extends FooView {
Context mCtx;
public PaddingView(Context context) {
super(context);
mCtx = context;
}
public void setWidth(int width) {
setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(width, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
}
}
In my adapter I store the desired padding item width, that is equal to (displayWidth / 2) - (realItemWidth / 2)
This is my adapter, don't look at methods not matching RecyclerView.Adapter, pay attention to the initAdapter method and to the onCreateItemView method
#EBean
public class FooAdapterRecycler extends RecyclerViewAdapterBase<Foo, FooView> {
private final int TYPE_PADDING_VIEW = 0;
private final int TYPE_REAL_VIEW = 1;
#RootContext
Context ctx;
#Bean(Finder.class)
IFinder finder;
SnapHelper snapHelper;
RecyclerView.LayoutManager layoutManager;
private int paddingWidth = 0;
/**
* preleva i dati dal finder
*/
public void initAdapter(int paddingWidth) {
/*******************************
* THIS CODE IS THE IMPORTANT ONE
******************************/
this.paddingWidth = paddingWidth;
// add 1 item for initial space
mItems = new ArrayList<>();
Foo foo = new Foo();
mItems.add(foo);
// get real items from finder
mItems.addAll(finder.findAll());
// add 1 item for final space
mItems = new ArrayList<>();
Foo foo2 = new Foo();
mItems.add(foo2);
}
#Override
public int getItemViewType(int position) {
if (position == 0 || position == getItemCount()-1) {
return TYPE_PADDING_VIEW;
} else {
return TYPE_REAL_VIEW;
}
}
#Override
protected FooView onCreateItemView(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
/*******************************
* THIS CODE IS THE IMPORTANT ONE
******************************/
if (viewType == TYPE_PADDING_VIEW) {
PaddingView view = PaddingView_.build(ctx);
view.setWidth(paddingWidth);
return view;
} else {
return FooView_.build(ctx);
}
}
public void setSnapHelper(SnapHelper snapHelper) {
this.snapHelper = snapHelper;
}
public void setLayoutManager(RecyclerView.LayoutManager layoutManager) {
this.layoutManager = layoutManager;
}
}
I'm using AndroidAnnotations library but it's not required
Hope that helps

USING SNAPHELPER - A SMOOTHER SOLUTION
Here it is another solution using SnapHelper. Starting from the answer of #TranHieu here:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/34647005/3944251
and the compressed by #sector11 here:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/38411582/3944251
I wrote the following code which is also based in both answers above, but it's simpler and offers a smoother solution using SnapHelper presented in android support library 24.2.0.
Here you have the MainActivity class. The rest is the same with #sector11's answer.

You can use a LinearSnapHelper
Attach to your recyclerView like
val snapHelper = LinearSnapHelper()
snapHelper.attachToRecyclerView(this)
Then, to get the center view, use
snapHelper.findSnapView(horizontalScrollView.layoutManager)?

As mentioned in the other answer, there is no direct way to do this.
This is probably how you can achieve what you described in the question.
Know the number of items visible on the screen.
Select the middle item programmatically every time the view is scrolled.
Keep a partially transparent image as an overlay on the middle item on the recyclerview. (You'll need to compute the coordinates based on the width of the recycler view or width of the screen and the width of the overlay image you choose to put.
Refresh the selected value in a text view below the recycler view every time there is a scroll.
The image overlays have to be placed in a way they appear connected and as one single control.

For this feature use EcoGallery library:
https://github.com/falnatsheh/EcoGallery

At first, I needed something similar, not this. But I was able to adapt #TranHieu solution to my needs, so I voted up his solution.
I wanted to create full-screen horizontal recyclerview that after user sroll updates scrollPosition to mostVisibleItem.
setup:
private void setUpScrolling() {
mRecyclerVIew.getViewTreeObserver().addOnPreDrawListener(new ViewTreeObserver.OnPreDrawListener() {
#Override
public boolean onPreDraw() {
mRecyclerVIew.getViewTreeObserver().removeOnPreDrawListener(this);
CustomScrollListener listener = (CustomScrollListener) mScrollListener;
listener.width = mRecyclerVIew.getMeasuredWidth();
listener.dx = 0;
return true;
}
});
}
listener:
private class CustomScrollListener extends OnScrollListener {
private int mLastDx = 0;
int width = 0;
int dx = 0;
#Override
public void onScrollStateChanged(RecyclerView recyclerView, int newState) {
if (newState == RecyclerView.SCROLL_STATE_IDLE) {
if (mLastDx != dx) {
scrollToMostVisibleItem();
} else {
dx = 0;
mLastDx = 0;
}
}
super.onScrollStateChanged(recyclerView, newState);
}
#Override
public void onScrolled(RecyclerView recyclerView, int dx, int dy) {
super.onScrolled(recyclerView, dx, dy);
this.dx += dx;
}
private void scrollToMostVisibleItem() {
int direction = (dx > 0) ? 1 : -1;
dx = Math.abs(dx);
int shiftCount = Math.round(dx / width);
int pixelShift = dx % width;
if (pixelShift > width / 2) {
shiftCount++;
}
float targetScrollPixels = shiftCount * width;
float finalScrollPixels = (targetScrollPixels - dx) * direction;
if (finalScrollPixels != 0) {
mRecyclerVIew.smoothScrollBy((int) finalScrollPixels, 0);
mLastDx = (int) finalScrollPixels;
dx = 0;
}
}
}

I used another approach in my case.
you can find the deatils here: RecyclerView - How highlight central visible item during scroll1
In my opinion, my solution is more easy than the others.

If someone is looking for a more generic implementation, here is my code based on the answers of this thread:
Add the CenterLinearSnapHelper
public class CenterLinearSnapHelper extends LinearSnapHelper {
//Constants
public static final String TAG = CenterLinearSnapHelper.class.getSimpleName();
//Attributes
private Context context;
private float itemWidth;
private OnPaddingComputationListener listener;
//Constructors
/**
* A linear snap helper which helps centering the items in a recyclerview.
*
* #param itemWidth The (fixed) width of a child view in pixels.
*/
public CenterLinearSnapHelper(float itemWidth) {
this.itemWidth = itemWidth;
}
public void attachToRecyclerView(#Nullable RecyclerView recyclerView,
#NonNull OnPaddingComputationListener listener) throws IllegalStateException {
this.listener = listener;
//Calculates the padding for the first and end item
calculatePadding(recyclerView);
//Create a LinearSnapHelper and attach the recyclerView to it.
attachToRecyclerView(recyclerView);
}
public float getItemWidth() {
return itemWidth;
}
private void calculatePadding(RecyclerView recyclerView) {
if (recyclerView == null)
return;
ViewTreeObserver observer = recyclerView.getViewTreeObserver();
observer.addOnPreDrawListener(new ViewTreeObserver.OnPreDrawListener() {
#Override
public boolean onPreDraw() {
recyclerView.getViewTreeObserver().removeOnPreDrawListener(this);
int finalWidth = recyclerView.getMeasuredWidth();
float padding = (finalWidth - itemWidth) / 2;
listener.onPadding(padding, finalWidth);
return true;
}
});
}
public interface OnPaddingComputationListener {
void onPadding(float padding, int finalWidth);
}
}
In your Activity/Fragment where you create your RecyclerView:
float itemWidth = getResources().getDimension(R.dimen.favorite_room_width);
CenterLinearSnapHelper snapHelper = new CenterLinearSnapHelper(itemWidth);
snapHelper.attachToRecyclerView(binding.listFavorites, (padding, finalWidth) -> {
//Set the adapter
roomAdapter = new RoomAdapter(requireContext(), rooms);
roomAdapter.addPaddingItems((int) padding);
roomAdapter.setOnToggleClickListener(FavoritesFragment.this);
binding.listFavorites.setAdapter(roomAdapter);
});
In your adapter:
public void addPaddingItems(int padding) {
if (padding < 0)
throw new IllegalStateException("Padding cannot be smaller than 0");
this.padding = padding;
//Add 2 new items as the first and last
//NOTE: If you update your existing dataset (e.g add new items), you should redo the calculation!
rooms.add(0, new Room("First"));
rooms.add(rooms.size(), new Room("Last"));
}
#Override
public int getItemViewType(int position) {
if (padding >= 0 && (position == 0 || position == rooms.size() - 1)) {
return VIEW_TYPE_PADDING;
}
return VIEW_TYPE_ITEM;
}
#NonNull
#Override
public RoomViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(#NonNull ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
ViewFavoriteRoomBinding binding = DataBindingUtil.inflate(inflater, R.layout.view_favorite_room, parent, false);
if (viewType == VIEW_TYPE_PADDING) {
RecyclerView.LayoutParams layoutParams = (RecyclerView.LayoutParams) binding.getRoot().getLayoutParams();
layoutParams.width = padding;
binding.getRoot().setLayoutParams(layoutParams);
}
RoomViewHolder viewHolder = new RoomViewHolder(context, binding, onToggleClickListener);
viewHolder.getRecyclerView().setRecycledViewPool(viewPool);
return viewHolder;
}

How to implement pagination in RecyclerView on scroll

Recyclerview comes with its own scroll listener which has the following methods :
void onScrollStateChanged(RecyclerView recyclerView, int newState)
Callback method to be invoked when RecyclerView's scroll state changes.
void onScrolled(RecyclerView recyclerView, int dx, int dy)
Callback method to be invoked when the RecyclerView has been scrolled.
Is there any way to trigger loader to load more data when scroll reaches end of the list?
I have implemented this way:
#Override
public void onBindViewHolder(ViewHolder viewHolder, int i) {
GenerItem generItem=generItems.get(i);
Log.d("TAG","position "+i);
if(i==generItems.size()-1)
((GenerSearchActivity)mContext).onScroll(i);
viewHolder.bindValues(generItem);
}
Here onScroll() in Activity, will trigger the loader to load more data. What is the best way please suggest.

Make Next Call at the end of scroll
There are essentially 3 steps.
Notify when the list is scrolled
Make REST call (for NEXT page)
Add the result in the old list + Notify DataSet change
CALLBACK
But first, we need a Callback which would work as a bridge between RecyclerView.Adapter and Activity
public interface PaginationCallBack{
public void oadNextPage();
}
Implement this callback in Your Activity
class YourActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements PaginationCallBack{
int pageNum = 1;
#Override
public void loadNextPage(){
// Your implementation
}
}
Initialize Callback in RecyclerView.Adapter
class YourAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter{
private PaginationCallBack paginationCallBack;
public YourAdapter(PaginationCallBack paginationCallBack) {
this.paginationCallBack = paginationCallBack;
}
}
STEP 1
Add a condition in onBindViewHolder method and notify with a Callback.
#Override
public void onBindViewHolder(#NonNull RecyclerView.ViewHolder viewholder, int position) {
if(position+1==images.size()){
paginationCallBack.loadNextPage(); // Callback
}
}
Step 2: Call NEXT Page
getImages(++pageNum) // YOUR REST method which page number
#Override
public void loadNextPage(){
getImages(++pageNumber) // REST call with next Page
}
Step 3 Add the result in old list and notify datasetChanged
public void getImages(int pageNum){
List<Images> newResults = //RESTCALL
imageList.addAll(newResults);
adapter.updateDataSet(imageList)
}
Where is updateDataSet(imageList) method?
Write this method inside RecyclerView.Adapter
public void updateDataSet(List<GalleryMedia> newImages){
if(newImages!=null){
images = newImages;
}
notifyDataSetChanged();
}

RecyclerView Pagination
Result:

Here's a scroll listener which implements load more and quick return pattern:
public abstract class HidingScrollListener extends RecyclerView.OnScrollListener {
private static final float HIDE_THRESHOLD = 10;
private static final float SHOW_THRESHOLD = 70;
private int mToolbarOffset = 0;
private boolean mControlsVisible = true;

private int previousTotal = 0;
private boolean loading = true;
private int visibleThreshold = 4;
int firstVisibleItem, visibleItemCount, totalItemCount;
private LinearLayoutManager layoutManager;
public HidingScrollListener(Context context, LinearLayoutManager layoutManager) {
mToolbarHeight = Tools.getFooterHeight(context);
this.layoutManager = layoutManager;
}
#Override
public void onScrollStateChanged(RecyclerView recyclerView, int newState) {
super.onScrollStateChanged(recyclerView, newState);
if (newState == RecyclerView.SCROLL_STATE_IDLE) {
if (mTotalScrolledDistance < mToolbarHeight) {
setVisible();
}
else {
if (mControlsVisible) {
if (mToolbarOffset > HIDE_THRESHOLD) {
setInvisible();
}
else {
setVisible();
}
}
else {
if ((mToolbarHeight - mToolbarOffset) > SHOW_THRESHOLD) {
setVisible();
}
else {
setInvisible();
}
}
}
}
}
#Override
public void onScrolled(RecyclerView recyclerView, int dx, int dy) {
super.onScrolled(recyclerView, dx, dy);
clipToolbarOffset();
onMoved(mToolbarOffset);
if ((mToolbarOffset < mToolbarHeight && dy > 0) || (mToolbarOffset > 0 && dy < 0)) {
mToolbarOffset += dy;
}
if (mTotalScrolledDistance < 0) {
mTotalScrolledDistance = 0;
}
else {
mTotalScrolledDistance += dy;
}
// for load more
visibleItemCount = recyclerView.getChildCount();
totalItemCount = layoutManager.getItemCount();
firstVisibleItem = layoutManager.findFirstVisibleItemPosition();
if (loading) {
if (totalItemCount > previousTotal) {
loading = false;
previousTotal = totalItemCount;
}
}
if (!loading && (totalItemCount - visibleItemCount) <= (firstVisibleItem + visibleThreshold)) {
// End has been reached
// Do something
loading = true;
onLoadMore();
}
}
private void clipToolbarOffset() {
if (mToolbarOffset > mToolbarHeight) {
mToolbarOffset = mToolbarHeight;
}
else if (mToolbarOffset < 0) {
mToolbarOffset = 0;
}
}
private void setVisible() {
if (mToolbarOffset > 0) {
onShow();
mToolbarOffset = 0;
}
mControlsVisible = true;
}
private void setInvisible() {
if (mToolbarOffset < mToolbarHeight) {
onHide();
mToolbarOffset = mToolbarHeight;
}
mControlsVisible = false;
}
public abstract void onMoved(int distance);
public abstract void onShow();
public abstract void onHide();
public abstract void onLoadMore();
}
And it's implementation is below:
HidingScrollListener scrollListener = new HidingScrollListener(activity, manager) {
#Override
public void onMoved(int distance) {
}
#Override
public void onShow() {
}
#Override
public void onHide() {
}
#Override
public void onLoadMore() {
// you can do your pagination here.
}
};
mRecyclerView.addOnScrollListener(scrollListener);

get recycler item absolute coordinates

I am trying to make the items in a recyclerview to move when scrolling up or down in a matter which depends on the the Y coordinate of the child views. However I can't seem to be able to get the coordinate of the children.
How can I get the Y coordinate?
I need it in the onBindViewHolder method so that I can set the layout param of the child view according to it.

in your Activity/Fragment :
RecyclerView yourRecyclerView;
FansAdapter yourRecyclerAdapter;
........
#Override

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
yourRecyclerView = (RecyclerView) findViewById(R.id.recycler_view);
yourRecyclerView.setLayoutManager(new LinearLayoutManager(this));
yourRecyclerView.setHasFixedSize(true);
yourRecyclerAdapter = new YourAdapter (populateYourList(), this);
yourRecyclerView.setAdapter(yourRecyclerAdapter);
yourRecyclerView.addOnScrollListener(new RecyclerView.OnScrollListener() {
#Override
public void onScrolled(RecyclerView recyclerView, int dx, int dy) {
super.onScrolled(recyclerView, dx, dy);
View firstVisibleChild = recyclerView.getChildAt(0);//change if necessary. determine that item(items) you need to find
