scrollToPositionWithOffset from LinearLayoutManager on RecyclerView not working - android

I'm trying to make an horizontal list of sticky images with RecyclerView and I'd like to move them by pixels' offset with scrollToPositionWithOffset. I thought passing 0 as position and the pixels I want to move to right / left as offset.
But it doesn't work, the list remains untouched, unscrolled, it doesn't move. This is my implementation:
final LargeImageAdapter mLargeImageAdapter = new LargeImageAdapter(this);
linearLayoutManager = new LinearLayoutManager(this, LinearLayoutManager.HORIZONTAL, false);
recyclerView.setLayoutManager(linearLayoutManager);
recyclerView.setAdapter(mLargeImageAdapter);
seekBar = (SeekBar)findViewById(R.id.seekBar);
seekBar.setMax(7000);
seekBar.setOnSeekBarChangeListener(new SeekBar.OnSeekBarChangeListener() {
#Override
public void onProgressChanged(SeekBar seekBar, int progress, boolean fromUser) {
int scrollToDX = progress;
((LinearLayoutManager)recyclerView.getLayoutManager()).scrollToPositionWithOffset(0, scrollToDX);
// tried invoking also linearLayoutManager instead getLayoutManager.
}
#Override
public void onStartTrackingTouch(SeekBar seekBar) {
}
#Override
public void onStopTrackingTouch(SeekBar seekBar) {
}
});
what am I doing wrong?
Thank you very much.
Regards.
Rafael.

I finally used:
recyclerView.scrollBy(int offsetX, int offsetY); setting offsetY = 0 and it works now.
I don't understand what's the utility of the function scrollToPositionWithOffset.

I had a similar issue. My problem was that my recyclerview wasn't of the same size of its parent layout. I solved it by setting the recycler view width and height to match_parent. I don't know why this happens in this case.

A late answer to your first question, and an addition to your answer:
Your method works better for your personal needs, because scrollToPositionWithOffset is not intended to do what you want.
As the doc says here:
[...]Resolved layout start depends on [...]
getLayoutDirection(android.view.View) [...]
Which means it would offset the scroll target position in the layout direction, vertically in your case.
I don't understand what's the utility of the function
scrollToPositionWithOffset.
it allows to not only scroll to a given item in the list, but also position it at a more "visible" or otherwise convenient place.

recently I encountered this problem too, I invoke scrollToPositionWithOffset when onScrolled() directly, but nothing change, with that I turn to scrollToPosition() even scrollBy() but not help, finally I attempt to delay that so it work, first time I delay 50ms, but two weeks later I found that's not enough, so I increase to 100ms with no approachs in my hands, of course it work, just feel a little unsettled.
val layoutManager = LinearLayoutManager(hostActivity, VERTICAL, false)
fileRv.layoutManager = layoutManager
fileRv.addOnScrollListener(object : RecyclerView.OnScrollListener() {
override fun onScrolled(recyclerView: RecyclerView, dx: Int, dy: Int) {
if (dx == 0 && dy == 0) {
scrollToLastPosition()
}
}
private fun scrollToLastPosition() {
val lastScrollPosition = viewModel.consumeLastScrollPosition()
if (lastScrollPosition > 0) {
Handler().postDelayed({ layoutManager.scrollToPositionWithOffset(lastScrollPosition, 0) }, 100)
}
}
})
override fun onItemClick(position: Int) {
layoutManager.findFirstVisibleItemPosition().let {
if (it >= 0) viewModel.markLastScrollPosition(it)
}
}
fun markLastScrollPosition(position: Int) {
currentFolderListData.value?.lastOrNull()?.lastScrollPosition = position
}
fun consumeLastScrollPosition(): Int {
currentFolderListData.value?.lastOrNull()?.run {
return lastScrollPosition.apply { lastScrollPosition = -1 }
}
return 0
}

I find a solution.
Coz I am the developer of DNA Launcher. When I use RecyclerView to display A-Z App List, I found that the function scrollToPositionWithOffset is not working. I track the problem for almost one day and I figured it out.
When the RecyclerView display again, just let the parent of RecyclerView do requestLayout.
It works for me.
And I know how to make the function scrollToPositionWithOffset not working. You just need to add a view on it and make it gone then.

How to Stop Motion Layout animation when data is fit to screen

I used Motion Layout for Collapse Layout. Motion layout working perfect as I need but I want to set motion layout animation based on data fit too the screen.
Like if data fit in screen then no need to animation. If data out of the screen then show animation.
Finally I got solution:
motionLogin?.enableTransition(R.id.transitionLogin, false)
constraintLayout.viewTreeObserver.addOnGlobalLayoutListener(object :
ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener {
override fun onGlobalLayout() {
// If the scrollView can scroll, disable the accept menu item button
if (constraintLayout.canScrollVertically(1) || constraintLayout.canScrollVertically(
-1
)
) {
motionLogin?.enableTransition(R.id.transitionLogin, true)
}
// Remove itself after onGlobalLayout is first called or else it would be called about a million times per second
constraintLayout.viewTreeObserver.removeOnGlobalLayoutListener(this)
}
})
For Java version:
public static void enableDisableTransition(MotionLayout motionLayout, RecyclerView recyclerView){
motionLayout.enableTransition(R.id.transition, false);
recyclerView.getViewTreeObserver().addOnGlobalLayoutListener(new ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener() {
#Override
public void onGlobalLayout() {
if (recyclerView.canScrollVertically(1) || recyclerView.canScrollVertically(-1 )
) {
motionLayout.enableTransition(R.id.transition, true);
}
recyclerView.getViewTreeObserver().removeOnGlobalLayoutListener(this);
}
});
}

Android RecyclerView with gridlayout smoothScrollTo() speed

I have a recyclerview with gridlayoutmanager.
If I run the code
recycler.smoothScrollTo(adapter.getItemCount())
the recycler scrolls really fast to the last element. I tried some solutions on Stackoverflow to make the scrolling slower, but all apply to Linearlayoutmanager not Gridlayoutmanager.
Any help?
I cannot say for sure what your problem is. But I am lucky enough to have a very simple GridLayoutManager recyclerview demo out there, very small sample project. I created a so branch and added a button that does the same you do.
Look it up: https://github.com/Gryzor/GridToShowAds/compare/so?expand=1
.setOnClickListener { mainRecyclerView.smoothScrollToPosition(data.size) }
And that alone just works.
Check the source code, it's a very simple sample for something unrelated, but happens to have a RV with a Grid Layout :)
UPDATE
What you actual want is to control the Speed at which the recyclerView scrolls. Ok.
It's not the RecyclerView that drives the scroll, it's actually the LayoutManager that does. How so?
If you look at RV's source code...
public void smoothScrollToPosition(int position) {
...
mLayout.smoothScrollToPosition(this, mState, position);
}
So it ends up calling mLayout. What is this?
#VisibleForTesting LayoutManager mLayout;
So, your LayoutManager#smoothScroll... method is used.
Decompiling now GridLayoutManager for science:
#Override
public void smoothScrollToPosition(RecyclerView recyclerView, RecyclerView.State state,
int position) {
LinearSmoothScroller linearSmoothScroller =
new LinearSmoothScroller(recyclerView.getContext());
linearSmoothScroller.setTargetPosition(position);
startSmoothScroll(linearSmoothScroller);
}
note: this method is actually in LinearLayoutManager because GridLayoutManager is a subclass and it doesn't override the method
A LinearSmoothScroller!; no parameter to specify the speed though...
Look at it:
public class LinearSmoothScroller extends RecyclerView.SmoothScroller {
private static final boolean DEBUG = false;
private static final float MILLISECONDS_PER_INCH = 25f;
private static final int TARGET_SEEK_SCROLL_DISTANCE_PX = 10000;
...
}
This class has a start() method described as:
* Starts a smooth scroll for the given target position.
So who calls this?
The mLayout.smoothScrollToPosition method does at the end in the startSmoothScroll(...) call.
public void startSmoothScroll(SmoothScroller smoothScroller) {
Starts a smooth scroll using the provided {#link SmoothScroller}.
mSmoothScroller.start(mRecyclerView, this);
So... in lieu of all this, the answer to your question is:
You need to create your extension of GridLayoutManager by subclassing it, and in it, override the smoothScrollToPosition method, to provide your own Scroller logic.
Thread carefully though, LayoutManagers are not the "simplest" classes of all time and they can be quite complicated to master.
Good luck! :)
My simple working solution currently is still implementing a timer then working with it.
final CountDownTimer scrollUp_timer = new CountDownTimer(50000, 30) {
#Override
public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {
if (layoutManager != null && layoutManager.findFirstVisibleItemPosition() != 0) searchRecyclerView.smoothScrollToPosition(layoutManager.findFirstVisibleItemPosition()-1);
}
#Override
public void onFinish() {
try{
}catch(Exception e){
// log
}
}
};
scrollUp.setOnDragListener(new View.OnDragListener() {
#Override
public boolean onDrag(View view, DragEvent dragEvent) {
layoutManager = ((GridLayoutManager)searchRecyclerView.getLayoutManager());
int action = dragEvent.getAction();
if (action == DragEvent.ACTION_DRAG_ENTERED) {
scrollUp_timer.start();
} else if (action == DragEvent.ACTION_DRAG_EXITED) {
searchRecyclerView.scrollBy(0,0);
scrollUp_timer.cancel();
}
return true;
}
});
You can extend:
class CSCustomRecyclerSmoothScroller(context: Context, speed: Float = 0.2f)
: LinearSmoothScroller(context) {
override fun calculateSpeedPerPixel(displayMetrics: DisplayMetrics): Float = speed
}
And use it like:
val shortAnimationDuration =
view.resources.getInteger(android.R.integer.config_shortAnimTime)
val scroller = CSCustomRecyclerSmoothScroller(this, speed = 0.15)
scroller.targetPosition = position
view.postDelayed({
layoutManager.startSmoothScroll(scroller)
}, shortAnimationDuration.toLong())
postDelayed can be necessary in some cases but maybe not in all.
I use similar code with GridLayoutManager I just tried to extract relevant parts from my way of writing things.

RecyclerView - Scroll To Position Not Working Every Time

I have implemented a horizontal scrollable RecyclerView. My RecyclerView uses a LinearLayoutManager, and the problem I am facing is that when I try to use scrollToPosition(position) or smoothScrollToPosition(position) or from LinearLayoutManager's scrollToPositionWithOffset(position). Neither works for me. Either a scroll call doesn't scroll to the desired location or it doesn't invoke the OnScrollListener.
So far I have tried so many different combinations of code that I cannot post them all here. Following is the one that works for me (But only partially):
public void smoothUserScrollTo(final int position) {
if (position < 0 || position > getAdapter().getItemCount()) {
Log.e(TAG, "An attempt to scroll out of adapter size has been stopped.");
return;
}
if (getLayoutManager() == null) {
Log.e(TAG, "Cannot scroll to position a LayoutManager is not set. " +
"Call setLayoutManager with a non-null layout.");
return;
}
if (getChildAdapterPosition(getCenterView()) == position) {
return;
}
stopScroll();
scrollToPosition(position);
if (lastScrollPosition == position) {
addOnLayoutChangeListener(new OnLayoutChangeListener() {
#Override
public void onLayoutChange(View v, int left, int top, int right, int bottom, int oldLeft, int oldTop, int oldRight, int oldBottom) {
if (left == oldLeft && right == oldRight && top == oldTop && bottom == oldBottom) {
removeOnLayoutChangeListener(this);
updateViews();
// removing the following line causes a position - 3 effect.
scrollToView(getChildAt(0));
}
}
});
}
lastScrollPosition = position;
}
#Override
public void scrollToPosition(int position) {
if (position < 0 || position > getAdapter().getItemCount()) {
Log.e(TAG, "An attempt to scroll out of adapter size has been stopped.");
return;
}
if (getLayoutManager() == null) {
Log.e(TAG, "Cannot scroll to position a LayoutManager is not set. " +
"Call setLayoutManager with a non-null layout.");
return;
}
// stopScroll();
((LinearLayoutManager) getLayoutManager()).scrollToPositionWithOffset(position, 0);
// getLayoutManager().scrollToPosition(position);
}
I opted for scrollToPositionWithOffset() because of this but the case perhaps is different as I use a LinearLayoutManager instead of GridLayoutManager. But the solution does work for me too, but as I said earlier only partially.
When the call to scroll is from 0th position to totalSize - 7 scroll works like a charm.
When scroll is from totalSize - 7 to totalSize - 3, First time I only scroll to 7th last item in the list. The second time however I can scroll fine
When scrolling from totalSize - 3 to totalSize, I start getting unexpected behavior.
If anyone has found a work around I'd Appreciate it. Here's the gist to my code of custom ReyclerView.
I had the same issue some weeks ago, and found only a really bad solution to solve it. Had to use a postDelayed with 200-300ms.
new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
yourList.scrollToPosition(position);
}
}, 200);
If you found a better solution, please let me know! Good luck!
Turns out I was having a similar issue until I utilized
myRecyclerview.scrollToPosition(objectlist.size()-1)
It would always stay at the top when only putting in the objectlist size. This was until i decided to set the size equal to a variable. Again, that didn't work. Then I assumed that perhaps it was handling an outofboundsexception without telling me. So I subtracted it by 1. Then it worked.
The accepted answer will work, but it may also break. The main reason for this issue is that the recycler view may not be ready by the time you ask it to scroll. The best solution for the same is to wait for the recycler view to be ready and then scroll. Luckily android has provided one such option. Below solution is for Kotlin, you can try the java alternative for the same, it will work.
newsRecyclerView.post {
layoutManager?.scrollToPosition(viewModel.selectedItemPosition)
}
The post runnable method is available for every View elements and will execute once the view is ready, hence ensuring the code is executed exactly when required.
You can use LinearSmoothScroller this worked every time in my case:
First create an instance of LinearSmoothScroller:
LinearSmoothScroller smoothScroller=new LinearSmoothScroller(activity){
#Override
protected int getVerticalSnapPreference() {
return LinearSmoothScroller.SNAP_TO_START;
}
};
And then when you want to scroll recycler view to any position do this:
smoothScroller.setTargetPosition(pos); // pos on which item you want to scroll recycler view
recyclerView.getLayoutManager().startSmoothScroll(smoothScroller);
Done.
So the problem for me was that I had a RecyclerView in a NestedScrollView. Took me some time to figure out this was the problem. The solution for this is (Kotlin):
val childY = recycler_view.y + recycler_view.getChildAt(position).y
nested_scrollview.smoothScrollTo(0, childY.toInt())
Java (credits to Himagi https://stackoverflow.com/a/50367883/2917564)
float y = recyclerView.getY() + recyclerView.getChildAt(selectedPosition).getY();
scrollView.smoothScrollTo(0, (int) y);
The trick is to scroll the nested scrollview to the Y instead of the RecyclerView. This works decently at Android 5.0 Samsung J5 and Huawei P30 pro with Android 9.
I also faced a similar problem (having to scroll to the top when the list is getting updated), but none of the above options worked 100%
However I finally found a working solution at https://dev.to/aldok/how-to-scroll-recyclerview-to-a-certain-position-5ck4 archive link
Summary
scrollToPosition only seems to work when the underlying dataset is ready.
So therefore postDelay works (randomly) but it's depending on the speed of the device/app. If the timeout is too short it fails. smoothScrollToPosition also only works if the adapter is not too busy (see https://stackoverflow.com/a/61403576/11649486)
To observe when the dataset is ready, a AdapterDataObserver can be added and certain methods overridden.
The code that fixed my problem:
adapter.registerAdapterDataObserver( object : RecyclerView.AdapterDataObserver() {
override fun onItemRangeInserted(
positionStart: Int,
itemCount: Int
) {
// This will scroll to the top when new data was inserted
recyclerView.scrollToPosition(0)
}
}
None of the methods seems to be working for me. Only the below single line of code worked
((LinearLayoutManager)mRecyclerView.getLayoutManager()).scrollToPositionWithOffset(adapter.currentPosition(),200);
The second parameter refers to offset, which is actually the distance (in pixels) between the start edge of the item view and start edge of the RecyclerView. I have supplied it with a constant value to make the top items also visible.
Check for more reference over here
Using Kotlin Coroutines in Fragment or Activity, and also using the lifecycleScope since any coroutine launched in this scope is canceled when the Lifecycle is destroyed.
lifecycleScope.launch {
delay(100)
recyclerView.scrollToPosition(0)
This worked for me
Handler().postDelayed({
(recyclerView.getLayoutManager() as LinearLayoutManager).scrollToPositionWithOffset( 0, 0)
}, 100)
I had the same issue while creating a cyclic/circular adapter, where I could only scroll downward but not upward considering the position initialises to 0. I first considered using Robert's approach, but it was too unreliable as the Handler only fired once, and if I was unlucky the position wouldn't get initialised in some cases.
To resolve this, I create an interval Observable that checks every XXX amount of time to see whether the initialisation succeeded and afterward disposes of it. This approach worked very reliably for my use case.
private fun initialisePositionToAllowBidirectionalScrolling(layoutManager: LinearLayoutManager, realItemCount: Int) {
val compositeDisposable = CompositeDisposable() // Added here for clarity, make this into a private global variable and clear in onDetach()/onPause() in case auto-disposal wouldn't ever occur here
val initPosition = realItemCount * 1000
Observable.interval(INIT_DELAY_MS, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS)
.observeOn(AndroidSchedulers.mainThread())
.subscribe ({
if (layoutManager.findFirstVisibleItemPosition() == 0) {
layoutManager.scrollToPositionWithOffset(initPosition, 0)
if (layoutManager.findFirstCompletelyVisibleItemPosition() == initPosition) {
Timber.d("Adapter initialised, setting position to $initPosition and disposing interval subscription!")
compositeDisposable.clear()
}
}
}, {
Timber.e("Failed to initialise position!\n$it")
compositeDisposable.clear()
}).let { compositeDisposable.add(it) }
}
This worked perfectly for when scrolling to last item in the recycler
Handler handler = new Handler();
handler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
if (((LinearLayoutManager) recyclerView.getLayoutManager())
.findLastVisibleItemPosition() != adapter.getItemCount() - 1) {
recyclerView.scrollToPosition(adapter.getItemCount() - 1);
handler.postDelayed(this, 200);
}
}
}, 200 /* change it if you want*/);
Pretty weird bug, anyway I managed to work around it without post or post delayed as follow:
list.scrollToPosition(position - 1)
list.smoothScrollBy(1, 0)
Hopefully, it helps someone too.
Had the same issue. My problem was, that I refilled the view with data in an async task, after I tried to scroll. From onPostExecute ofc fixed this problem. A Delay fixed this issue too, because when the scroll executed, the list had already been refilled.
I use below solution to make the selected item in recycler view visible after the recycler view is reloaded (orientation change, etc). It overrides LinearLayoutManager and uses onSaveInstanceState to save current recycler position. Then in onRestoreInstanceState the saved position is restored. Finaly, in onLayoutCompleted, scrollToPosition(mRecyclerPosition) is used to make the previously selected recycler position visible again, but as Robert Banyai stated, for it to work reliably a certain delay must be inserted. I guess it is needed to provide enough time for adapter to load the data before scrollToPosition is called.
private class MyLayoutManager extends LinearLayoutManager{
private boolean isRestored;
public MyLayoutManager(Context context) {
super(context);
}
public MyLayoutManager(Context context, int orientation, boolean reverseLayout) {
super(context, orientation, reverseLayout);
}
public MyLayoutManager(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr, int defStyleRes) {
super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr, defStyleRes);
}
#Override
public void onLayoutCompleted(RecyclerView.State state) {
super.onLayoutCompleted(state);
if(isRestored && mRecyclerPosition >-1) {
Handler handler=new Handler();
handler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
MyLayoutManager.this.scrollToPosition(mRecyclerPosition);
}
},200);
}
isRestored=false;
}
#Override
public Parcelable onSaveInstanceState() {
Parcelable savedInstanceState = super.onSaveInstanceState();
Bundle bundle=new Bundle();
bundle.putParcelable("saved_state",savedInstanceState);
bundle.putInt("position", mRecyclerPosition);
return bundle;
}
#Override
public void onRestoreInstanceState(Parcelable state) {
Parcelable savedState = ((Bundle)state).getParcelable("saved_state");
mRecyclerPosition = ((Bundle)state).getInt("position",-1);
isRestored=true;
super.onRestoreInstanceState(savedState);
}
}
If you use recyclerview in nestedScrollView you must scroll nestScrollview
nestedScrollview.smoothScrollTo(0,0)
Maybe It's not so elegant way to do it, But this always works for me. Add a new method to the RecyclerView and use it insted of scrollToPosition:
public void myScrollTo(int pos){
stopScroll();
((LinearLayoutManager)getLayoutManager()).scrollToPositionWithOffset(pos,0);
}
The answer is to use the Post Method, it will guarantee correct execution for any action
This is the ultimate solution using kotlin in this date ... if you navigate to another fragment and go back and your recyclerview resets to the first position just add this line in onCreateView or wherever you need can call the adapter...
pagingAdapter.stateRestorationPolicy=RecyclerView.Adapter.StateRestorationPolicy.PREVENT_WHEN_EMPTY
BTW pagingAdapter is my adapter with diffUtil.
I had a similar issue, (but not the same), I try to explain it, maybe be could help someone else:
By the time I call to 'scrollToPosition' dataset is already set but some content like images loaded async (using Glide library) and probably when RecyclerView tries to compute the height amount to scroll down, image should return 0 as no loaded yet. So that gives an inaccurate scroll down I could solve it that way:
fun LinearLayoutManager.accurateScrollToPosition(position: Int) {
this.scrollToPosition(position)
this.postOnAnimation {
val realPosition = this.findFirstVisibleItemPosition()
if (position != realPosition) {
this.accurateScrollToPosition(position)
} else {
this.scrollToPosition(position) // this looks redunadant or inecessary but must be call to ensure accurate scroll
}
}
}
PD: In my case was not possible to know the size of the image to be loaded, if you know or you can resize the image you can add a placeholder on glide with de image size or override de size so recyclerView can compute the size correctly and don't need the above walkaraound.

Calling View.getTop() in Robolectric always returns 0 [duplicate]

I am creating all of the elements in my android project dynamically. I am trying to get the width and height of a button so that I can rotate that button around. I am just trying to learn how to work with the android language. However, it returns 0.
I did some research and I saw that it needs to be done somewhere other than in the onCreate() method. If someone can give me an example of how to do it, that would be great.
Here is my current code:
package com.animation;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.animation.Animation;
import android.view.animation.LinearInterpolator;
import android.view.animation.RotateAnimation;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.LinearLayout;
public class AnimateScreen extends Activity {
//Called when the activity is first created.
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
LinearLayout ll = new LinearLayout(this);
LinearLayout.LayoutParams layoutParams = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
layoutParams.setMargins(30, 20, 30, 0);
Button bt = new Button(this);
bt.setText(String.valueOf(bt.getWidth()));
RotateAnimation ra = new RotateAnimation(0,360,bt.getWidth() / 2,bt.getHeight() / 2);
ra.setDuration(3000L);
ra.setRepeatMode(Animation.RESTART);
ra.setRepeatCount(Animation.INFINITE);
ra.setInterpolator(new LinearInterpolator());
bt.startAnimation(ra);
ll.addView(bt,layoutParams);
setContentView(ll);
}
Any help is appreciated.
The basic problem is, that you have to wait for the drawing phase for the actual measurements (especially with dynamic values like wrap_content or match_parent), but usually this phase hasn't been finished up to onResume(). So you need a workaround for waiting for this phase. There a are different possible solutions to this:
1. Listen to Draw/Layout Events: ViewTreeObserver
A ViewTreeObserver gets fired for different drawing events. Usually the OnGlobalLayoutListener is what you want for getting the measurement, so the code in the listener will be called after the layout phase, so the measurements are ready:
view.getViewTreeObserver().addOnGlobalLayoutListener(new ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener() {
#Override
public void onGlobalLayout() {
view.getViewTreeObserver().removeOnGlobalLayoutListener(this);
view.getHeight(); //height is ready
}
});
Note: The listener will be immediately removed because otherwise it will fire on every layout event. If you have to support apps SDK Lvl < 16 use this to unregister the listener:
public void removeGlobalOnLayoutListener (ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener victim)
2. Add a runnable to the layout queue: View.post()
Not very well known and my favourite solution. Basically just use the View's post method with your own runnable. This basically queues your code after the view's measure, layout, etc. as stated by Romain Guy:
The UI event queue will process events in order. After
setContentView() is invoked, the event queue will contain a message
asking for a relayout, so anything you post to the queue will happen
after the layout pass
Example:
final View view=//smth;
...
view.post(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
view.getHeight(); //height is ready
}
});
The advantage over ViewTreeObserver:
your code is only executed once and you don't have to disable the Observer after execution which can be a hassle
less verbose syntax
References:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/3602144/774398
https://stackoverflow.com/a/3948036/774398
3. Overwrite Views's onLayout Method
This is only practical in certain situation when the logic can be encapsulated in the view itself, otherwise this is a quite verbose and cumbersome syntax.
view = new View(this) {
#Override
protected void onLayout(boolean changed, int l, int t, int r, int b) {
super.onLayout(changed, l, t, r, b);
view.getHeight(); //height is ready
}
};
Also mind, that onLayout will be called many times, so be considerate what you do in the method, or disable your code after the first time
4. Check if has been through layout phase
If you have code that is executing multiple times while creating the ui you could use the following support v4 lib method:
View viewYouNeedHeightFrom = ...
...
if(ViewCompat.isLaidOut(viewYouNeedHeightFrom)) {
viewYouNeedHeightFrom.getHeight();
}
Returns true if view has been through at least one layout since it was
last attached to or detached from a window.
Additional: Getting staticly defined measurements
If it suffices to just get the statically defined height/width, you can just do this with:
View.getMeasuredWidth()
View.getMeasuredHeigth()
But mind you, that this might be different to the actual width/height after drawing. The javadoc describes the difference in more detail:
The size of a view is expressed with a width and a height. A view
actually possess two pairs of width and height values.
The first pair is known as measured width and measured height. These
dimensions define how big a view wants to be within its parent (see
Layout for more details.) The measured dimensions can be obtained by
calling getMeasuredWidth() and getMeasuredHeight().
The second pair is simply known as width and height, or sometimes
drawing width and drawing height. These dimensions define the actual
size of the view on screen, at drawing time and after layout. These
values may, but do not have to, be different from the measured width
and height. The width and height can be obtained by calling getWidth()
and getHeight().
We can use
#Override
public void onWindowFocusChanged(boolean hasFocus) {
super.onWindowFocusChanged(hasFocus);
//Here you can get the size!
}
You are calling getWidth() too early. The UI has not been sized and laid out on the screen yet.
I doubt you want to be doing what you are doing, anyway -- widgets being animated do not change their clickable areas, and so the button will still respond to clicks in the original orientation regardless of how it has rotated.
That being said, you can use a dimension resource to define the button size, then reference that dimension resource from your layout file and your source code, to avoid this problem.
I used this solution, which I think is better than onWindowFocusChanged(). If you open a DialogFragment, then rotate the phone, onWindowFocusChanged will be called only when the user closes the dialog):
yourView.getViewTreeObserver().addOnGlobalLayoutListener(new ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener() {
#Override
public void onGlobalLayout() {
// Ensure you call it only once :
yourView.getViewTreeObserver().removeGlobalOnLayoutListener(this);
// Here you can get the size :)
}
});
Edit : as removeGlobalOnLayoutListener is deprecated, you should now do :
#SuppressLint("NewApi")
#SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
#Override
public void onGlobalLayout() {
// Ensure you call it only once :
if(android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN) {
yourView.getViewTreeObserver().removeOnGlobalLayoutListener(this);
}
else {
yourView.getViewTreeObserver().removeGlobalOnLayoutListener(this);
}
// Here you can get the size :)
}
If you need to get width of some widget before it is displayed on screen, you can use getMeasuredWidth() or getMeasuredHeight().
myImage.measure(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
int width = myImage.getMeasuredWidth();
int height = myImage.getMeasuredHeight();
As Ian states in this Android Developers thread:
Anyhow, the deal is that layout of the
contents of a window happens
after all the elements are constructed and added to their parent
views. It has to be this way, because
until you know what components a View
contains, and what they contain, and
so on, there's no sensible way you can
lay it out.
Bottom line, if you call getWidth()
etc. in a constructor, it will return
zero. The procedure is to create all
your view elements in the constructor,
then wait for your View's
onSizeChanged() method to be called --
that's when you first find out your
real size, so that's when you set up
the sizes of your GUI elements.
Be aware too that onSizeChanged() is
sometimes called with parameters of
zero -- check for this case, and
return immediately (so you don't get a
divide by zero when calculating your
layout, etc.). Some time later it
will be called with the real values.
I would rather use OnPreDrawListener() instead of addOnGlobalLayoutListener(), since it is called a bit earlier than other listeners.
view.getViewTreeObserver().addOnPreDrawListener(new ViewTreeObserver.OnPreDrawListener()
{
#Override
public boolean onPreDraw()
{
if (view.getViewTreeObserver().isAlive())
view.getViewTreeObserver().removeOnPreDrawListener(this);
// put your code here
return true;
}
});
Adjusted the code according to comment of #Pang. onPreDraw method should return true to proceed with the current drawing pass.
AndroidX has multiple extension functions that help you with this kind of work, inside androidx.core.view
You need to use Kotlin for this.
The one that best fits here is doOnLayout:
Performs the given action when this view is laid out. If the view has been laid out and it has not requested a layout, the action will be performed straight away otherwise, the action will be performed after the view is next laid out.
The action will only be invoked once on the next layout and then removed.
In your example:
bt.doOnLayout {
val ra = RotateAnimation(0,360,it.width / 2,it.height / 2)
// more code
}
Dependency: androidx.core:core-ktx:1.0.0
A Kotlin Extension to observe on the global layout and perform a given task when height is ready dynamically.
Usage:
view.height { Log.i("Info", "Here is your height:" + it) }
Implementation:
fun <T : View> T.height(function: (Int) -> Unit) {
if (height == 0)
viewTreeObserver.addOnGlobalLayoutListener(object : ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener {
override fun onGlobalLayout() {
viewTreeObserver.removeOnGlobalLayoutListener(this)
function(height)
}
})
else function(height)
}
It happens because the view needs more time to be inflated. So instead of calling view.width and view.height on the main thread, you should use view.post { ... } to make sure that your view has already been inflated. In Kotlin:
view.post{width}
view.post{height}
In Java you can also call getWidth() and getHeight() methods in a Runnable and pass the Runnable to view.post() method.
view.post(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
view.getWidth();
view.getHeight();
}
});
One liner if you are using RxJava & RxBindings. Similar approach without the boilerplate. This also solves the hack to suppress warnings as in the answer by Tim Autin.
RxView.layoutChanges(yourView).take(1)
.subscribe(aVoid -> {
// width and height have been calculated here
});
This is it. No need to be unsubscribe, even if never called.
Maybe this helps someone:
Create an extension function for the View class
filename: ViewExt.kt
fun View.afterLayout(what: () -> Unit) {
if(isLaidOut) {
what.invoke()
} else {
viewTreeObserver.addOnGlobalLayoutListener(object : ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener {
override fun onGlobalLayout() {
viewTreeObserver.removeOnGlobalLayoutListener(this)
what.invoke()
}
})
}
}
This can then be used on any view with:
view.afterLayout {
do something with view.height
}
Height and width are zero because view has not been created by the time you are requesting it's height and width .
One simplest solution is
view.post(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
view.getHeight(); //height is ready
view.getWidth(); //width is ready
}
});
This method is good as compared to other methods as it is short and crisp.
If you are using Kotlin
customView.viewTreeObserver.addOnGlobalLayoutListener(object : ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener {
override fun onGlobalLayout() {
if(android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN) {
customView.viewTreeObserver.removeOnGlobalLayoutListener(this)
}
else {
customView.viewTreeObserver.removeGlobalOnLayoutListener(this)
}
// Here you can get the size :)
viewWidth = customView.width
}
})
Answer with post is incorrect, because the size might not be recalculated.
Another important thing is that the view and all it ancestors must be visible. For that I use a property View.isShown.
Here is my kotlin function, that can be placed somewhere in utils:
fun View.onInitialized(onInit: () -> Unit) {
viewTreeObserver.addOnGlobalLayoutListener(object : OnGlobalLayoutListener {
override fun onGlobalLayout() {
if (isShown) {
viewTreeObserver.removeOnGlobalLayoutListener(this)
onInit()
}
}
})
}
And the usage is:
myView.onInitialized {
Log.d(TAG, "width is: " + myView.width)
}
For Kotlin:
I have faced a production crash due to use view.height/ view.width which lead to NaN while I was using View.post() which sometimes view diemsions returned with 0 value.
So,
Use view.doOnPreDraw { // your action here} which is:
OneShotPreDrawListener so it called only one time.
Implements OnPreDrawListener which make sure view is layouted and measured
well , you can use addOnLayoutChangeListener
you can use it in onCreate in Activity or onCreateView in Fragment
#Edit
dont forget to remove it because in some cases its trigger infinite loop
myView.addOnLayoutChangeListener(object : View.OnLayoutChangeListener{
override fun onLayoutChange(
v: View?, left: Int, top: Int, right: Int, bottom: Int, oldLeft: Int, oldTop: Int, oldRight: Int, oldBottom: Int
) {
if (v?.width > 0 && v?.height > 0){
// do something
Log.i(TAG, "view : ${view.width}")
// remove after finish
v?.removeOnLayoutChangeListener(this)
}
}
})
Cleanest way of doing this is using post method of view :
kotlin:
view.post{
var width = view.width
var height = view.height
}
Java:
view.post(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
int width = view.getWidth();
int height = view.getHeight();
}
});
Gone views returns 0 as height if app in background.
This my code (1oo% works)
fun View.postWithTreeObserver(postJob: (View, Int, Int) -> Unit) {
viewTreeObserver.addOnGlobalLayoutListener(object : ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener {
override fun onGlobalLayout() {
val widthSpec = View.MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(0, View.MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED)
val heightSpec = View.MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(0, View.MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED)
measure(widthSpec, heightSpec)
postJob(this#postWithTreeObserver, measuredWidth, measuredHeight)
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN) {
#Suppress("DEPRECATION")
viewTreeObserver.removeGlobalOnLayoutListener(this)
} else {
viewTreeObserver.removeOnGlobalLayoutListener(this)
}
}
})
}
We need to wait for view will be drawn. For this purpose use OnPreDrawListener. Kotlin example:
val preDrawListener = object : ViewTreeObserver.OnPreDrawListener {
override fun onPreDraw(): Boolean {
view.viewTreeObserver.removeOnPreDrawListener(this)
// code which requires view size parameters
return true
}
}
view.viewTreeObserver.addOnPreDrawListener(preDrawListener)
In my case, I can't get a view's height by post or by addOnGlobalLayoutListener, it's always 0. Because my view is in a fragment, and the fragment is the second tab in MainActivity. when I open MainActivity, I enter the first tab, so the second tab doesn't show on the screen. But onGlobalLayout() or post() function still has a callback.
I get the view's height when the second fragment is visible on the screen. And this time I get the correct height.
Usage:
imageView.size { width, height ->
//your code
}
View extention:
fun <T : View> T.size(function: (Int, Int) -> Unit) {
if (isLaidOut && height != 0 && width != 0) {
function(width, height)
} else {
if (height == 0 || width == 0) {
var onLayoutChangeListener: View.OnLayoutChangeListener? = null
var onGlobalLayoutListener: ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener? = null
onGlobalLayoutListener = object : ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener {
override fun onGlobalLayout() {
if (isShown) {
removeOnLayoutChangeListener(onLayoutChangeListener)
viewTreeObserver.removeOnGlobalLayoutListener(this)
function(width, height)
}
}
}
onLayoutChangeListener = object : View.OnLayoutChangeListener {
override fun onLayoutChange(
v: View?,
left: Int,
top: Int,
right: Int,
bottom: Int,
oldLeft: Int,
oldTop: Int,
oldRight: Int,
oldBottom: Int
) {
val width = v?.width ?: 0
val height = v?.height ?: 0
if (width > 0 && height > 0) {
// remove after finish
viewTreeObserver.removeOnGlobalLayoutListener(onGlobalLayoutListener)
v?.removeOnLayoutChangeListener(this)
function(width, height)
}
}
}
viewTreeObserver.addOnGlobalLayoutListener(onGlobalLayoutListener)
addOnLayoutChangeListener(onLayoutChangeListener)
} else {
function(width, height)
}
}
}
public final class ViewUtils {
public interface ViewUtilsListener {
void onDrawCompleted();
}
private ViewUtils() {
}
public static void onDraw(View view, ViewUtilsListener listener) {
view.getViewTreeObserver().addOnGlobalLayoutListener(new ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener() {
#Override
public void onGlobalLayout() {
if (view.getHeight() != 0 && view.getWidth() != 0) {
if (listener != null) {
listener.onDrawCompleted();
}
view.getViewTreeObserver().removeOnGlobalLayoutListener(this);
}
}
});
}
}
you can use like this ;
ViewUtils.onDraw(view, new ViewUtils.ViewUtilsListener() {
#Override
public void onDrawCompleted() {
int width = view.getWidth();
int height = view.getHeight();
}
});
private val getWidth: Int
get() {
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 30) {
val windowMetrics =windowManager.currentWindowMetrics
val bounds = windowMetrics.bounds
var adWidthPixels = View.width.toFloat()
if (adWidthPixels == 0f) {
adWidthPixels = bounds.width().toFloat()
}
val density = resources.displayMetrics.density
val adWidth = (adWidthPixels / density).toInt()
return adWidth
} else {
val display = windowManager.defaultDisplay
val outMetrics = DisplayMetrics()
display.getMetrics(outMetrics)
val density = outMetrics.density
var adWidthPixels = View.width.toFloat()
if (adWidthPixels == 0f) {
adWidthPixels = outMetrics.widthPixels.toFloat()
}
val adWidth = (adWidthPixels / density).toInt()
return adWidth
}
}
replace (View) with the view you want to measure
This is a little old, but was having trouble with this myself (needing to animate objects in a fragment when it is created). This solution worked for me, I believe it is self explanatory.
class YourFragment: Fragment() {
var width = 0
var height = 0
override fun onCreateView(
inflater: LayoutInflater, container: ViewGroup?,
savedInstanceState: Bundle?
): View? {
// Inflate the layout for this fragment
val root = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_winner_splash, container, false)
container?.width.let {
if (it != null) {
width = it
}
}
container?.height.let {
if (it != null) {
height = it
}
}
return root
}
If you're worried about overworking the onDraw method, you can always set the dimension as null during construction and then only set the dimension inside of onDraw if it's null.
That way you're not really doing any work inside onDraw
class myView(context:Context,attr:AttributeSet?):View(context,attr){
var height:Float?=null
override fun onDraw(canvas:Canvas){
if (height==null){height=this.height.toFloat()}
}
}

(Smooth)ScrollToPosition doesn't work properly with RecyclerView

I'm using basic RecyclerView with GridLayoutManager. I observed that nor smoothScrollToPosition nor scrollToPosition works properly.
a) when using smoothScrollToPosition I often receive error from RecyclerView
"RecyclerView﹕ Passed over target position while smooth scrolling."
and RecyclerView is not scrolled properly (often it misses the targeted row). This is observed mostly when I'm trying to scroll to the 1st item of some row
b) when using scrollToPosition it seems to work quite ok but most of the time I can see only the 1st item of the row and the rest are not displayed.
Can you give me some hints how to make work properly at least one of the methods?
Thanks a lot!
Finally I was able to make it work! LinearLayoutManager.scrollToPositionWithOffset(int, int) did the trick.
I also have same issue, but managed to fix the issue by Customizing SmoothScroller
let Custom LayoutManager as below
public class CustomLayoutManager extends LinearLayoutManager {
private static final float MILLISECONDS_PER_INCH = 50f;
private Context mContext;
public CustomLayoutManager(Context context) {
super(context);
mContext = context;
}
#Override
public void smoothScrollToPosition(RecyclerView recyclerView,
RecyclerView.State state, final int position) {
LinearSmoothScroller smoothScroller =
new LinearSmoothScroller(mContext) {
//This controls the direction in which smoothScroll looks
//for your view
#Override
public PointF computeScrollVectorForPosition
(int targetPosition) {
return CustomLayoutManager.this
.computeScrollVectorForPosition(targetPosition);
}
//This returns the milliseconds it takes to
//scroll one pixel.
#Override
protected float calculateSpeedPerPixel
(DisplayMetrics displayMetrics) {
return MILLISECONDS_PER_INCH/displayMetrics.densityDpi;
}
};
smoothScroller.setTargetPosition(position);
startSmoothScroll(smoothScroller);
}
}
(documentation commented inside the code given above)Please set the above LayoutManager
to the recyerview
CustomLayoutManagerlayoutManager = new CustomLayoutManager(getActivity());
recyclerView.setLayoutManager(layoutManager);
recyclerView.smoothScrollToPosition(position);
by using the custom Layout manager
scrollToPosition
also working well in my case u can use
recyclerView.scrollToPosition(position)
also if you want to adjust the speed of smoothScrollToPosition please override the
private static final float MILLISECONDS_PER_INCH = 50f;
in CustomLayoutManager.
So if we put the value as 1f the smoothScrollToPosition will be faster like scrollToPosition.increasing value make delay and decreasing will make the speed of scroll.
Hope this will useful.
In My case,
mRecyclerView.scrollToPosition(10);
also did not work.
But
mRecyclerView.smoothScrollToPosition(10);
works fine for me...
To scroll down smoothly to bottom from any position in the RecyclerView on clicking EditText.
edittext.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
rv_commentList.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
rv_commentList.scrollToPosition(rv_commentList.getAdapter().getItemCount() - 1);
}
}, 1000);
}
});
Another reason why any of the before mentioned solutions may not work is if your RecyclerView is embedded in a NestedScrollView. In this case you have to call the scroll action on the NestedScrollView.
for example:
nestedScrollview.smoothScrollTo(0,0)
This extension is so useful, try please.
fun RecyclerView.smoothSnapToPosition(position: Int, snapMode: Int = LinearSmoothScroller.SNAP_TO_START) {
val smoothScroller = object : LinearSmoothScroller(this.context) {
override fun getVerticalSnapPreference(): Int = snapMode
override fun getHorizontalSnapPreference(): Int = snapMode
}
smoothScroller.targetPosition = position
layoutManager?.startSmoothScroll(smoothScroller)
}
I was facing a weird issue wherein smoothScrollToPosition only worked occasionally.
After putting the smoothScrollToPosition inside Handler Post
Delayed with 1 second delay, it worked fine.
Refer to the following Kotlin example:
Handler().postDelayed({
recyclerViewObject.smoothScrollToPosition(0) // mention the position in place of 0
}, 1000) // 1000 indicates the 1 second delay.
recyclerView.getLayoutManager().smoothScrollToPosition(recyclerView,new RecyclerView.State(),currentPosition);
Try measuring item width or height and call smoothScrollBy(int dx, int dy).
How to perform smooth scrolling and save RecyclerView vertical position after device rotating:
This is the method that works for my case,
public class MainFragment extends Fragment { //OR activity it's //fragment in my case
....
#Override
public void onLoadFinished(#NonNull Loader<List<Report>> loader, List<Report> objects) { // or other method of your choice, in my case it's a Loader
RecyclerView recyclerViewRv = findViewById(........;
.....
recyclerViewRv.setAdapter(.....Your adapter);
recyclerViewRv.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);
recyclerScrollY = recyclerViewRv. computeVerticalScrollOffset();
}
});
//Apply smooth vertical scroll
recyclerViewRv.smoothScrollBy(0,recyclerScrollY);
}
//Save vertical scroll position before rotating devices
#Override
public void onSaveInstanceState(#NonNull Bundle outState) {
super.onSaveInstanceState(outState);
outState.putInt("recyclerScrollY",recyclerScrollY);
}
//BackUp vertical scroll position after rotating devices
#Override
public void onCreate(#Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
if(savedInstanceState != null) {
recyclerScrollY = savedInstanceState.getInt("recyclerScrollY");
}
}
//If you want to perform the same operation for horizontal scrolling just add a variable called recyclerScrollX = recyclerScrollY = recyclerViewRv. computeHorizontalScrollOffset(); then save in bundle
Calling the recyclerView smoothScroll isn't effective, as the recyclerView itself doesn't handle its layout.
What you should do is calling the layout manager scroll method instead.
This should look something like this
mRecyclerView.getLayoutManager().scrollToPosition(desiredPosition);
If you are trying to do a quick scroll to a position at the top of the RecyclerView, just use LinearLayoutManager.scrollToPositionWithOffset with 0 as the offset.
Example:
mLinearLayoutManager = new LinearLayoutManager(this);
recyclerView.setLayoutManager(mLinearLayoutManager);
mLinearLayoutManager.scrollToPositionWithOffset(myPosition, 0);
smoothScrollToPosition is very slow. If you want something fast go with scrollToPositionWithOffset.
when you use scrollToPosition it will show it on top of the recycler view.
But if you use smoothScrollToPosition it will scroll till it come in to Window Visible. that's why while smoothScrool to item below, it will show it on bottom
Actually, if you have a RecyclerView inside a NestedScrollView, you must use both of these lines every time you want to go to the beginning of the RecyclerView:
nestedScrollView.smoothScrollTo(0, 0);
layoutManager.scrollToPositionWithOffset(0, 0);
This completely works for me.
this worked for me
Handler().postDelayed({
(recyclerView.getLayoutManager() as LinearLayoutManager).scrollToPositionWithOffset( 0, 0)
}, 100)
None of these answers worked for me. I needed to smoothScrollToPosition but #Ramz answer didn't work. I was finding it would consistently overscroll but only in one direction. I discovered that it seemed to be the item decorators throwing it off. I had a horizontal layout and I wanted to add a space after every item except the last and it didn't like that asymmetry. As soon as I included a space after every item, it worked!
nestedScroll.smoothScrollTo(0, recycler.top)
So i was looking for a solution to get back to the top with a recyclerview inside another layout that has a view on top of it (in my case I had a LinearLayout with a TextView and my recyclerview inside). Because of that the smoothscroll would go only to half the way to the first item.
Here's what I did which works really well (Kotlin solution):
back_to_top.setOnClickListener {
GlobalScope.launch(Dispatchers.Main) {
GlobalScope.launch(Dispatchers.Main) {
recyclerview.layoutManager?.smoothScrollToPosition(recyclerview, RecyclerView.State(), 0)
delay((recyclerview.layoutManager as LinearLayoutManager).findLastVisibleItemPosition() * 100L)
}.join()
recyclerview.scrollToPosition(0)
}
back_to_top.visibility = View.GONE
}
}
Here what I do is I smoothscroll to the first element and delay the scroll by 100ms times the last item visible and then call the scrollToPosition(0) (which goes to the top.correctly)
