How to auto scroll RecyclerView smoothly so that user can see all the elements of the RecyclerView and scroll again from the start - as in News Feed etc.
I know smoothScrollToPosition() and scrollToPosition() but they would just end up scrolling too fast to the last element.
I want the RecyclerView to be animated and move slowly.
Just to improve on the answer a little, it's auto scrolling infinity with smooth animation.
final int speedScroll = 1200;
final Handler handler = new Handler();
final Runnable runnable = new Runnable() {
int count = 0;
boolean flag = true;
@Override
public void run() {
if(count < adapter.getItemCount()){
if(count==adapter.getItemCount()-1){
flag = false;
}else if(count == 0){
flag = true;
}
if(flag) count++;
else count--;
recyclerView.smoothScrollToPosition(count);
handler.postDelayed(this,speedScroll);
}
}
};
handler.postDelayed(runnable,speedScroll);
This is exactly your answer but if you link to more smooth animation then use LayoutManager
recyclerView.setLayoutManager(new CustomLinearLayoutManager(mContext, LinearLayoutManager.HORIZONTAL, false));
Control you animation changing MILLISECONDS_PER_INCH value.
public class CustomLinearLayoutManager extends LinearLayoutManager {
public CustomLinearLayoutManager(Context context) {
super(context);
}
public CustomLinearLayoutManager(Context context, int orientation, boolean reverseLayout) {
super(context, orientation, reverseLayout);
}
public CustomLinearLayoutManager(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr, int defStyleRes) {
super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr, defStyleRes);
}
@Override
public void smoothScrollToPosition(RecyclerView recyclerView, RecyclerView.State state, int position) {
final LinearSmoothScroller linearSmoothScroller =
new LinearSmoothScroller(recyclerView.getContext()) {
private static final float MILLISECONDS_PER_INCH = 200f;
@Override
public PointF computeScrollVectorForPosition(int targetPosition) {
return CustomLinearLayoutManager.this
.computeScrollVectorForPosition(targetPosition);
}
@Override
protected float calculateSpeedPerPixel
(DisplayMetrics displayMetrics) {
return MILLISECONDS_PER_INCH / displayMetrics.densityDpi;
}
};
linearSmoothScroller.setTargetPosition(position);
startSmoothScroll(linearSmoothScroller);
}
}
I think this is the best solution for this.
final int speedScroll = 150;
final Handler handler = new Handler();
final Runnable runnable = new Runnable() {
int count = 0;
@Override
public void run() {
if(count < list.size()){
recyclerView.scrollToPosition(count++);
handler.postDelayed(this,speedScroll);
}
}
};
handler.postDelayed(runnable,speedScroll);
This is the best way to Auto Scroll RecyclerView and its 100% working :
RecyclerView recyclerView = findViewById(R.id.rv_id);
final int time = 4000; // it's the delay time for sliding between items in recyclerview
final Adapter adapter = new Adapter(dataItems);
recyclerView.setAdapter(adapter);
final LinearLayoutManager linearLayoutManager = new LinearLayoutManager(rootView.getContext(), LinearLayoutManager.HORIZONTAL, false);
recyclerView.setLayoutManager(linearLayoutManager);
//The LinearSnapHelper will snap the center of the target child view to the center of the attached RecyclerView , it's optional if you want , you can use it
final LinearSnapHelper linearSnapHelper = new LinearSnapHelper();
linearSnapHelper.attachToRecyclerView(recyclerView);
final Timer timer = new Timer();
timer.schedule(new TimerTask() {
@Override
public void run() {
if (linearLayoutManager.findLastCompletelyVisibleItemPosition() < (adapter.getItemCount() - 1)) {
linearLayoutManager.smoothScrollToPosition(recyclerView, new RecyclerView.State(), linearLayoutManager.findLastCompletelyVisibleItemPosition() + 1);
}
else if (linearLayoutManager.findLastCompletelyVisibleItemPosition() == (adapter.getItemCount() - 1)) {
linearLayoutManager.smoothScrollToPosition(recyclerView, new RecyclerView.State(), 0);
}
}
}, 0, time);
After Trial And Errors This Works Perfect For Me
final RecyclerView mRecyclerViewr;
final ArrayList<String> stringArrayData = new ArrayList<String>
final LinearLayoutManager linearLayoutManager = new LinearLayoutManager(getApplicationContext(), LinearLayoutManager.HORIZONTAL, false);
mRecyclerViewr.setLayoutManager(linearLayoutManager);
CustomAdapter customAdapter = new CustomAdapter(getApplicationContext(), topPriceBarList);
mRecyclerViewr.setAdapter(customAdapter);
// Auto Scroll Left To Right
final int scrollSpeed = 100; // Scroll Speed in Milliseconds
final Handler handler = new Handler();
final Runnable runnable = new Runnable() {
int x = 15; // Pixels To Move/Scroll
boolean flag = true;
// Find Scroll Position By Accessing RecyclerView's LinearLayout's Visible Item Position
int scrollPosition = linearLayoutManager.findLastCompletelyVisibleItemPosition();
int arraySize = stringArrayData.size(); // Gets RecyclerView's Adapter's Array Size
@Override
public void run() {
if (scrollPosition < arraySize) {
if (scrollPosition == arraySize - 1) {
flag = false;
} else if (scrollPosition <= 1) {
flag = true;
}
if (!flag) {
try {
// Delay in Seconds So User Can Completely Read Till Last String
TimeUnit.SECONDS.sleep(1);
mRecyclerViewr.scrollToPosition(0); // Jumps Back Scroll To Start Point
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
// Know The Last Visible Item
scrollPosition = linearLayoutManager.findLastCompletelyVisibleItemPosition();
mRecyclerViewr.smoothScrollBy(x, 0);
handler.postDelayed(this, scrollSpeed);
}
}
};
handler.postDelayed(runnable, scrollSpeed);
This Will Auto Scroll Your RecyclerView To The End, Wait For a Second (So User Can Read Till End) And Jumps/Scroll Back To First String In RecyclerView's Array List.
If You Want To Auto Scroll in Posetive And Negative direction You Just Need To Change The Condition Instead Of Using if(!flag) You Need To Set Value Of x in it
if (flag) x = 15;
else x= -15; // For Auto Scroll To Negative i.e Left Direction
Simplified in Kotlin:
lifecycleScope.launch(Dispatchers.Main, start = CoroutineStart.DEFAULT) {
var position = MINIMUM_POSITION
repeat(AUTO_SCROLL_REPEATING_TIMES) {
delay(SCROLL_DELAY)
rvBanners.smoothScrollToPosition(position)
when {
position+1 == listSize -> position = 0
position == 0 -> position = MINIMUM_POSITION
else -> position++
}
}
}
If you want to start the auto-scroll at a specific time:
val job = lifecycleScope.launch(Dispatchers.Main, start = CoroutineStart.LAZY) {
var position = MINIMUM_POSITION
repeat(AUTO_SCROLL_REPEATING_TIMES) {
delay(SCROLL_DELAY)
rvBanners.smoothScrollToPosition(position)
when {
position+1 == listSize -> position = 0
position == 0 -> position = MINIMUM_POSITION
else -> position++
}
}
}
...
job.start()
private void hanldeAutoScroll() {
int position=0;
final int duration = 2000;
//final int pixelsToMove = 90;
final Handler mHandler = new Handler(Looper.getMainLooper());
final Runnable SCROLLING_RUNNABLE = new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
position++;
if (position<urls.size())
{
recyclerView.scrollToPosition(position);
}else if (position==urls.size())
{
position=-1;
}
// recyclerView.smoothScrollBy(pixelsToMove, 0);
mHandler.postDelayed(this, duration);
}
};
mHandler.postDelayed(SCROLLING_RUNNABLE, 2000);
}
You can also implement it in this way, after setting recyclerview to adapter
final int duration = 10;
final int pixelsToMove = 263;
final Handler mHandler = new Handler(Looper.getMainLooper());
final Runnable SCROLLING_RUNNABLE = new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
recyclerView.smoothScrollBy(pixelsToMove, 0);
mHandler.postDelayed(this, duration);
}
};
recyclerView.addOnScrollListener(new RecyclerView.OnScrollListener() {
@Override
public void onScrolled(RecyclerView recyclerView, int dx, int dy) {
super.onScrolled(recyclerView, dx, dy);
int lastItem = horizontalLayoutManager.findLastCompletelyVisibleItemPosition();
if (lastItem == horizontalLayoutManager.getItemCount() - 1) {
mHandler.removeCallbacks(SCROLLING_RUNNABLE);
Handler postHandler = new Handler();
postHandler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
quickTips.setAdapter(null);
quickTips.setAdapter(adapter);
mHandler.postDelayed(SCROLLING_RUNNABLE, 2000);
}
}, 2000);
}
}
});
mHandler.postDelayed(SCROLLING_RUNNABLE, 2000);
For Smooth Auto Scrolling you can use this custom RecyclerView Class, where you can also set the scrolling time.
public class AutoScrollRecyclerView extends RecyclerView {
private static long delayTime = 45;// How long after the interval to perform scrolling
AutoPollTask autoPollTask;// Scroll thread
private boolean running; // Is it rolling?
private boolean canRun;// Can it be automatically scrolled, depending on whether the data exceeds the screen
public AutoScrollRecyclerView(Context context) {
super(context);
}
public AutoScrollRecyclerView(Context context, @Nullable AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
autoPollTask = new AutoPollTask(this);// Instantiate the scroll refresh thread
}
static class AutoPollTask implements Runnable {
private final WeakReference<AutoScrollRecyclerView> mReference;
// Use weak references to hold external class references to prevent memory leaks
public AutoPollTask(AutoScrollRecyclerView reference) {
this.mReference = new WeakReference<>(reference);
}
@Override
public void run() {
AutoScrollRecyclerView recyclerView = mReference.get();// Get the recyclerview object
if (recyclerView != null && recyclerView.running && recyclerView.canRun) {
recyclerView.scrollBy(2, 2);// Note the difference between scrollBy and scrollTo
//delayed to send
recyclerView.postDelayed(recyclerView.autoPollTask, delayTime);
}
}
}
@Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent e) {
switch (e.getAction()) {
case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
/*if (running)
stop();*/
break;
case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
case MotionEvent.ACTION_CANCEL:
case MotionEvent.ACTION_OUTSIDE:
/*if (canRun)
start();*/
break;
}
return super.onTouchEvent(e);
}
//Open: If it is running, stop first -> then open
public void start() {
if (running)
stop();
canRun = true;
running = true;
postDelayed(autoPollTask, delayTime);
}
public void stop() {
running = false;
removeCallbacks(autoPollTask);
}
}
