How can I snap to particular position for LinearSnapHelper() in horizontal RecyclerView? There is a function scrolltoposition for RecyclerView which scroll to that position but did not keep it in center for this snaphelper.
I am looking for something like below image. So when I set to particular position, it will keep it in center. I dont find anything related to select position for SnapHelper
i find this , but this doesn't help me. Any help would be appreciated.
Add this where ever you want to scroll your recycler view
recyclerView.scrollToPosition(position)
recyclerView.post {
var view = recyclerView.layoutManager?.findViewByPosition(position);
if (view == null) {
// do nothing
}
var snapDistance = snapHelper.calculateDistanceToFinalSnap(recyclerView.layoutManager!!, view!!)
if (snapDistance?.get(0) != 0 || snapDistance[1] != 0) {
recyclerView.scrollBy(snapDistance?.get(0)!!, snapDistance?.get(1));
}
}
By using this LinearSnap Helper which is attached to your recycler view
var snapHelper = LinearSnapHelper()
snapHelper.attachToRecyclerView(recyclerView)
If I understand your question, you are looking for a way to jump to a position and have that position centered in the RecyclerView.
Maybe you have tried RecyclerView.scrollToPosition() but that doesn't snap to the view. You may also have tried RecyclerView.smoothScrollToPosition() and that works better but you may want to avoid all the movement if you have a lot of items and are scrolling a long way.
The reason that scrollToPosition() doesn't work is that it doesn't trigger the LinearSnapHelper which uses a scroll listener to detect when to snap. Since smoothScrollToPosition() does trigger the LinearSnapHelper, we will use scrollToPosition() to get us in the area of the target view then use smoothScrollToPosition() to get the view centered as follows:
private RecyclerView mRecycler;
private void newScrollTo(final int pos) {
RecyclerView.ViewHolder vh = mRecycler.findViewHolderForLayoutPosition(pos);
if (vh != null) {
// Target view is available, so just scroll to it.
mRecycler.smoothScrollToPosition(pos);
} else {
// Target view is not available. Scroll to it.
mRecycler.addOnScrollListener(new RecyclerView.OnScrollListener() {
// From the documentation:
// This callback will also be called if visible item range changes after a layout
// calculation. In that case, dx and dy will be 0.This callback will also be called
// if visible item range changes after a layout calculation. In that case,
// dx and dy will be 0.
@Override
public void onScrolled(RecyclerView recyclerView, int dx, int dy) {
super.onScrolled(recyclerView, dx, dy);
mRecycler.removeOnScrollListener(this);
if (dx == 0) {
newScrollTo(pos);
}
}
});
mRecycler.scrollToPosition(pos);
}
}
Sample app

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private final LinearLayoutManager mLayoutManager = new LinearLayoutManager(this, LinearLayoutManager.HORIZONTAL, false);
private final List<String> mItems = new ArrayList<>();
private RecyclerView mRecycler;
private final int mItemCount = 2000;
private final Handler mHandler = new Handler();
private final LinearSnapHelper mLinearSnapHelper = new LinearSnapHelper();
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
for (int i = 0; i < mItemCount; i++) {
mItems.add(i + "");
}
mRecycler = findViewById(R.id.recyclerView);
final RecyclerViewAdapter adapter = new RecyclerViewAdapter(null);
adapter.setItems(mItems);
mRecycler.setLayoutManager(mLayoutManager);
mRecycler.setAdapter(adapter);
mLinearSnapHelper.attachToRecyclerView(mRecycler);
newScrollTo(1);
// fireScrollTo();
}
private int maxScrolls = mItemCount;
private void fireScrollTo() {
if (--maxScrolls > 0) {
int pos = (int) (Math.random() * mItemCount);
newScrollTo(pos);
mHandler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
fireScrollTo();
}
}, 2000);
}
}
private void newScrollTo(final int pos) {
mRecycler.smoothScrollToPosition(pos);
RecyclerView.ViewHolder vh = mRecycler.findViewHolderForLayoutPosition(pos);
if (vh != null) {
// Target view is available, so just scroll to it.
mRecycler.smoothScrollToPosition(pos);
} else {
// Target view is not available. Scroll to it.
mRecycler.addOnScrollListener(new RecyclerView.OnScrollListener() {
// From the documentation:
// This callback will also be called if visible item range changes after a layout
// calculation. In that case, dx and dy will be 0.This callback will also be called

For horizontal RecyclerView, you should use PagerSnapHelper() instead of LinearSnapHelper().
Just did some research and trace the SnapHelper's source code, it turns out the solution could be very simple:
class MyPagerSnapHelper: PagerSnapHelper() {
fun smoothScrollToPosition(layoutManager: RecyclerView.LayoutManager, position: Int) {
val smoothScroller = createScroller(layoutManager) ?: return
smoothScroller.targetPosition = position
layoutManager.startSmoothScroll(smoothScroller)
}
}
And then you can pass RecyclerView's LayoutManager and target position here
snapHelper.smoothScrollToPosition(recyclerView.layoutManager!!, index)
