ui freezes when ask question recycler view adapter start listening and ui only freezes for few seconds until all data is loaded in recycler view.
Any one have any solutions ???
More elaboration of the Issue:
1)I have three recycler view under this layout: Two top most Horizontal and last one Vertical in direction.
2)As this is my main dashboard. I have put nested scroll view listener for adapters to start listening when the particular layout containing that recycler view appears on the screen. Top most two adapters and their corresponding recycler views are working perfectly fine. But when the last recycler view which is vertical in Direction, appears on the screen, It freezes the entire UI, as its adapter starts listening, for few seconds(aprrox. 1-2 seconds). In this, adapter loads only last 10 items from the server.
I have tried:
1). Fixing the hieght of recyler view.
2). Fixing the height of Layout containing that recycler view.
3). Changed the Main Container Layout From Linear Layout to Constraint Layout.(As It was suggested in one of the comments under that thread(mentioned at the end of this thread)).
4). Tried android:nestedScrollingEnabled="false".
5). Tried app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior".
Nothing has worked for this particular problem.
How to get rid of this this freezing of Ui. It should kept scrolling along the items get recycled in recycler view.
It could be same question asked in this thread. RecyclerView inside NestedScrollview alternative
