类概述

这个灵活可变的View组件提供了一个在有限的窗口界面显示一个大数据集.

术语表:

Adapter(适配器):

RecyclerView.Adapter

的子类,负责提供用于展示数据集中某条目数据的View组件.
Position(位置): 适配器(Adapter)中的数据项目位置.
Index(索引): 一个已经附加的子组件的索引在

getChildAt(int)

方法中使用. 与Position形成对比.
Binding(绑定进程): 适配器中需要一个显示Position对应的数据的子组件,Binding就是准备该子组件的进程.
Recycle (view): 该View之前曾用于显示指定适配器位置的数据,那么这个View可能会被放置在一个缓存中,以便可以在之后被复用去显示同样类型的数据.上述操作可以跳过布局文件的初始化加载或创建, 这样就可以很大程度上提高应用的性能.
Scrap (view): 在布局过程中,一个已经进入暂时分离状态子组件.在不用完全从父类RecycleView中分离的情况下,该Scrap View可以被复用.如果组件被认为是作废的,那么重新绑定数据与组件和改变适配器不是必须的,不用作出改变.
Dirty (view): 一个子组件在显示之前,必须被适配器(Adapter)重新绑定.

RecyclerView中的位置(Position):

RecyclerView 引入了一个附加的抽象层次在

RecyclerView.Adapter

和

RecyclerView.LayoutManager

之间,用于在布局计算时成批量地观察数据集的变化. 这样从追踪Adapter(适配器)数据变化到计算动画效果, 产生一个布局管理器(LayoutManager).它同样对提升性能很有帮助,因为所有的组件绑定发生的同事时,避免没有数据改变的组件重新绑定数据.鉴于上述原因, 在 RecycleView 中有两种类型的与Position相关的方法:布局位置 (layout position): 最近的一次布局计算的项目位置. 这个位置(Position)是以布局管理器 (LayoutManager) 的角度来说的.
适配器位置 (adapter position): 适配器(Adapter)项目(Item)的位置. 这个位置(Position)是以适配器(Adapter)的角度来说的.
这两个位置 (Position) 基本上是一样的, 除了在分发

adapter.notify*

事件 和 计算更新的布局的时候不一样. 返回或者接收 布局位置(

*LayoutPosition*

) 的方法, 使用的位置是截止到最近的布局计算的位置 (例如

getLayoutPosition()

,

findViewHolderForLayoutPosition(int)

). 这些位置会一直变化, 直到最近的布局计算完成. 你可以依赖这些位置, 这些位置与用户当前在屏幕上看到的位置是一致的.例如, 如果你在屏幕上有一个项目列表, 用户要求使用第五个项目元素, 你可以使用这些方法, 因为这些方法对应的位置就是用户看到的位置.另外一些关于 适配器位置(

*AdapterPosition*

)的方法 (例如:

getAdapterPosition()

,

findViewHolderForAdapterPosition(int)

), 当你需要去使用最新的适配器位置时, 你应在使用这些方法, 即使这些位置还没有针对对布局进行更新. 例如, 如果你触发了 ViewHolder 点击事件, 想要去获取适配器中的项目元素, 你应该使用

getAdapterPosition()

方法. 注意这些方法可能不能去计算适配器的位置, 如果在

notifyDataSetChanged()

方法被调用, 同时新的布局在没有被计算时. 鉴于以上原因, 你应该小心的去处理 方法返回

NO_POSITION

或者

null

结果的情况.当你在重写布局管理器

RecyclerView.LayoutManager

时, 你总是想要去获取布局位置(Layout Position), 当你在重写 适配器

RecyclerView.Adapter

, 时, 你总是要获取适配器位置 (adapter positions).

Public Methods

public void addFocusables (ArrayList<View> views, int direction, int focusableMode)

Adds any focusable views that are descendants of this view (possibly including this view if it is focusable itself) to views. This method adds all focusable views regardless if we are in touch mode or only views focusable in touch mode if we are in touch mode or only views that can take accessibility focus if accessibility is enabled depending on the focusable mode parameter.Parameters

views	Focusable views found so far or null if all we are interested is the number of focusables.
direction	The direction of the focus.
focusableMode	The type of focusables to be added.

public void addItemDecoration (RecyclerView.ItemDecoration decor)

Add an

RecyclerView.ItemDecoration

to this RecyclerView. Item decorations can affect both measurement and drawing of individual item views.Item decorations are ordered. Decorations placed earlier in the list will be run/queried/drawn first for their effects on item views. Padding added to views will be nested; a padding added by an earlier decoration will mean further item decorations in the list will be asked to draw/pad within the previous decoration's given area.Parameters

decor	Decoration to add

public void addItemDecoration (RecyclerView.ItemDecoration decor, int index)

Add an

RecyclerView.ItemDecoration

to this RecyclerView. Item decorations can affect both measurement and drawing of individual item views.Item decorations are ordered. Decorations placed earlier in the list will be run/queried/drawn first for their effects on item views. Padding added to views will be nested; a padding added by an earlier decoration will mean further item decorations in the list will be asked to draw/pad within the previous decoration's given area.Parameters

decor	Decoration to add
index	Position in the decoration chain to insert this decoration at. If this value is negative the decoration will be added at the end.

public void addOnChildAttachStateChangeListener (RecyclerView.OnChildAttachStateChangeListener listener)

Register a listener that will be notified whenever a child view is attached to or detached from RecyclerView.This listener will be called when a LayoutManager or the RecyclerView decides that a child view is no longer needed. If an application associates expensive or heavyweight data with item views, this may be a good place to release or free those resources.Parameters

listener	Listener to register

public void addOnItemTouchListener (RecyclerView.OnItemTouchListener listener)

Add an

RecyclerView.OnItemTouchListener

to intercept touch events before they are dispatched to child views or this view's standard scrolling behavior.Client code may use listeners to implement item manipulation behavior. Once a listener returns true from

onInterceptTouchEvent(RecyclerView, MotionEvent)

its

onTouchEvent(RecyclerView, MotionEvent)

method will be called for each incoming MotionEvent until the end of the gesture.Parameters

listener	Listener to add

public boolean dispatchNestedFling (float velocityX, float velocityY, boolean consumed)

Dispatch a fling to a nested scrolling parent.This method should be used to indicate that a nested scrolling child has detected suitable conditions for a fling. Generally this means that a touch scroll has ended with a

velocity

in the direction of scrolling that meets or exceeds the

minimum fling velocity

along a scrollable axis.If a nested scrolling child view would normally fling but it is at the edge of its own content, it can use this method to delegate the fling to its nested scrolling parent instead. The parent may optionally consume the fling or observe a child fling.Parameters

velocityX	Horizontal fling velocity in pixels per second
velocityY	Vertical fling velocity in pixels per second
consumed	true if the child consumed the fling, false otherwise

Returnstrue if the nested scrolling parent consumed or otherwise reacted to the fling

public boolean dispatchNestedPreFling (float velocityX, float velocityY)

Dispatch a fling to a nested scrolling parent before it is processed by this view.Nested pre-fling events are to nested fling events what touch intercept is to touch and what nested pre-scroll is to nested scroll.

dispatchNestedPreFling

offsets an opportunity for the parent view in a nested fling to fully consume the fling before the child view consumes it. If this method returns

true

, a nested parent view consumed the fling and this view should not scroll as a result.For a better user experience, only one view in a nested scrolling chain should consume the fling at a time. If a parent view consumed the fling this method will return false. Custom view implementations should account for this in two ways:If a custom view is paged and needs to settle to a fixed page-point, do not call

dispatchNestedPreFling

; consume the fling and settle to a valid position regardless.
If a nested parent does consume the fling, this view should not scroll at all, even to settle back to a valid idle position.
Views should also not offer fling velocities to nested parent views along an axis where scrolling is not currently supported; a

ScrollView

should not offer a horizontal fling velocity to its parents since scrolling along that axis is not permitted and carrying velocity along that motion does not make sense.Parameters

velocityX	Horizontal fling velocity in pixels per second
velocityY	Vertical fling velocity in pixels per second

Returnstrue if a nested scrolling parent consumed the fling

public boolean dispatchNestedPreScroll (int dx, int dy, int[] consumed, int[] offsetInWindow)

Dispatch one step of a nested scroll in progress before this view consumes any portion of it.Nested pre-scroll events are to nested scroll events what touch intercept is to touch.

dispatchNestedPreScroll

offers an opportunity for the parent view in a nested scrolling operation to consume some or all of the scroll operation before the child view consumes it.Parameters

dx	Horizontal scroll distance in pixels
dy	Vertical scroll distance in pixels
consumed	Output. If not null, consumed[0] will contain the consumed component of dx and consumed[1] the consumed dy.
offsetInWindow	Optional. If not null, on return this will contain the offset in local view coordinates of this view from before this operation to after it completes. View implementations may use this to adjust expected input coordinate tracking.

Returnstrue if the parent consumed some or all of the scroll delta

public boolean dispatchNestedScroll (int dxConsumed, int dyConsumed, int dxUnconsumed, int dyUnconsumed, int[] offsetInWindow)

Dispatch one step of a nested scroll in progress.Implementations of views that support nested scrolling should call this to report info about a scroll in progress to the current nested scrolling parent. If a nested scroll is not currently in progress or nested scrolling is not

enabled

for this view this method does nothing.Compatible View implementations should also call

, int[])]dispatchNestedPreScroll

before consuming a component of the scroll event themselves.Parameters

dxConsumed	Horizontal distance in pixels consumed by this view during this scroll step
dyConsumed	Vertical distance in pixels consumed by this view during this scroll step
dxUnconsumed	Horizontal scroll distance in pixels not consumed by this view
dyUnconsumed	Horizontal scroll distance in pixels not consumed by this view
offsetInWindow	Optional. If not null, on return this will contain the offset in local view coordinates of this view from before this operation to after it completes. View implementations may use this to adjust expected input coordinate tracking.

Returnstrue if the event was dispatched, false if it could not be dispatched.

public void draw (Canvas c)

Manually render this view (and all of its children) to the given Canvas. The view must have already done a full layout before this function is called. When implementing a view, implement

onDraw(android.graphics.Canvas)

instead of overriding this method. If you do need to override this method, call the superclass version.Parameters

c	The Canvas to which the View is rendered.

public boolean drawChild (Canvas canvas, View child, long drawingTime)

Draw one child of this View Group. This method is responsible for getting the canvas in the right state. This includes clipping, translating so that the child's scrolled origin is at 0, 0, and applying any animation transformations.Parameters

public RecyclerView.ViewHolder findViewHolderForAdapterPosition (int position)

Return the ViewHolder for the item in the given position of the data set. Unlike

findViewHolderForLayoutPosition(int)

this method takes into account any pending adapter changes that may not be reflected to the layout yet. On the other hand, if

notifyDataSetChanged()

has been called but the new layout has not been calculated yet, this method will return

null

since the new positions of views are unknown until the layout is calculated.This method checks only the children of RecyclerView. If the item at the given

position

is not laid out, it will not create a new one.Parameters

position	The position of the item in the data set of the adapter

ReturnsThe ViewHolder at

position

or null if there is no such item

public RecyclerView.ViewHolder findViewHolderForItemId (long id)

Return the ViewHolder for the item with the given id. The RecyclerView must use an Adapter with

stableIds

to return a non-null value.This method checks only the children of RecyclerView. If the item with the given

id

is not laid out, it will not create a new one.Parameters

id	The id for the requested item

ReturnsThe ViewHolder with the given

id

or null if there is no such item

public RecyclerView.ViewHolder findViewHolderForLayoutPosition (int position)

Return the ViewHolder for the item in the given position of the data set as of the latest layout pass.This method checks only the children of RecyclerView. If the item at the given

position

is not laid out, it will not create a new one.Note that when Adapter contents change, ViewHolder positions are not updated until the next layout calculation. If there are pending adapter updates, the return value of this method may not match your adapter contents. You can use #

getAdapterPosition()

to get the current adapter position of a ViewHolder.Parameters

position	The position of the item in the data set of the adapter

ReturnsThe ViewHolder at

position

or null if there is no such item

public RecyclerView.ViewHolder findViewHolderForPosition (int position)

This method is deprecated.
use

public int getScrollState ()

Return the current scrolling state of the RecyclerView.Returns

SCROLL_STATE_IDLE

,

public boolean hasFixedSize ()

Returnstrue if the app has specified that changes in adapter content cannot change the size of the RecyclerView itself.

public boolean hasNestedScrollingParent ()

Returns true if this view has a nested scrolling parent.The presence of a nested scrolling parent indicates that this view has initiated a nested scroll and it was accepted by an ancestor view further up the view hierarchy.Returnswhether this view has a nested scrolling parent

public boolean hasPendingAdapterUpdates ()

Returns whether there are pending adapter updates which are not yet applied to the layout.If this method returns

true

, it means that what user is currently seeing may not reflect them adapter contents (depending on what has changed). You may use this information to defer or cancel some operations.This method returns true if RecyclerView has not yet calculated the first layout after it is attached to the Window or the Adapter has been replaced.ReturnsTrue if there are some adapter updates which are not yet reflected to layout or false if layout is up to date.

public void invalidateItemDecorations ()

Invalidates all ItemDecorations. If RecyclerView has item decorations, calling this method will trigger a

.ReturnsTrue if there are some item animations currently running or waiting to be started.

public boolean isAttachedToWindow ()

Returns true if RecyclerView is attached to window.

public boolean isComputingLayout ()

Returns whether RecyclerView is currently computing a layout.If this method returns true, it means that RecyclerView is in a lockdown state and any attempt to update adapter contents will result in an exception because adapter contents cannot be changed while RecyclerView is trying to compute the layout.It is very unlikely that your code will be running during this state as it is called by the framework when a layout traversal happens or RecyclerView starts to scroll in response to system events (touch, accessibility etc).This case may happen if you have some custom logic to change adapter contents in response to a View callback (e.g. focus change callback) which might be triggered during a layout calculation. In these cases, you should just postpone the change using a Handler or a similar mechanism.Returns

true

if RecyclerView is currently computing a layout,

false

otherwise

public boolean isLayoutFrozen ()

Returns true if layout and scroll are frozen.Returnstrue if layout and scroll are frozen
See Also

setLayoutFrozen(boolean)

public boolean isNestedScrollingEnabled ()

public void onChildAttachedToWindow (View child)

Called when an item view is attached to this RecyclerView.Subclasses of RecyclerView may want to perform extra bookkeeping or modifications of child views as they become attached. This will be called before a

RecyclerView.LayoutManager

measures or lays out the view and is a good time to perform these changes.Parameters

child	Child view that is now attached to this RecyclerView and its associated window

public void onChildDetachedFromWindow (View child)

Called when an item view is detached from this RecyclerView.Subclasses of RecyclerView may want to perform extra bookkeeping or modifications of child views as they become detached. This will be called as a

RecyclerView.LayoutManager

fully detaches the child view from the parent and its window.Parameters

child	Child view that is now detached from this RecyclerView and its associated window

public void onDraw (Canvas c)

Implement this to do your drawing.Parameters

c	the canvas on which the background will be drawn

public boolean onGenericMotionEvent (MotionEvent event)

Implement this method to handle generic motion events.Generic motion events describe joystick movements, mouse hovers, track pad touches, scroll wheel movements and other input events. The

source

of the motion event specifies the class of input that was received. Implementations of this method must examine the bits in the source before processing the event. The following code example shows how this is done.Generic motion events with source class

SOURCE_CLASS_POINTER

are delivered to the view under the pointer. All other generic motion events are delivered to the focused view. public boolean onGenericMotionEvent(MotionEvent event) {
if (event.isFromSource(InputDevice.SOURCE_CLASS_JOYSTICK)) {
if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE) {
// process the joystick movement...
return true;
}
}
if (event.isFromSource(InputDevice.SOURCE_CLASS_POINTER)) {
switch (event.getAction()) {
case MotionEvent.ACTION_HOVER_MOVE:
// process the mouse hover movement...
return true;
case MotionEvent.ACTION_SCROLL:
// process the scroll wheel movement...
return true;
}
}
return super.onGenericMotionEvent(event);
}Parameters

event	The generic motion event being processed.

ReturnsTrue if the event was handled, false otherwise.

public boolean onInterceptTouchEvent (MotionEvent e)

Implement this method to intercept all touch screen motion events. This allows you to watch events as they are dispatched to your children, and take ownership of the current gesture at any point.Using this function takes some care, as it has a fairly complicated interaction with

View.onTouchEvent(MotionEvent)

, and using it requires implementing that method as well as this one in the correct way. Events will be received in the following order:You will receive the down event here.
The down event will be handled either by a child of this view group, or given to your own onTouchEvent() method to handle; this means you should implement onTouchEvent() to return true, so you will continue to see the rest of the gesture (instead of looking for a parent view to handle it). Also, by returning true from onTouchEvent(), you will not receive any following events in onInterceptTouchEvent() and all touch processing must happen in onTouchEvent() like normal.
For as long as you return false from this function, each following event (up to and including the final up) will be delivered first here and then to the target's onTouchEvent().
If you return true from here, you will not receive any following events: the target view will receive the same event but with the action

ACTION_CANCEL

, and all further events will be delivered to your onTouchEvent() method and no longer appear here.
Parameters

e	The motion event being dispatched down the hierarchy.

ReturnsReturn true to steal motion events from the children and have them dispatched to this ViewGroup through onTouchEvent(). The current target will receive an ACTION_CANCEL event, and no further messages will be delivered here.

public void onScrollStateChanged (int state)

Called when the scroll state of this RecyclerView changes. Subclasses should use this method to respond to state changes instead of an explicit listener.This method will always be invoked before listeners, but after the LayoutManager responds to the scroll state change.Parameters

state	the new scroll state, one of SCROLL_STATE_IDLE , SCROLL_STATE_DRAGGING or SCROLL_STATE_SETTLING

public void onScrolled (int dx, int dy)

Called when the scroll position of this RecyclerView changes. Subclasses should use this method to respond to scrolling within the adapter's data set instead of an explicit listener.This method will always be invoked before listeners. If a subclass needs to perform any additional upkeep or bookkeeping after scrolling but before listeners run, this is a good place to do so.This differs from

onScrollChanged(int, int, int, int)

in that it receives the distance scrolled in either direction within the adapter's data set instead of absolute scroll coordinates. Since RecyclerView cannot compute the absolute scroll position from any arbitrary point in the data set,

onScrollChanged

will always receive the current

getScrollX()

and

getScrollY()

values which do not correspond to the data set scroll position. However, some subclasses may choose to use these fields as special offsets.Parameters

dx	horizontal distance scrolled in pixels
dy	vertical distance scrolled in pixels

public boolean onTouchEvent (MotionEvent e)

Implement this method to handle touch screen motion events.If this method is used to detect click actions, it is recommended that the actions be performed by implementing and calling

performClick()

. This will ensure consistent system behavior, including:obeying click sound preferences
dispatching OnClickListener calls
handling

ACTION_CLICK

when accessibility features are enabled
Parameters

e	The motion event.

ReturnsTrue if the event was handled, false otherwise.

public boolean requestChildRectangleOnScreen (View child, Rect rect, boolean immediate)

Called when a child of this group wants a particular rectangle to be positioned onto the screen.

ViewGroup

s overriding this can trust that:child will be a direct child of this group

disallowIntercept	True if the child does not want the parent to intercept touch events.

public void requestLayout ()

Call this when something has changed which has invalidated the layout of this view. This will schedule a layout pass of the view tree. This should not be called while the view hierarchy is currently in a layout pass (

isInLayout()

. If layout is happening, the request may be honored at the end of the current layout pass (and then layout will run again) or after the current frame is drawn and the next layout occurs.Subclasses which override this method should call the superclass method to handle possible request-during-layout errors correctly.

public void scrollBy (int x, int y)

Move the scrolled position of your view. This will cause a call to

onScrollChanged(int, int, int, int)

and the view will be invalidated.Parameters

and the view will be invalidated.Parameters

x	the x position to scroll to
y	the y position to scroll to

public void scrollToPosition (int position)

Convenience method to scroll to a certain position. RecyclerView does not implement scrolling logic, rather forwards the call to

scrollToPosition(int)

Parameters

position	Scroll to this adapter position

See Also

scrollToPosition(int)

public void sendAccessibilityEventUnchecked (AccessibilityEvent event)

This method behaves exactly as

sendAccessibilityEvent(int)

but takes as an argument an empty

AccessibilityEvent

and does not perform a check whether accessibility is enabled.If an

View.AccessibilityDelegate

has been specified via calling

setAccessibilityDelegate(AccessibilityDelegate)

its

sendAccessibilityEventUnchecked(View, AccessibilityEvent)

is responsible for handling this call.Parameters

. The parameter will be true if childDrawingOrderCallback is not null, false otherwise.Note that child drawing order may be overridden by View's elevation.Parameters

childDrawingOrderCallback	The ChildDrawingOrderCallback to be used by the drawing system.

public void setClipToPadding (boolean clipToPadding)

Sets whether this ViewGroup will clip its children to its padding and resize (but not clip) any EdgeEffect to the padded region, if padding is present.By default, children are clipped to the padding of their parent ViewGroup. This clipping behavior is only enabled if padding is non-zero.Parameters

clipToPadding	true to clip children to the padding of the group, and resize (but not clip) any EdgeEffect to the padded region. False otherwise.

public void setHasFixedSize (boolean hasFixedSize)

RecyclerView can perform several optimizations if it can know in advance that changes in adapter content cannot change the size of the RecyclerView itself. If your use of RecyclerView falls into this category, set this to true.Parameters

hasFixedSize	true if adapter changes cannot affect the size of the RecyclerView.

public void setItemAnimator (RecyclerView.ItemAnimator animator)

Sets the

RecyclerView.ItemAnimator

that will handle animations involving changes to the items in this RecyclerView. By default, RecyclerView instantiates and uses an instance of

DefaultItemAnimator

. Whether item animations are enabled for the RecyclerView depends on the ItemAnimator and whether the LayoutManager

size	Number of views to cache offscreen before returning them to the general recycled view pool

public void setLayoutFrozen (boolean frozen)

Enable or disable layout and scroll. After

setLayoutFrozen(true)

is called, Layout requests will be postponed until

is called; child views are not updated when RecyclerView is frozen,

smoothScrollBy(int, int)

,

scrollBy(int, int)

,

scrollToPosition(int)

and

smoothScrollToPosition(int)

are dropped; TouchEvents and GenericMotionEvents are dropped;

onFocusSearchFailed(View, int, Recycler, State)

will not be called.

setLayoutFrozen(true)

does not prevent app from directly calling

scrollToPosition(int)

,

smoothScrollToPosition(RecyclerView, State, int)

.

setAdapter(Adapter)

and

swapAdapter(Adapter, boolean)

will automatically stop frozen.Note: Running ItemAnimator is not stopped automatically, it's caller's responsibility to call ItemAnimator.end().Parameters

frozen	true to freeze layout and scroll, false to re-enable.

public void setLayoutManager (RecyclerView.LayoutManager layout)

Set the

RecyclerView.LayoutManager

that this RecyclerView will use.In contrast to other adapter-backed views such as

ListView

. A LayoutManager must be provided for RecyclerView to function.Several default strategies are provided for common uses such as lists and grids.Parameters

layout	LayoutManager to use

public void setNestedScrollingEnabled (boolean enabled)

Enable or disable nested scrolling for this view.If this property is set to true the view will be permitted to initiate nested scrolling operations with a compatible parent view in the current hierarchy. If this view does not implement nested scrolling this will have no effect. Disabling nested scrolling while a nested scroll is in progress has the effect of

stopping

the nested scroll.Parameters

enabled	true to enable nested scrolling, false to disable

public void setOnScrollListener (RecyclerView.OnScrollListener listener)

This method is deprecated.
Use

addOnScrollListener(OnScrollListener)

and

Set a listener that will be notified of any changes in scroll state or position.Parameters

listener	Listener to set or null to clear

public void setRecycledViewPool (RecyclerView.RecycledViewPool pool)

Recycled view pools allow multiple RecyclerViews to share a common pool of scrap views. This can be useful if you have multiple RecyclerViews with adapters that use the same view types, for example if you have several data sets with the same kinds of item views displayed by a

ViewPager

.Parameters

pool	Pool to set. If this parameter is null a new pool will be created and used.

public void setRecyclerListener (RecyclerView.RecyclerListener listener)

Register a listener that will be notified whenever a child view is recycled.This listener will be called when a LayoutManager or the RecyclerView decides that a child view is no longer needed. If an application associates expensive or heavyweight data with item views, this may be a good place to release or free those resources.Parameters

listener	Listener to register, or null to clear

public void setScrollingTouchSlop (int slopConstant)

Configure the scrolling touch slop for a specific use case. Set up the RecyclerView's scrolling motion threshold based on common usages. Valid arguments are

Animate a scroll by the given amount of pixels along either axis.Parameters

dx	Pixels to scroll horizontally
dy	Pixels to scroll vertically

public void smoothScrollToPosition (int position)

Starts a smooth scroll to an adapter position.To support smooth scrolling, you must override

smoothScrollToPosition(RecyclerView, State, int)

and create a

RecyclerView.SmoothScroller

.

RecyclerView.LayoutManager

is responsible for creating the actual scroll action. If you want to provide a custom smooth scroll logic, override

smoothScrollToPosition(RecyclerView, State, int)

in your LayoutManager.Parameters

position	The adapter position to scroll to

See Also

smoothScrollToPosition(RecyclerView, State, int)

public boolean startNestedScroll (int axes)

Begin a nestable scroll operation along the given axes.A view starting a nested scroll promises to abide by the following contract:The view will call startNestedScroll upon initiating a scroll operation. In the case of a touch scroll this corresponds to the initial

ACTION_DOWN

. In the case of touch scrolling the nested scroll will be terminated automatically in the same manner as

requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(boolean)

. In the event of programmatic scrolling the caller must explicitly call

stopNestedScroll()

to indicate the end of the nested scroll.If

startNestedScroll

returns true, a cooperative parent was found. If it returns false the caller may ignore the rest of this contract until the next scroll. Calling startNestedScroll while a nested scroll is already in progress will return true.At each incremental step of the scroll the caller should invoke

, int[])]dispatchNestedPreScroll

once it has calculated the requested scrolling delta. If it returns true the nested scrolling parent at least partially consumed the scroll and the caller should adjust the amount it scrolls by.After applying the remainder of the scroll delta the caller should invoke

)]dispatchNestedScroll

, passing both the delta consumed and the delta unconsumed. A nested scrolling parent may treat these values differently. See

onNestedScroll(View, int, int, int, int)

.Parameters

axes	Flags consisting of a combination of SCROLL_AXIS_HORIZONTAL and/or SCROLL_AXIS_VERTICAL .

Returnstrue if a cooperative parent was found and nested scrolling has been enabled for the current gesture.

public void stopNestedScroll ()

Stop a nested scroll in progress.Calling this method when a nested scroll is not currently in progress is harmless.

public void stopScroll ()

Stop any current scroll in progress, such as one started by

smoothScrollBy(int, int)

,

fling(int, int)

or a touch-initiated fling.

public void swapAdapter (Adapter adapter, boolean removeAndRecycleExistingViews)

Swaps the current adapter with the provided one. It is similar to

setAdapter(Adapter)

but assumes existing adapter and the new adapter uses the same

RecyclerView.ViewHolder

and does not clear the RecycledViewPool.Note that it still calls onAdapterChanged callbacks.Parameters

adapter	The new adapter to set, or null to set no adapter.
removeAndRecycleExistingViews	If set to true, RecyclerView will recycle all existing Views. If adapters have stable ids and/or you want to animate the disappearing views, you may prefer to set this to false.

Returns a set of default layout parameters. These parameters are requested when the View passed to

addView(View)

has no layout parameters already set. If null is returned, an exception is thrown from addView.Returnsa set of default layout parameters or null

protected ViewGroup.LayoutParams generateLayoutParams (ViewGroup.LayoutParams p)

Returns a safe set of layout parameters based on the supplied layout params. When a ViewGroup is passed a View whose layout params do not pass the test of

checkLayoutParams(android.view.ViewGroup.LayoutParams)

, this method is invoked. This method should return a new set of layout params suitable for this ViewGroup, possibly by copying the appropriate attributes from the specified set of layout params.Parameters

p	The layout parameters to convert into a suitable set of layout parameters for this ViewGroup.

Returnsan instance of

ViewGroup.LayoutParams

or one of its descendants

protected int getChildDrawingOrder (int childCount, int i)

Returns the index of the child to draw for this iteration. Override this if you want to change the drawing order of children. By default, it returns i.NOTE: In order for this method to be called, you must enable child ordering first by calling

setChildrenDrawingOrderEnabled(boolean)

.Parameters

i	The current iteration.

ReturnsThe index of the child to draw this iteration.

protected void onAttachedToWindow ()

This is called when the view is attached to a window. At this point it has a Surface and will start drawing. Note that this function is guaranteed to be called before

onDraw(android.graphics.Canvas)

, however it may be called any time before the first onDraw -- including before or after

onMeasure(int, int)

.

protected void onDetachedFromWindow ()

This is called when the view is detached from a window. At this point it no longer has a surface for drawing.

protected void onLayout (boolean changed, int l, int t, int r, int b)

Called from layout when this view should assign a size and position to each of its children. Derived classes with children should override this method and call layout on each of their children.Parameters

changed	This is a new size or position for this view
l	Left position, relative to parent
t	Top position, relative to parent
r	Right position, relative to parent
b	Bottom position, relative to parent

protected void onMeasure (int widthSpec, int heightSpec)

Measure the view and its content to determine the measured width and the measured height. This method is invoked by

measure(int, int)

and should be overridden by subclasses to provide accurate and efficient measurement of their contents.CONTRACT: When overriding this method, you must call

setMeasuredDimension(int, int)

to store the measured width and height of this view. Failure to do so will trigger an

IllegalStateException

, thrown by

measure(int, int)

. Calling the superclass'

onMeasure(int, int)

is a valid use.The base class implementation of measure defaults to the background size, unless a larger size is allowed by the MeasureSpec. Subclasses should override

onMeasure(int, int)

to provide better measurements of their content.If this method is overridden, it is the subclass's responsibility to make sure the measured height and width are at least the view's minimum height and width (

getSuggestedMinimumHeight()

and

getSuggestedMinimumWidth()

).Parameters

widthSpec	horizontal space requirements as imposed by the parent. The requirements are encoded with View.MeasureSpec .
heightSpec	vertical space requirements as imposed by the parent. The requirements are encoded with View.MeasureSpec .

protected void onRestoreInstanceState (Parcelable state)

Hook allowing a view to re-apply a representation of its internal state that had previously been generated by

onSaveInstanceState()

. This function will never be called with a null state.Parameters

state	The frozen state that had previously been returned by onSaveInstanceState() .

protected Parcelable onSaveInstanceState ()

Hook allowing a view to generate a representation of its internal state that can later be used to create a new instance with that same state. This state should only contain information that is not persistent or can not be reconstructed later. For example, you will never store your current position on screen because that will be computed again when a new instance of the view is placed in its view hierarchy.Some examples of things you may store here: the current cursor position in a text view (but usually not the text itself since that is stored in a content provider or other persistent storage), the currently selected item in a list view.ReturnsReturns a Parcelable object containing the view's current dynamic state, or null if there is nothing interesting to save. The default implementation returns null.

protected void onSizeChanged (int w, int h, int oldw, int oldh)

This is called during layout when the size of this view has changed. If you were just added to the view hierarchy, you're called with the old values of 0.Parameters

w	Current width of this view.
h	Current height of this view.
oldw	Old width of this view.
oldh	Old height of this view.

protected void removeDetachedView (View child, boolean animate)

Finishes the removal of a detached view. This method will dispatch the detached from window event and notify the hierarchy change listener.This method is intended to be lightweight and makes no assumptions about whether the parent or child should be redrawn. Proper use of this method will include also making any appropriate

requestLayout()

or

invalidate()

calls. For example, callers can

post

a

Runnable

which performs a

requestLayout()

on the next frame, after all detach/remove calls are finished, causing layout to be run prior to redrawing the view hierarchy.Parameters

child	the child to be definitely removed from the view hierarchy
animate	if true and the view has an animation, the view is placed in the disappearing views list, otherwise, it is detached from the window
