public abstract class RecyclerView.LayoutManager

Known direct subclasses

GridLayoutManager, LinearLayoutManager, StaggeredGridLayoutManager

`GridLayoutManager`	A `RecyclerView.LayoutManager` implementation that lays out items in a grid for leanback `VerticalGridView` and `HorizontalGridView`.
`LinearLayoutManager`	A `RecyclerView.LayoutManager` implementation which provides similar functionality to `android.widget.ListView`.
`StaggeredGridLayoutManager`	A LayoutManager that lays out children in a staggered grid formation.

Known indirect subclasses

GridLayoutManager, WearableLinearLayoutManager

`GridLayoutManager`	A `RecyclerView.LayoutManager` implementations that lays out items in a grid.
`WearableLinearLayoutManager`	This wear-specific implementation of `LinearLayoutManager` provides basic offsetting logic for updating child layout.

A LayoutManager is responsible for measuring and positioning item views within a RecyclerView as well as determining the policy for when to recycle item views that are no longer visible to the user. By changing the LayoutManager a RecyclerView can be used to implement a standard vertically scrolling list, a uniform grid, staggered grids, horizontally scrolling collections and more. Several stock layout managers are provided for general use.

If the LayoutManager specifies a default constructor or one with the signature (Context, AttributeSet, int, int), RecyclerView will instantiate and set the LayoutManager when being inflated. Most used properties can be then obtained from getProperties. In case a LayoutManager specifies both constructors, the non-default constructor will take precedence.

`@NonNull RecyclerView.Recycler recycler`	Recycler to deposit the new scrap view into

detachView

Added in 1.0.0

public void detachView(@NonNull View child)

Temporarily detach a child view.

LayoutManagers may want to perform a lightweight detach operation to rearrange views currently attached to the RecyclerView. Generally LayoutManager implementations will want to use detachAndScrapView so that the detached view may be rebound and reused.

If a LayoutManager uses this method to detach a view, it mustreattach or fully remove the detached view before the LayoutManager entry point method called by RecyclerView returns.

Parameters
`@NonNull View child`	Child to detach

detachViewAt

Added in 1.0.0

public void detachViewAt(int index)

Temporarily detach a child view.

If a LayoutManager uses this method to detach a view, it mustreattach or fully remove the detached view before the LayoutManager entry point method called by RecyclerView returns.

Parameters
`int index`	Index of the child to detach

endAnimation

Added in 1.0.0

public void endAnimation(View view)

Ends all animations on the view created by the ItemAnimator.

Parameters
`View view`	The View for which the animations should be ended.

See also
`endAnimations`

findContainingItemView

Added in 1.0.0

public @Nullable View findContainingItemView(@NonNull View view)

Traverses the ancestors of the given view and returns the item view that contains it and also a direct child of the LayoutManager.

Note that this method may return null if the view is a child of the RecyclerView but not a child of the LayoutManager (e.g. running a disappear animation).

Parameters
`@NonNull View view`	The view that is a descendant of the LayoutManager.

Returns
`@Nullable View`	The direct child of the LayoutManager which contains the given view or null if the provided view is not a descendant of this LayoutManager.

`getChildViewHolder`
`findContainingViewHolder`

findViewByPosition

Added in 1.0.0

public @Nullable View findViewByPosition(int position)

Finds the view which represents the given adapter position.

This method traverses each child since it has no information about child order. Override this method to improve performance if your LayoutManager keeps data about child views.

If a view is ignored via ignoreView, it is also ignored by this method.

Parameters
`int position`	Position of the item in adapter

Returns
`@Nullable View`	The child view that represents the given position or null if the position is not laid out

isAttachedToWindow

Added in 1.0.0

public boolean isAttachedToWindow()

Returns whether LayoutManager is currently attached to a RecyclerView which is attached to a window.

Returns
`boolean`	True if this LayoutManager is controlling a RecyclerView and the RecyclerView is attached to window.

isAutoMeasureEnabled

Added in 1.0.0

public boolean isAutoMeasureEnabled()

Returns whether the measuring pass of layout should use the AutoMeasure mechanism of RecyclerView or if it should be done by the LayoutManager's implementation of onMeasure.

This method returns false by default (it actually returns the value passed to the deprecated setAutoMeasureEnabled) and should be overridden to return true if a LayoutManager wants to be auto measured by the RecyclerView.

If this method is overridden to return true, onMeasure should not be overridden.

AutoMeasure is a RecyclerView mechanism that handles the measuring pass of layout in a simple and contract satisfying way, including the wrapping of children laid out by LayoutManager. Simply put, it handles wrapping children by calling onLayoutChildren during a call to onMeasure, and then calculating desired dimensions based on children's dimensions and positions. It does this while supporting all existing animation capabilities of the RecyclerView.

More specifically:

When onMeasure is called, if the provided measure specs both have a mode of EXACTLY, RecyclerView will set its measured dimensions accordingly and return, allowing layout to continue as normal (Actually, RecyclerView will call onMeasure for backwards compatibility reasons but it should not be overridden if AutoMeasure is being used).
If one of the layout specs is not EXACT, the RecyclerView will start the layout process. It will first process all pending Adapter updates and then decide whether to run a predictive layout. If it decides to do so, it will first call onLayoutChildren with isPreLayout set to true. At this stage, getWidth and getHeight will still return the width and height of the RecyclerView as of the last layout calculation.
After handling the predictive case, RecyclerView will call onLayoutChildren with isMeasuring set to true and isPreLayout set to false. The LayoutManager can access the measurement specs via getHeight, getHeightMode, getWidth and getWidthMode.
After the layout calculation, RecyclerView sets the measured width &height by calculating the bounding box for the children (+ RecyclerView's padding). The LayoutManagers can override setMeasuredDimension to choose different values. For instance, GridLayoutManager overrides this value to handle the case where if it is vertical and has 3 columns but only 2 items, it should still measure its width to fit 3 items, not 2.
Any following calls to onMeasure will run onLayoutChildren with isMeasuring set to true and isPreLayout set to false. RecyclerView will take care of which views are actually added / removed / moved / changed for animations so that the LayoutManager should not worry about them and handle each onLayoutChildren call as if it is the last one.
When measure is complete and RecyclerView's onLayout method is called, RecyclerView checks whether it already did layout calculations during the measure pass and if so, it re-uses that information. It may still decide to call onLayoutChildren if the last measure spec was different from the final dimensions or adapter contents have changed between the measure call and the layout call.
Finally, animations are calculated and run as usual.

Returns
`boolean`	`True` if the measuring pass of layout should use the AutoMeasure mechanism of `RecyclerView` or `False` if it should be done by the LayoutManager's implementation of `onMeasure`.

)

Returns whether the given child view is partially or fully visible within the padded bounded area of RecyclerView, depending on the input parameters. A view is partially visible if it has non-zero overlap with RV's padded bounded area.

Parameters
`@NonNull View child`	The child view to be examined.
`boolean completelyVisible`	If true, the method returns true if and only if the child is completely visible. If false, the method returns true if and only if the child is only partially visible (that is it will return false if the child is either completely visible or out of RV's bounds).
`boolean acceptEndPointInclusion`	If the view's endpoint intersection with RV's start of end bounds is enough to consider it partially visible, false otherwise.

Returns
`boolean`	True if the given child is partially or fully visible, false otherwise.

@CallSuper
public void onAttachedToWindow(RecyclerView view)

Called when this LayoutManager is both attached to a RecyclerView and that RecyclerView is attached to a window.

If the RecyclerView is re-attached with the same LayoutManager and Adapter, it may not call onLayoutChildren if nothing has changed and a layout was not requested on the RecyclerView while it was detached.

Subclass implementations should always call through to the superclass implementation.

Parameters
`RecyclerView view`	The RecyclerView this LayoutManager is bound to

public void onDetachedFromWindow(RecyclerView view)

Added in 1.0.0

@CallSuper
public void onDetachedFromWindow(RecyclerView view, RecyclerView.Recycler recycler)

Called when this LayoutManager is detached from its parent RecyclerView or when its parent RecyclerView is detached from its window.

LayoutManager should clear all of its View references as another LayoutManager might be assigned to the RecyclerView.

If your LayoutManager has View references that it cleans in on-detach, it should also call requestLayout to ensure that it is re-laid out when RecyclerView is re-attached.

Subclass implementations should always call through to the superclass implementation.

Parameters
`RecyclerView view`	The RecyclerView this LayoutManager is bound to
`RecyclerView.Recycler recycler`	The recycler to use if you prefer to recycle your children instead of keeping them around.

public @Nullable View onFocusSearchFailed(
    @NonNull View focused,
    int direction,
    @NonNull RecyclerView.Recycler recycler,
    @NonNull RecyclerView.State state
)

Called when searching for a focusable view in the given direction has failed for the current content of the RecyclerView.

This is the LayoutManager's opportunity to populate views in the given direction to fulfill the request if it can. The LayoutManager should attach and return the view to be focused, if a focusable view in the given direction is found. Otherwise, if all the existing (or the newly populated views) are unfocusable, it returns the next unfocusable view to become visible on the screen. This unfocusable view is typically the first view that's either partially or fully out of RV's padded bounded area in the given direction. The default implementation returns null.

Parameters
`@NonNull View focused`	The currently focused view
`int direction`	One of `FOCUS_UP`, `FOCUS_DOWN`, `FOCUS_LEFT`, `FOCUS_RIGHT`, `FOCUS_BACKWARD`, `FOCUS_FORWARD` or 0 for not applicable
`@NonNull RecyclerView.Recycler recycler`	The recycler to use for obtaining views for currently offscreen items
`@NonNull RecyclerView.State state`	Transient state of RecyclerView

Returns
`@Nullable View`	The chosen view to be focused if a focusable view is found, otherwise an unfocusable view to become visible onto the screen, else null.

onInterceptFocusSearch

Added in 1.0.0

public @Nullable View onInterceptFocusSearch(@NonNull View focused, int direction)

This method gives a LayoutManager an opportunity to intercept the initial focus search before the default behavior of FocusFinder is used. If this method returns null FocusFinder will attempt to find a focusable child view. If it fails then onFocusSearchFailed will be called to give the LayoutManager an opportunity to add new views for items that did not have attached views representing them. The LayoutManager should not add or remove views from this method.

Parameters
`@NonNull View focused`	The currently focused view
`int direction`	One of `FOCUS_UP`, `FOCUS_DOWN`, `FOCUS_LEFT`, `FOCUS_RIGHT`, `FOCUS_BACKWARD`, `FOCUS_FORWARD`

Returns
`@Nullable View`	A descendant view to focus or null to fall back to default behavior. The default implementation returns null.

Added in 1.0.0

public void onItemsAdded(
    @NonNull RecyclerView recyclerView,
    int positionStart,
    int itemCount
)

Called when items have been added to the adapter. The LayoutManager may choose to requestLayout if the inserted items would require refreshing the currently visible set of child views. (e.g. currently empty space would be filled by appended items, etc.)

Added in 1.0.0

public void onItemsChanged(@NonNull RecyclerView recyclerView)

Called in response to a call to notifyDataSetChanged or swapAdapter ()} and signals that the the entire data set has changed.

Added in 1.0.0

    @NonNull RecyclerView recyclerView,
    int from,
    int to,
    int itemCount
)

Called when an item is moved withing the adapter.

Note that, an item may also change position in response to another ADD/REMOVE/MOVE operation. This callback is only called if and only if notifyItemMoved is called.

Added in 1.0.0

public void onItemsRemoved(
    @NonNull RecyclerView recyclerView,
    int positionStart,
    int itemCount
)

Called when items have been removed from the adapter.

Added in 1.0.0

public void onItemsUpdated(
    @NonNull RecyclerView recyclerView,
    int positionStart,
    int itemCount
)

Called when items have been changed in the adapter. To receive payload, override onItemsUpdated instead, then this callback will not be invoked.

Added in 1.0.0

public void onItemsUpdated(
    @NonNull RecyclerView recyclerView,
    int positionStart,
    int itemCount,
    @Nullable Object payload
)

Called when items have been changed in the adapter and with optional payload. Default implementation calls onItemsUpdated.

Added in 1.0.0

public void onLayoutChildren(
    RecyclerView.Recycler recycler,
    RecyclerView.State state
)

Lay out all relevant child views from the given adapter. The LayoutManager is in charge of the behavior of item animations. By default, RecyclerView has a non-null ItemAnimator, and simple item animations are enabled. This means that add/remove operations on the adapter will result in animations to add new or appearing items, removed or disappearing items, and moved items. If a LayoutManager returns false from supportsPredictiveItemAnimations, which is the default, and runs a normal layout operation during onLayoutChildren, the RecyclerView will have enough information to run those animations in a simple way. For example, the default ItemAnimator, DefaultItemAnimator, will simply fade views in and out, whether they are actually added/removed or whether they are moved on or off the screen due to other add/remove operations.

A LayoutManager wanting a better item animation experience, where items can be animated onto and off of the screen according to where the items exist when they are not on screen, then the LayoutManager should return true from supportsPredictiveItemAnimations and add additional logic to onLayoutChildren. Supporting predictive animations means that onLayoutChildren will be called twice; once as a "pre" layout step to determine where items would have been prior to a real layout, and again to do the "real" layout. In the pre-layout phase, items will remember their pre-layout positions to allow them to be laid out appropriately. Also, removed items will be returned from the scrap to help determine correct placement of other items. These removed items should not be added to the child list, but should be used to help calculate correct positioning of other views, including views that were not previously onscreen (referred to as APPEARING views), but whose pre-layout offscreen position can be determined given the extra information about the pre-layout removed views.

The second layout pass is the real layout in which only non-removed views will be used. The only additional requirement during this pass is, if supportsPredictiveItemAnimations returns true, to note which views exist in the child list prior to layout and which are not there after layout (referred to as DISAPPEARING views), and to position/layout those views appropriately, without regard to the actual bounds of the RecyclerView. This allows the animation system to know the location to which to animate these disappearing views.

The default LayoutManager implementations for RecyclerView handle all of these requirements for animations already. Clients of RecyclerView can either use one of these layout managers directly or look at their implementations of onLayoutChildren() to see how they account for the APPEARING and DISAPPEARING views.

Parameters
`RecyclerView.Recycler recycler`	Recycler to use for fetching potentially cached views for a position
`RecyclerView.State state`	Transient state of RecyclerView

Added in 1.0.0

public void onLayoutCompleted(RecyclerView.State state)

Called after a full layout calculation is finished. The layout calculation may include multiple onLayoutChildren calls due to animations or layout measurement but it will include only one onLayoutCompleted call. This method will be called at the end of layout call.

This is a good place for the LayoutManager to do some cleanup like pending scroll position, saved state etc.

Parameters
`RecyclerView.State state`	Transient state of RecyclerView

Added in 1.0.0

public void onMeasure(
    @NonNull RecyclerView.Recycler recycler,
    @NonNull RecyclerView.State state,
    int widthSpec,
    int heightSpec
)

Measure the attached RecyclerView. Implementations must call setMeasuredDimension before returning.

It is strongly advised to use the AutoMeasure mechanism by overriding isAutoMeasureEnabled to return true as AutoMeasure handles all the standard measure cases including when the RecyclerView's layout_width or layout_height have been set to wrap_content. If isAutoMeasureEnabled is overridden to return true, this method should not be overridden.

The default implementation will handle EXACTLY measurements and respect the minimum width and height properties of the host RecyclerView if measured as UNSPECIFIED. AT_MOST measurements will be treated as EXACTLY and the RecyclerView will consume all available space.

Parameters
`@NonNull RecyclerView.Recycler recycler`	Recycler
`@NonNull RecyclerView.State state`	Transient state of RecyclerView
`int widthSpec`	Width `android.view.View.MeasureSpec`
`int heightSpec`	Height `android.view.View.MeasureSpec`

public boolean onRequestChildFocus(
    @NonNull RecyclerView parent,
    @NonNull View child,
    @Nullable View focused
)

Added in 1.0.0

public boolean onRequestChildFocus(
    @NonNull RecyclerView parent,
    @NonNull RecyclerView.State state,
    @NonNull View child,
    @Nullable View focused
)

Called when a descendant view of the RecyclerView requests focus.

A LayoutManager wishing to keep focused views aligned in a specific portion of the view may implement that behavior in an override of this method.

If the LayoutManager executes different behavior that should override the default behavior of scrolling the focused child on screen instead of running alongside it, this method should return true.

Parameters
`@NonNull RecyclerView parent`	The RecyclerView hosting this LayoutManager
`@NonNull RecyclerView.State state`	Current state of RecyclerView
`@NonNull View child`	Direct child of the RecyclerView containing the newly focused view
`@Nullable View focused`	The newly focused view. This may be the same view as child or it may be null

Returns
`boolean`	true if the default scroll behavior should be suppressed

onRestoreInstanceState

Added in 1.0.0

public void onRestoreInstanceState(Parcelable state)

Called when the RecyclerView is ready to restore the state based on a previous RecyclerView. Notice that this might happen after an actual layout, based on how Adapter prefers to restore State. See getStateRestorationPolicy for more information.

Parameters
`Parcelable state`	The parcelable that was returned by the previous LayoutManager's `onSaveInstanceState` method.

onSaveInstanceState

Added in 1.0.0

public @Nullable Parcelable onSaveInstanceState()

Called when the LayoutManager should save its state. This is a good time to save your scroll position, configuration and anything else that may be required to restore the same layout state if the LayoutManager is recreated.

RecyclerView does NOT verify if the LayoutManager has changed between state save and restore. This will let you share information between your LayoutManagers but it is also your responsibility to make sure they use the same parcelable class.

Returns
`@Nullable Parcelable`	Necessary information for LayoutManager to be able to restore its state

onScrollStateChanged

Added in 1.0.0

public void onScrollStateChanged(int state)

requestLayout

Added in 1.0.0

public void requestLayout()

Calls RecyclerView#requestLayout on the underlying RecyclerView

requestSimpleAnimationsInNextLayout

Added in 1.0.0

public void requestSimpleAnimationsInNextLayout()

A LayoutManager can call this method to force RecyclerView to run simple animations in the next layout pass, even if there is not any trigger to do so. (e.g. adapter data change).

Note that, calling this method will not guarantee that RecyclerView will run animations at all. For example, if there is not any ItemAnimator set, RecyclerView will not run any animations but will still clear this flag after the layout is complete.

Added in 1.0.0

public int scrollHorizontallyBy(
    int dx,
    RecyclerView.Recycler recycler,
    RecyclerView.State state
)

Scroll horizontally by dx pixels in screen coordinates and return the distance traveled. The default implementation does nothing and returns 0.

Parameters
`int dx`	distance to scroll by in pixels. X increases as scroll position approaches the right.
`RecyclerView.Recycler recycler`	Recycler to use for fetching potentially cached views for a position
`RecyclerView.State state`	Transient state of RecyclerView

Returns
`int`	The actual distance scrolled. The return value will be negative if dx was negative and scrolling proceeeded in that direction. `Math.abs(result)` may be less than dx if a boundary was reached.

scrollToPosition

Added in 1.0.0

public void scrollToPosition(int position)

Scroll to the specified adapter position. Actual position of the item on the screen depends on the LayoutManager implementation.

Parameters
`int position`	Scroll to this adapter position.

Added in 1.0.0

public int scrollVerticallyBy(
    int dy,
    RecyclerView.Recycler recycler,
    RecyclerView.State state
)

Scroll vertically by dy pixels in screen coordinates and return the distance traveled. The default implementation does nothing and returns 0.

Parameters
`int dy`	distance to scroll in pixels. Y increases as scroll position approaches the bottom.
`RecyclerView.Recycler recycler`	Recycler to use for fetching potentially cached views for a position
`RecyclerView.State state`	Transient state of RecyclerView

Returns
`int`	The actual distance scrolled. The return value will be negative if dy was negative and scrolling proceeeded in that direction. `Math.abs(result)` may be less than dy if a boundary was reached.

setAutoMeasureEnabled

Added in 1.0.0

Deprecated in 1.0.0

public void setAutoMeasureEnabled(boolean enabled)

Defines whether the measuring pass of layout should use the AutoMeasure mechanism of RecyclerView or if it should be done by the LayoutManager's implementation of onMeasure.

Parameters
`boolean enabled`	`True` if layout measurement should be done by the RecyclerView, `false` if it should be done by this LayoutManager.

See also
`isAutoMeasureEnabled`

setItemPrefetchEnabled

Added in 1.0.0

public final void setItemPrefetchEnabled(boolean enabled)

Sets whether the LayoutManager should be queried for views outside of its viewport while the UI thread is idle between frames.

If enabled, the LayoutManager will be queried for items to inflate/bind in between view system traversals on devices running API 21 or greater. Default value is true.

On platforms API level 21 and higher, the UI thread is idle between passing a frame to RenderThread and the starting up its next frame at the next VSync pulse. By prefetching out of window views in this time period, delays from inflation and view binding are much less likely to cause jank and stuttering during scrolls and flings.

While prefetch is enabled, it will have the side effect of expanding the effective size of the View cache to hold prefetched views.

Parameters
`boolean enabled`	`True` if items should be prefetched in between traversals.

See also
`isItemPrefetchEnabled`

setMeasuredDimension

Added in 1.0.0

public void setMeasuredDimension(int widthSize, int heightSize)

Set the measured dimensions of the host RecyclerView.

Parameters
`int widthSize`	Measured width
`int heightSize`	Measured height

setMeasuredDimension

Added in 1.0.0

public void setMeasuredDimension(Rect childrenBounds, int wSpec, int hSpec)

Sets the measured dimensions from the given bounding box of the children and the measurement specs that were passed into onMeasure. It is only called if a LayoutManager returns true from isAutoMeasureEnabled and it is called after the RecyclerView calls onLayoutChildren in the execution of onMeasure.

This method must call setMeasuredDimension.

The default implementation adds the RecyclerView's padding to the given bounding box then caps the value to be within the given measurement specs.

Parameters
`Rect childrenBounds`	The bounding box of all children
`int wSpec`	The widthMeasureSpec that was passed into the RecyclerView.
`int hSpec`	The heightMeasureSpec that was passed into the RecyclerView.

See also
`isAutoMeasureEnabled`
`setMeasuredDimension`

setMeasurementCacheEnabled

Added in 1.0.0

public void setMeasurementCacheEnabled(boolean measurementCacheEnabled)

Sets whether RecyclerView should use its own measurement cache for the children. This is a more aggressive cache than the framework uses.

Parameters
`boolean measurementCacheEnabled`	True to enable the measurement cache, false otherwise.

See also
`isMeasurementCacheEnabled`

Added in 1.0.0

public void smoothScrollToPosition(
    RecyclerView recyclerView,
    RecyclerView.State state,
    int position
)

Smooth scroll to the specified adapter position.

To support smooth scrolling, override this method, create your SmoothScroller instance and call startSmoothScroll.

Parameters
`RecyclerView recyclerView`	The RecyclerView to which this layout manager is attached
`RecyclerView.State state`	Current State of RecyclerView
`int position`	Scroll to this adapter position.

Added in 1.0.0

public void startSmoothScroll(RecyclerView.SmoothScroller smoothScroller)

Starts a smooth scroll using the provided SmoothScroller.

Each instance of SmoothScroller is intended to only be used once. Provide a new SmoothScroller instance each time this method is called.

Calling this method will cancel any previous smooth scroll request.

Parameters
`RecyclerView.SmoothScroller smoothScroller`	Instance which defines how smooth scroll should be animated

stopIgnoringView

Added in 1.0.0

public void stopIgnoringView(@NonNull View view)

View can be scrapped and recycled again.

Note that calling this method removes all information in the view holder.

You can call this method only if your LayoutManger is in onLayout or onScroll callback.

Parameters
`@NonNull View view`	View to ignore.

supportsPredictiveItemAnimations

Added in 1.0.0

public boolean supportsPredictiveItemAnimations()

Returns whether this LayoutManager supports "predictive item animations".

"Predictive item animations" are automatically created animations that show where items came from, and where they are going to, as items are added, removed, or moved within a layout.

A LayoutManager wishing to support predictive item animations must override this method to return true (the default implementation returns false) and must obey certain behavioral contracts outlined in onLayoutChildren.

Whether item animations actually occur in a RecyclerView is actually determined by both the return value from this method and the ItemAnimator set on the RecyclerView itself. If the RecyclerView has a non-null ItemAnimator but this method returns false, then only "simple item animations" will be enabled in the RecyclerView, in which views whose position are changing are simply faded in/out. If the RecyclerView has a non-null ItemAnimator and this method returns true, then predictive item animations will be enabled in the RecyclerView.

Returns
`boolean`	true if this LayoutManager supports predictive item animations, false otherwise.
