): Unit

Gather all positions from the LayoutManager to be prefetched, given specified momentum.

If item prefetch is enabled, this method is called in between traversals to gather which positions the LayoutManager will soon need, given upcoming movement in subsequent traversals.

The LayoutManager should call addPosition for each item to be prepared, and these positions will have their ViewHolders created and bound, if there is sufficient time available, in advance of being needed by a scroll or layout.

Parameters
dx: Int

X movement component.

dy: Int

Y movement component.

state: RecyclerView.State

State of RecyclerView

This method is only called when a RecyclerView is nested in another RecyclerView.

If item prefetch is enabled for this LayoutManager, as well in another containing LayoutManager, this method is called in between draw traversals to gather which positions this LayoutManager will first need, once it appears on the screen.

For example, if this LayoutManager represents a horizontally scrolling list within a vertically scrolling LayoutManager, this method would be called when the horizontal list is about to come onscreen.

The LayoutManager should call addPosition for each item to be prepared, and these positions will have their ViewHolders created and bound, if there is sufficient time available, in advance of being needed by a scroll or layout.

onItemsChanged

fun onItemsChanged(recyclerView: RecyclerView): Unit

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

onItemsUpdated

fun onItemsUpdated(
    recyclerView: RecyclerView,
    positionStart: Int,
    itemCount: Int
): Unit

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

onLayoutChildren

fun onLayoutChildren(
    recycler: RecyclerView.Recycler,
    state: RecyclerView.State
): Unit

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
recycler: RecyclerView.Recycler

Recycler to use for fetching potentially cached views for a position

state: RecyclerView.State

Transient state of RecyclerView

onLayoutCompleted

fun onLayoutCompleted(state: RecyclerView.State): Unit

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
state: RecyclerView.State

Transient state of RecyclerView

onMeasure

fun onMeasure(
    recycler: RecyclerView.Recycler,
    state: RecyclerView.State,
    widthSpec: Int,
    heightSpec: Int
): Unit

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
recycler: RecyclerView.Recycler

Recycler

state: RecyclerView.State

Transient state of RecyclerView

widthSpec: Int

Width android.view.View.MeasureSpec

heightSpec: Int

Height android.view.View.MeasureSpec

onRequestChildFocus

fun onRequestChildFocus(
    parent: RecyclerView,
    state: RecyclerView.State,
    child: View,
    focused: View?
): Boolean

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
parent: RecyclerView

The RecyclerView hosting this LayoutManager

state: RecyclerView.State

Current state of RecyclerView

child: View

Direct child of the RecyclerView containing the newly focused view

focused: View?

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

fun onRestoreInstanceState(state: Parcelable?): Unit

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
state: Parcelable?

The parcelable that was returned by the previous LayoutManager's onSaveInstanceState method.

onSaveInstanceState

fun onSaveInstanceState(): Parcelable

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
Parcelable

Necessary information for LayoutManager to be able to restore its state

performAccessibilityAction

fun performAccessibilityAction(
    recycler: RecyclerView.Recycler,
    state: RecyclerView.State,
    action: Int,
    args: Bundle?
): Boolean

Called by AccessibilityDelegate when an action is requested from the RecyclerView.

Parameters
recycler: RecyclerView.Recycler

The Recycler that can be used to convert view positions into adapter positions

state: RecyclerView.State

The current state of RecyclerView

action: Int

The action to perform

args: Bundle?

Optional action arguments

removeAndRecycleAllViews

fun removeAndRecycleAllViews(recycler: RecyclerView.Recycler): Unit

Removes all views and recycles them using the given recycler.

If you want to clean cached views as well, you should call clear too.

If a View is marked as "ignored", it is not removed nor recycled.

Parameters
recycler: RecyclerView.Recycler

Recycler to use to recycle children

requestChildRectangleOnScreen

fun requestChildRectangleOnScreen(
    parent: RecyclerView,
    child: View,
    rect: Rect,
    immediate: Boolean
): Boolean

Called when a child of the RecyclerView wants a particular rectangle to be positioned onto the screen. See requestChildRectangleOnScreen for more details.

The base implementation will attempt to perform a standard programmatic scroll to bring the given rect into view, within the padded area of the RecyclerView.

Parameters
parent: RecyclerView

The parent RecyclerView.

child: View

The direct child making the request.

rect: Rect

The rectangle in the child's coordinates the child wishes to be on the screen.

immediate: Boolean

True to forbid animated or delayed scrolling, false otherwise

Returns
Boolean

Whether the group scrolled to handle the operation

scrollHorizontallyBy

fun scrollHorizontallyBy(
    dx: Int,
    recycler: RecyclerView.Recycler,
    state: RecyclerView.State
): Int

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

Parameters
dx: Int

distance to scroll by in pixels. X increases as scroll position approaches the right.

recycler: RecyclerView.Recycler

Recycler to use for fetching potentially cached views for a position

state: RecyclerView.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

fun scrollToPosition(position: Int): Unit

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

Parameters
position: Int

Scroll to this adapter position.

scrollVerticallyBy

fun scrollVerticallyBy(
    dy: Int,
    recycler: RecyclerView.Recycler,
    state: RecyclerView.State
): Int

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

Parameters
dy: Int

distance to scroll in pixels. Y increases as scroll position approaches the bottom.

recycler: RecyclerView.Recycler

Recycler to use for fetching potentially cached views for a position

state: RecyclerView.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.

setFocusOutAllowed

Added in 1.0.0-alpha03
fun setFocusOutAllowed(throughFront: Boolean, throughBack: Boolean): Unit

Sets whether focus can move out from the front and/or back of the grid view.

Parameters
throughFront: Boolean

For the vertical orientation, this controls whether focus can move out from the top of the grid. For the horizontal orientation, this controls whether focus can move out the front side of the grid.

throughBack: Boolean

For the vertical orientation, this controls whether focus can move out from the bottom of the grid. For the horizontal orientation, this controls whether focus can move out the back side of the grid.

setOrientation

Added in 1.0.0-alpha03
fun setOrientation(orientation: Int): Unit

Sets grid view orientation.

smoothScrollToPosition

fun smoothScrollToPosition(
    recyclerView: RecyclerView,
    state: RecyclerView.State,
    position: Int
): Unit

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

state: RecyclerView.State

Current State of RecyclerView

position: Int

Scroll to this adapter position.

startSmoothScroll

fun startSmoothScroll(smoothScroller: RecyclerView.SmoothScroller): Unit

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
smoothScroller: RecyclerView.SmoothScroller

Instance which defines how smooth scroll should be animated

supportsPredictiveItemAnimations

fun supportsPredictiveItemAnimations(): Boolean

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.
