I followed Vilen's excellent answer on SO: Put an indeterminate progressbar as footer in a RecyclerView grid on how to implement an endless scroll recyclerview with ProgressBar.
I implemented it myself and it works but I would like to extend the example. I want to add extra items at the top of the recyclerview, similar to how Facebook does it when you add a new status update.
I was not able to add extra items onto the list successfully - here is my code that I added onto Vilen's code in his MainActivity:
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_main, menu);
return true;
}
@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
int id = item.getItemId();
if (id == R.id.add) {
myDataset.add(0, "Newly added");
mRecyclerView.smoothScrollToPosition(0);
mAdapter.notifyItemInserted(0);
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
When I clicked the "Add" button:
When I scroll down, I get two spinners instead of one:
When the spinners finish and the next 5 items are loaded, the spinner is still there:
What am I doing wrong?
The problem is that when you add new item internal EndlessRecyclerOnScrollListener
doesn't know about it and counters breaking.
As a matter of fact answer with EndlessRecyclerOnScrollListener
has some limitations and possible problems, e.g. if you load 1 item at a time it will not work. So here is an enhanced version.
EndlessRecyclerOnScrollListener
we don't need it anymoreChange your adapter to this which contains scroll listener
public class MyAdapter<T> extends RecyclerView.Adapter<RecyclerView.ViewHolder> {
private final int VIEW_ITEM = 1;
private final int VIEW_PROG = 0;
private List<T> mDataset;
// The minimum amount of items to have below your current scroll position before loading more.
private int visibleThreshold = 2;
private int lastVisibleItem, totalItemCount;
private boolean loading;
private OnLoadMoreListener onLoadMoreListener;
public MyAdapter(List<T> myDataSet, RecyclerView recyclerView) {
mDataset = myDataSet;
if (recyclerView.getLayoutManager() instanceof LinearLayoutManager) {
final LinearLayoutManager linearLayoutManager = (LinearLayoutManager) recyclerView.getLayoutManager();
recyclerView.addOnScrollListener(new RecyclerView.OnScrollListener() {
@Override
public void onScrolled(RecyclerView recyclerView, int dx, int dy) {
super.onScrolled(recyclerView, dx, dy);
totalItemCount = linearLayoutManager.getItemCount();
lastVisibleItem = linearLayoutManager.findLastVisibleItemPosition();
if (!loading && totalItemCount <= (lastVisibleItem + visibleThreshold)) {
// End has been reached
// Do something
if (onLoadMoreListener != null) {
onLoadMoreListener.onLoadMore();
}
loading = true;
}
}
});
}
}
@Override
public int getItemViewType(int position) {
return mDataset.get(position) != null ? VIEW_ITEM : VIEW_PROG;
}
@Override
public RecyclerView.ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
RecyclerView.ViewHolder vh;
if (viewType == VIEW_ITEM) {
View v = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext())
.inflate(android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, parent, false);
vh = new TextViewHolder(v);
} else {
View v = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext())
.inflate(R.layout.progress_item, parent, false);
vh = new ProgressViewHolder(v);
}
return vh;
}
@Override
public void onBindViewHolder(RecyclerView.ViewHolder holder, int position) {
if (holder instanceof TextViewHolder) {
((TextViewHolder) holder).mTextView.setText(mDataset.get(position).toString());
} else {
((ProgressViewHolder) holder).progressBar.setIndeterminate(true);
}
}
public void setLoaded() {
loading = false;
}
@Override
public int getItemCount() {
return mDataset.size();
}
public void setOnLoadMoreListener(OnLoadMoreListener onLoadMoreListener) {
this.onLoadMoreListener = onLoadMoreListener;
}
public interface OnLoadMoreListener {
void onLoadMore();
}
public static class TextViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
public TextView mTextView;
public TextViewHolder(View v) {
super(v);
mTextView = (TextView) v.findViewById(android.R.id.text1);
}
}
public static class ProgressViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
public ProgressBar progressBar;
public ProgressViewHolder(View v) {
super(v);
progressBar = (ProgressBar) v.findViewById(R.id.progressBar);
}
}
}
Change code in Activity class
mAdapter = new MyAdapter<String>(myDataset, mRecyclerView);
mRecyclerView.setAdapter(mAdapter);
mAdapter.setOnLoadMoreListener(new MyAdapter.OnLoadMoreListener() {
@Override
public void onLoadMore() {
//add progress item
myDataset.add(null);
mAdapter.notifyItemInserted(myDataset.size() - 1);
handler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
//remove progress item
myDataset.remove(myDataset.size() - 1);
mAdapter.notifyItemRemoved(myDataset.size());
//add items one by one
for (int i = 0; i < 15; i++) {
myDataset.add("Item" + (myDataset.size() + 1));
mAdapter.notifyItemInserted(myDataset.size());
}
mAdapter.setLoaded();
//or you can add all at once but do not forget to call mAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
}
}, 2000);
System.out.println("load");
}
});
The rest remains unchanged, let me know if this works for you.
