How to implement setOnScrollListener in RecyclerView

To implement OnScrollListener in Kotlin for RecyclerView, you can use

recyclerViewChat.addOnScrollListener(object : RecyclerView.OnScrollListener() {

            override fun onScrollStateChanged(recyclerView: RecyclerView, newState: Int) {
                super.onScrollStateChanged(recyclerView, newState)
                if (newState == RecyclerView.SCROLL_STATE_IDLE) {
                    Log.d("scroll", "idle")
                } else if (newState == RecyclerView.SCROLL_STATE_SETTLING) {
                    Log.d("scroll", "settling")
                } else if (newState == RecyclerView.SCROLL_STATE_DRAGGING) {
                    Log.d("scroll", "dragging")
                }
            }

            override fun onScrolled(recyclerView: RecyclerView, dx: Int, dy: Int) {
                super.onScrolled(recyclerView, dx, dy)
                Log.d("scroll", "scrolling")
            }
        })

Activity Class with recylcerview in xml layout file

public class WallpaperActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements OnTaskCompleted {


private static final String TAG = "WallpaperActivity";


private Toolbar toolbar;


private RecyclerView mRecyclerView;
private WallPaperDataAdapter mAdapter;
private LinearLayoutManager mLayoutManager;
// to keep track which pages loaded and next pages to load

@Override

    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.wallpaper_main);

    mRecyclerView = (RecyclerView) findViewById(R.id.my_recycler_view);
    pageNumber = 1;
    wallpaperImagesList = new ArrayList<WallPaper>();
    handler = new Handler();
    if (toolbar != null) {
        setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
        getSupportActionBar().setTitle("WallPapers");

    }


    // use this setting to improve performance if you know that changes
    // in content do not change the layout size of the RecyclerView
    mRecyclerView.setHasFixedSize(true);


    mLayoutManager = new LinearLayoutManager(this);


    // use a linear layout manager
    mRecyclerView.setLayoutManager(mLayoutManager);

    getWebServiceData();


    mAdapter.setOnLoadMoreListener(new OnLoadMoreListener() {
        @Override
        public void onLoadMore() {
            //add null , so the adapter will check view_type and show progress bar at bottom
            wallpaperImagesList.add(null);
            mAdapter.notifyItemInserted(wallpaperImagesList.size() - 1);
            ++pageNumber;


            getWebServiceData();


        }
    });

                JSONObject c = jsonArray.getJSONObject(i);

                    }

            }

        }

        return response;

    }


}

Interface for Load More

public interface OnLoadMoreListener {
     void onLoadMore();
}

Interface to know web service data loaded from asynctask

public interface OnTaskCompleted{

    void onTaskCompleted(String response);
}

Please let me know if this works or any issues for you. Better to use Volley or okHttp Libraries for Networking.

For ImageLoading i used Glide Library.


This is how I detect whether RecyclerView should refresh by OnScrollListener, take a look at it:

recyclerView.setOnScrollListener(new RecyclerView.OnScrollListener() {
    int ydy = 0;
    @Override
    public void onScrollStateChanged(RecyclerView recyclerView, int newState) {
        super.onScrollStateChanged(recyclerView, newState);

    }

    @Override
    public void onScrolled(RecyclerView recyclerView, int dx, int dy) {
        super.onScrolled(recyclerView, dx, dy);
        int offset = dy - ydy;
        ydy = dy;
        boolean shouldRefresh = (linearLayoutManager.findFirstCompletelyVisibleItemPosition() == 0)
                && (recyclerView.getScrollState() == RecyclerView.SCROLL_STATE_DRAGGING) && offset > 30;
        if (shouldRefresh) {
            //swipeRefreshLayout.setRefreshing(true);
            //Refresh to load data here.
            return;
        }
        boolean shouldPullUpRefresh = linearLayoutManager.findLastCompletelyVisibleItemPosition() == linearLayoutManager.getChildCount() - 1
                && recyclerView.getScrollState() == RecyclerView.SCROLL_STATE_DRAGGING && offset < -30;
        if (shouldPullUpRefresh) {
            //swipeRefreshLayout.setRefreshing(true);
            //refresh to load data here.
            return;
        }
        swipeRefreshLayout.setRefreshing(false);
    }
});

Hope you'll be inspired. Good luck~
