Take a screenshot of RecyclerView in FULL length
Inspired from Yoav's answer. This code works for recyclerview item types and probably regardless of it's size.
It was tested with a recyclerview having linearlayout manager and three item types. Yet to check it with other layout managers.
public Bitmap getScreenshotFromRecyclerView(RecyclerView view) {
RecyclerView.Adapter adapter = view.getAdapter();
Bitmap bigBitmap = null;
if (adapter != null) {
int size = adapter.getItemCount();
int height = 0;
Paint paint = new Paint();
int iHeight = 0;
final int maxMemory = (int) (Runtime.getRuntime().maxMemory() / 1024);
// Use 1/8th of the available memory for this memory cache.
final int cacheSize = maxMemory / 8;
LruCache<String, Bitmap> bitmaCache = new LruCache<>(cacheSize);
for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) {
RecyclerView.ViewHolder holder = adapter.createViewHolder(view, adapter.getItemViewType(i));
adapter.onBindViewHolder(holder, i);
holder.itemView.measure(View.MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(view.getWidth(), View.MeasureSpec.EXACTLY),
View.MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(0, View.MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED));
holder.itemView.layout(0, 0, holder.itemView.getMeasuredWidth(), holder.itemView.getMeasuredHeight());
holder.itemView.setDrawingCacheEnabled(true);
holder.itemView.buildDrawingCache();
Bitmap drawingCache = holder.itemView.getDrawingCache();
if (drawingCache != null) {
bitmaCache.put(String.valueOf(i), drawingCache);
}
// holder.itemView.setDrawingCacheEnabled(false);
// holder.itemView.destroyDrawingCache();
height += holder.itemView.getMeasuredHeight();
}
bigBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(view.getMeasuredWidth(), height, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
Canvas bigCanvas = new Canvas(bigBitmap);
bigCanvas.drawColor(Color.WHITE);
for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) {
Bitmap bitmap = bitmaCache.get(String.valueOf(i));
bigCanvas.drawBitmap(bitmap, 0f, iHeight, paint);
iHeight += bitmap.getHeight();
bitmap.recycle();
}
}
return bigBitmap;
}
Here is my solution for LinearLayoutManager
when all the items are on same size and there is only one type of item. This solution is based on This answer.
Note: It can possibly lead to out of memory error.
public static Bitmap getRecyclerViewScreenshot(RecyclerView view) {
int size = view.getAdapter().getItemCount();
RecyclerView.ViewHolder holder = view.getAdapter().createViewHolder(view, 0);
view.getAdapter().onBindViewHolder(holder, 0);
holder.itemView.measure(View.MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(view.getWidth(), View.MeasureSpec.EXACTLY),
View.MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(0, View.MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED));
holder.itemView.layout(0, 0, holder.itemView.getMeasuredWidth(), holder.itemView.getMeasuredHeight());
Bitmap bigBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(view.getMeasuredWidth(), holder.itemView.getMeasuredHeight() * size,
Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
Canvas bigCanvas = new Canvas(bigBitmap);
bigCanvas.drawColor(Color.WHITE);
Paint paint = new Paint();
int iHeight = 0;
holder.itemView.setDrawingCacheEnabled(true);
holder.itemView.buildDrawingCache();
bigCanvas.drawBitmap(holder.itemView.getDrawingCache(), 0f, iHeight, paint);
holder.itemView.setDrawingCacheEnabled(false);
holder.itemView.destroyDrawingCache();
iHeight += holder.itemView.getMeasuredHeight();
for (int i = 1; i < size; i++) {
view.getAdapter().onBindViewHolder(holder, i);
holder.itemView.setDrawingCacheEnabled(true);
holder.itemView.buildDrawingCache();
bigCanvas.drawBitmap(holder.itemView.getDrawingCache(), 0f, iHeight, paint);
iHeight += holder.itemView.getMeasuredHeight();
holder.itemView.setDrawingCacheEnabled(false);
holder.itemView.destroyDrawingCache();
}
return bigBitmap;
}
Note 2: It has originally been written in Kotlin. Here is the original code used by me.
