Drag Select Recycler View

This library allows you to implement Google Photos style multi-selection in your apps! You start by long pressing an item in your list, then you drag your finger without letting go to select more.

Sample

You can download a sample APK or view it on Google Play!


Gradle Dependency

The Gradle dependency is available via jCenter. jCenter is the default Maven repository used by Android Studio.

Dependency

Add the following to your module's build.gradle file:

dependencies {

  // ... other dependencies
  compile 'com.afollestad:drag-select-recyclerview:1.0.0' 
}

Introduction

DragSelectRecyclerView is the main classes of this library.

This library will handle drag interception and auto scroll logic - if you drag to the top of the RecyclerView, the list will scroll up, and vice versa.


DragSelectRecyclerView

DragSelectRecyclerView replaces the regular RecyclerView in your layouts. It intercepts touch events when you tell if selection mode is active, and automatically reports to your adapter.

<com.afollestad.dragselectrecyclerview.DragSelectRecyclerView

android:id="@+id/list"

android:layout_width="match_parent"

android:layout_height="match_parent"

android:scrollbars="vertical" />

Setup is basically the same as it would be for a regular RecyclerView. You just set a LayoutManager and RecyclerView.Adapter to it:

DragSelectRecyclerView list = (DragSelectRecyclerView) findViewById(R.id.list);
 list.setLayoutManager(new GridLayoutManager(this, 3));
 list.setAdapter(adapter);

Adapter Implementation

You use regular RecyclerView.Adapter's with the DragSelectRecyclerView. However, it has to implement the IDragSelectAdapter interface:

public class MainAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<MainAdapter.MainViewHolder>

 implements IDragSelectAdapter {

 @Override
public void setSelected(int index, boolean selected) {

  // 1. Make this index as selected in your implementation.
  // 2. Tell the RecyclerView.Adapter to render this item's changes.
  notifyItemChanged(index);

}

@Override
public boolean isIndexSelectable(int index) {

  // Return false if you don't want this position to be selectable.
  // Useful for items like section headers.
  return true;

}

  // The rest of your regular adapter overrides 
}

Checkout the sample project for an in-depth example.


User Activation, Initializing Drag Selection

The library won't start selection mode unless you tell it to. You want the user to be able to active it. The click listener implementation setup in the adapter above will help with this.

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements

 MainAdapter.ClickListener, DragSelectRecyclerViewAdapter.SelectionListener {

 private DragSelectRecyclerView listView;
private MainAdapter adapter;
 @Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

  super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

  setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

// Setup adapter and callbacks
  adapter = new MainAdapter(this);

// Setup the recycler view
  listView = (DragSelectRecyclerView) findViewById(R.id.list);

  listView.setLayoutManager(

new GridLayoutManager(this,

  getResources().getInteger(R.integer.grid_width)));

  listView.setAdapter(adapter);

}

 /**  
* See the adapter in the sample project for a click listener implementation. Click listeners  
* aren't provided by this library. 
*/
@Override
public void onClick(int index) {

  // Single click will select or deselect an item
  adapter.toggleSelected(index);

}

 /**  
* See the adapter in the sample project for a click listener implementation. Click listeners  
* aren't provided by this library. 
*/
@Override
public void onLongClick(int index) {

  // Initialize drag selection -- also selects the initial item
  listView.setDragSelectActive(true, index);

}
 
}

Auto Scroll

By default, this library will auto scroll. During drag selection, moving your finger to the top of the list will scroll up. Moving your finger to the bottom of the list will scroll down.

At the start of the activation point at the top or bottom, the list will scroll slowly. The further you move into the activation area, the faster it will scroll.

You can disable auto scroll, or change the activation hotspot from your layout XML:

<com.afollestad.dragselectrecyclerview.DragSelectRecyclerView
  android:id="@+id/list"
  android:layout_width="match_parent"
  android:layout_height="match_parent"
  android:scrollbars="vertical"
  app:dsrv_autoScrollEnabled="true"
  app:dsrv_autoScrollHotspotHeight="56dp" />

56dp is the default hotspot height, you can raise or lower it if necessary. Smaller hotspots will scroll quickly since there's not much room for velocity change.

Resources

  • Now you do not need to implement adapters for RecyclerView;
  • You can easily use several types of cells in a single list;
  • You can reuse cells in different RecyclerView;
  • You can easily add a nested RecyclerView;
  • You can easily add the DiffUtil support;
  • You can easily save a state of a Item when scroll;
  • You can easily add a Load More Indicator;
  • Using this library will help you to follow SOLID principles.
