DragSelectRecyclerView

What is it / What does it do?

It's a simple one class TouchListener that can be attached to any RecyclerView and handles multi selection in google photos style via long pressing on an item and moving the finger up/down to select more items (it even scrolls if you reach the edges of the RecyclerView)

Gradle (via JitPack.io)

  1. add jitpack to your project's build.gradle:
repositories {
  maven {
 url "https://jitpack.io" 
}
 
}
  1. add the compile statement to your module's build.gradle:
dependencies {
  compile 'com.github.MFlisar:DragSelectRecyclerView:0.3' 
}

Usage - General

  1. Create the a touch listener like following
mDragSelectTouchListener = new DragSelectTouchListener()  // check region OnDragSelectListener for more infos  .withSelectListener(onDragSelectionListener)  // following is all optional  .withMaxScrollDistance(distance)
 // default: 16;  defines the speed of the auto scrolling  .withTopOffset(toolbarHeight)

 // default: 0;
set an offset for the touch region on top of the RecyclerView  .withBottomOffset(toolbarHeight)
 // default: 0;
set an offset for the touch region on bottom of the RecyclerView  .withScrollAboveTopRegion(enabled)  // default: true;  enable auto scrolling, even if the finger is moved above the top region  .withScrollBelowTopRegion(enabled)  // default: true;  enable auto scrolling, even if the finger is moved below the top region  .withDebug(enabled);

 // default: false;
  1. attach it to the RecyclerView
recyclerView.addOnItemTouchListener(mDragSelectTouchListener);
  1. on item long press, inform the listener so that it can start doing it's magic
// if one item is long pressed, we start the drag selection like following: // we just call this function and pass in the position of the first selected item mDragSelectTouchListener.startDragSelection(position);

Usage - OnDragSelectListener

You have 3 options:

  • use a simple DragSelectTouchListener.OnDragSelectListener => you get notified over which items the user dragged or dragged back

    onDragSelectionListener = new DragSelectTouchListener.OnDragSelectListener() {
    
    @Override
    public void onSelectChange(int start, int end, boolean isSelected) {
    
     // update your selection
     // range is inclusive start/end positions
    
    }
    
     
    }
    
  • use a DragSelectTouchListener.OnAdvancedDragSelectListener => this is an extended version of the DragSelectTouchListener.OnDragSelectListener which will notify you about the start and end of the drag selection as well

     onDragSelectionListener = new DragSelectTouchListener.OnAdvancedDragSelectListener()  {
    
    @Override
    public void onSelectChange(int start, int end, boolean isSelected) {
    
     // update your selection
     // range is inclusive start/end positions
    
    }
    
     @Override
    public void onSelectionStarted(int start) {
    
     // drag selection was started at index start
    
    }
    
     @Override
    public void onSelectionFinished(int end) {
    
     // drag selection was finished at index start
    
    }
      
    }
    ;
  • Preferred option: use the DragSelectionProcessor, it implements the above mentioned interface and can be set up with 4 modes:

    • Simple: simply selects each item you go by and unselects on move back
    • ToggleAndUndo: toggles each items original state, reverts to the original state on move back
    • FirstItemDependent: toggles the first item and applies the same state to each item you go by and applies inverted state on move back
    • FirstItemDependentToggleAndUndo: toggles the item and applies the same state to each item you go by and reverts to the original state on move back

The DragSelectionProcessor will take care to transform each event to the correct select/deselect event that must be handled by you afterwards. Therefore you must provide a ISelectionHandler in it's constructor. Just implement it's 3 simple functions and you're done.

onDragSelectionListener = new DragSelectionProcessor(new DragSelectionProcessor.ISelectionHandler() {
  @Override  public Set<Integer> getSelection() {

// return a set of all currently selected indizes
return selection;  
}

@Override  public boolean isSelected(int index) {

// return the current selection state of the index
return selected;  
}

@Override  public void updateSelection(int start, int end, boolean isSelected, boolean calledFromOnStart) {

// update your selection
// range is inclusive start/end positions
// and the processor has already converted all events according to it'smode  
}
 
}
)  // pass in one of the 4 modes, simple mode is selected by default otherwise  .withMode(DragSelectionProcessor.Mode.FirstItemDependentToggleAndUndo);

A demo can be found here: MainActivity.java

TODO

  • support horizontal RecyclerViews... should be quite simple, but is not yet implemented

AndroidGestureRecognizer is an Android implementation of the Apple's UIGestureRecognizer framework. https://developer.apple.com/reference/uikit/uigesturerecognizer

For more info about the ui gesture recognizers look this WWDC video https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2012/233/

From Apple API reference:

UIGestureRecognizer is an abstract base class for concrete gesture-recognizer classes. A gesture-recognizer object—or, simply, a gesture recognizer—decouples the logic for recognizing a gesture and acting on that recognition. When one of these objects recognizes a common gesture or, in some cases, a change in the gesture, it sends an action message to each designated target object.
