Motivation

For a long time I couldn't find the right implementation of the infinite scroll AKA endless scroll for Android. A few solutions I've found weren't production ready, weren't working correctly or had too many features. I wanted to have small, easy and flexible solution to implement infinite scroll for Android, which works with RecyclerView from the newest Android API. That's why this project was created. If you want to read more, check out an article about this project on my blog.

Examples

Sample app can be found in app directory.

Below, you can see an animation presenting, how sample application works.

Moreover, you can see examplary usage of this library in SearchTwitter app.

Usage

Create necessary fields in your Activity:

public RecyclerView recyclerView; private LinearLayoutManager layoutManager;

Create new InfiniteScrollListener:

private InfiniteScrollListener createInfiniteScrollListener() {

return new InfiniteScrollListener(maxItemsPerRequest, layoutManager) {

  @Override public void onScrolledToEnd(final int firstVisibleItemPosition) {

 // load your items here

 // logic of loading items will be different depending on your specific use case

  // when new items are loaded, combine old and new items, pass them to your adapter

 // and call refreshView(...) method from InfiniteScrollListener class to refresh RecyclerView

 refreshView(recyclerView, new MyAdapter(items), firstVisibleItemPosition);

  
}

}
 
}

Initialize RecyclerView and LinearLayoutManager in your Activity:

@Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

recyclerView = (RecyclerView) findViewById(R.id.recycler_view);

 layoutManager = new LinearLayoutManager(this);

recyclerView.setHasFixedSize(true);

recyclerView.setLayoutManager(layoutManager);

// set your custom adapter
recyclerView.setAdapter(new MyAdapter(items));

// add InfiniteScrollListener as OnScrollListener
recyclerView.addOnScrollListener(createInfiniteScrollListener());
 
}

If you want to display loading progress, you should add additional view for it, show it while loading starts and hide it when loading is finished. Check exemplary app in this repository to see concrete solution.

That's it!
