You could try something like this:

totalItemCount = linearLayoutManager.getItemCount();
firstVisibleItem = linearLayoutManager.findFirstCompletelyVisibleItemPosition()
lastVisibleItem = linearLayoutManager.findLastCompletelyVisibleItemPosition();

if(firstVisibleItem == 0 && lastVisibleItem -1 == totalItemCount){
