Inserting RecyclerView items at zero position - always stay scrolled to top

Question

I have a pretty standard RecyclerView with a vertical LinearLayoutManager. I keep inserting new items at the top and I\'m calling notifyItemI

Answer 1

This worked for me:

val atTop = !recycler.canScrollVertically(-1)

adapter.addToFront(item)
adapter.notifyItemInserted(0)

if (atTop) {
    recycler.scrollToPosition(0)
}
