Detect when RecyclerView reaches the bottom most position while scrolling

Question

I have this code for a RecyclerView.

    recyclerView = (RecyclerView)rootview.findViewById(R.id.fabric_recyclerView);
    recyclerView.setLayoutManager(layo         


        

Answer 1

there is also a simple way to do it

recyclerView.addOnScrollListener(new RecyclerView.OnScrollListener() {
    @Override
    public void onScrollStateChanged(RecyclerView recyclerView, int newState) {
        super.onScrollStateChanged(recyclerView, newState);

        if (!recyclerView.canScrollVertically(1)) {
            Toast.makeText(YourActivity.this, "Last", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

        }
    }
});

direction integers: -1 for up, 1 for down, 0 will always return false.

Answer 2

I was not getting a perfect solution by the above answers because it was triggering twice even on onScrolled

override fun onScrolled(recyclerView: RecyclerView, dx: Int, dy: Int) {
            super.onScrolled(recyclerView, dx, dy)
           if( !recyclerView.canScrollVertically(RecyclerView.FOCUS_DOWN))
               context?.toast("Scroll end reached")
        }

Just implement a addOnScrollListener() on your recyclerview. Then inside the scroll listener implement the code below.

RecyclerView.OnScrollListener mScrollListener = new RecyclerView.OnScrollListener() {
        @Override
        public void onScrolled(RecyclerView recyclerView, int dx, int dy) {
            if (mIsLoading)
                return;
            int visibleItemCount = mLayoutManager.getChildCount();
            int totalItemCount = mLayoutManager.getItemCount();
            int pastVisibleItems = mLayoutManager.findFirstVisibleItemPosition();
            if (pastVisibleItems + visibleItemCount >= totalItemCount) {
                //End of list
            }
        }
    };

This is my solution:

    val onScrollListener = object : RecyclerView.OnScrollListener() {

    override fun onScrolled(recyclerView: RecyclerView?, dx: Int, dy: Int) {
        directionDown = dy > 0
    }

    override fun onScrollStateChanged(recyclerView: RecyclerView, newState: Int) {
        if (recyclerView.canScrollVertically(1).not()
                && state != State.UPDATING
                && newState == RecyclerView.SCROLL_STATE_IDLE
                && directionDown) {
               state = State.UPDATING
            // TODO do what you want  when you reach bottom, direction
            // is down and flag for non-duplicate execution
        }
    }
}

Answer 5

After not being satisfied with most the other answers in this thread, I found something I think is better and is not anywhere on here.

recyclerView.addOnScrollListener(new RecyclerView.OnScrollListener() {
    @Override
    public void onScrolled(RecyclerView recyclerView, int dx, int dy) {
        if (!recyclerView.canScrollVertically(1) && dy > 0)
        {
             //scrolled to bottom
        }else if (!recyclerView.canScrollVertically(-1) && dy < 0)
        {
            //scrolled to bottom
        }
    }
});

This is simple and will hit exactly one time under all conditions when you have scrolled to the top or bottom.
