Recyclerview not scrolling to end when keyboard opens

Question

I am using recylerview in my application and whenever new element is added to recyclerview, it scrolls to last element by using

recyclerView.scrollToPosition         


        

Answer 1

        recyclerView.smoothScrollToPosition(recyclerView.getAdapter().getItemCount());

Answer 2

layoutManager.scrollToPositionWithOffset(chatMessageAdapter.getItemCount() - 1, 0);

Answer 3

Although this an old question, I experienced this problem today and I found out that none of of the above method works. This is my solution

    recyclerView.addOnLayoutChangeListener(new View.OnLayoutChangeListener() {
        @Override
        public void onLayoutChange(View v,
                                   int left, int top, int right, int bottom,
                                   int oldLeft, int oldTop, int oldRight, int oldBottom) {
            if (bottom < oldBottom) {
                final int lastAdapterItem = mAdapter.getItemCount() - 1;
                recyclerView.post(new Runnable() {
                  @Override
                  public void run() {
                    int recyclerViewPositionOffset = -1000000;
                    View bottomView = linearLayoutManager.findViewByPosition(lastAdapterItem);
                    if (bottomView != null) {
                       recyclerViewPositionOffset = 0 - bottomView.getHeight();
                     }
                     linearLayoutManager.scrollToPositionWithOffset(lastAdapterItem, recyclerViewPositionOffset);
                  }
                });
              }
         });
   }

Answer 4

It works for me

LinearLayoutManager layoutManager = new LinearLayoutManager(context);
layoutManager.setStackFromEnd(true);
recyclerView.setLayoutManager(layoutManager);

Add this your activity or fragment:

    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 11) {
        recyclerView.addOnLayoutChangeListener(new View.OnLayoutChangeListener() {
            @Override
            public void onLayoutChange(View v,
                    int left, int top, int right, int bottom,
                    int oldLeft, int oldTop, int oldRight, int oldBottom) {
                if (bottom < oldBottom) {
                    recyclerView.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
                        @Override
                        public void run() {
                            recyclerView.smoothScrollToPosition(
                                    recyclerView.getAdapter().getItemCount() - 1);
                        }
                    }, 100);
                }
            }
        });
    }

It works properly in support library version 27.0.1

There is nothing to set in the manifest.

val currentScrollPosition = 0

recyclerView.addOnScrollListener(object : RecyclerView.OnScrollListener() {
        override fun onScrolled(recyclerView: RecyclerView?, dx: Int, dy: Int) {
            super.onScrolled(recyclerView, dx, dy)

            currentScrollPosition = recyclerView.computeVerticalScrollOffset() + recyclerView.computeVerticalScrollExtent()
        }

        override fun onScrollStateChanged(recyclerView: RecyclerView?, newState: Int) { }
    })

    storyList.addOnLayoutChangeListener { view, left, top, right, bottom, oldLeft, oldTop, oldRight, oldBottom ->
        if (bottom < oldBottom) {
            if (currentScrollPosition >= recyclerView.computeVerticalScrollRange()) {
                recyclerVIew.post {
                    recyclerView.overScrollMode = RecyclerView.OVER_SCROLL_NEVER
                    recyclerView.smoothScrollBy(0, recyclerView.computeVerticalScrollRange() - recyclerView.computeVerticalScrollOffset() + recyclerView.computeVerticalScrollExtent())
                }
            }
        } else {
            recyclerView.overScrollMode = RecyclerView.OVER_SCROLL_ALWAYS
        }
    }
