Implementing Endless scrolling in Recycler View

Question

I have a Recycler View which uses AsyncTask to populate UI.

Currently it retrieves all the data from the DB and displays it in one shot, but

I want to retrieve only 15 records in one go and after the scroll ends I want to load more 15 records and so on...can anybody please help. I have pasted the code below:

FeedActivity.java

package com.bbau.ankit.test_splash;

import android.app.Activity;

import android.os.AsyncTask;
import android.os.Bundle;

import android.util.Log;
import android.view.Window;

import com.yqritc.recyclerviewflexibledivider.HorizontalDividerItemDecoration;

    private static final String TAG = "RecyclerViewExample";

    private List<FeedItem> feedItemList = new ArrayList<FeedItem>();

    private RecyclerView mRecyclerView;

    private MyRecyclerAdapter adapter;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        /* Allow activity to show indeterminate progressbar */
        requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_INDETERMINATE_PROGRESS);

        setContentView(R.layout.news);

        /* Initialize recyclerview */
        mRecyclerView = (RecyclerView) findViewById(R.id.recycler_view);
        mRecyclerView.addItemDecoration(new HorizontalDividerItemDecoration.Builder(this).color(Color.BLACK).build());
        mRecyclerView.setLayoutManager(new LinearLayoutManager(this));

        /*Downloading data from below url*/
        final String url = "http://192.168.170.72/bbau_news.php?before=1&after=5";

    }

                urlConnection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();

                /* for Get request */
                urlConnection.setRequestMethod("GET");

                int statusCode = urlConnection.getResponseCode();

                /* 200 represents HTTP OK */
                if (statusCode ==  200) {

                    BufferedReader r = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(urlConnection.getInputStream()));
                    StringBuilder response = new StringBuilder();

                    while ((line = r.readLine()) != null) {
                        response.append(line);
                    }

                }

            } catch (Exception e) {

            }

            if (result == 1) {
                adapter = new MyRecyclerAdapter(FeedListActivity.this, feedItemList);
                mRecyclerView.setAdapter(adapter);
            } else {

            /*Initialize array if null*/
            if (null == feedItemList) {

            for (int i = 0; i < posts.length(); i++) {
                JSONObject post = posts.optJSONObject(i);

                FeedItem item = new FeedItem();

            }
        } catch (JSONException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

}

Of course you can use Recycler view and EndlessScrool as a combination like this..

Here is a sample

private boolean loading = true;
int pastVisiblesItems, visibleItemCount, totalItemCount;

mRecyclerView.setOnScrollListener(new RecyclerView.OnScrollListener() {
    @Override
    public void onScrolled(RecyclerView recyclerView, int dx, int dy) {

            visibleItemCount = mLayoutManager.getChildCount();
            totalItemCount = mLayoutManager.getItemCount();
            pastVisiblesItems = mLayoutManager.findFirstVisibleItemPosition();

            if (loading) {
                if ( (visibleItemCount + pastVisiblesItems) >= totalItemCount) {
                    loading = false;
                    Log.v("...", "Last Item Wow !");
                }
            }
     }
});

Don't forget to add

LinearLayoutManager mLayoutManager;
mLayoutManager = new LinearLayoutManager(this);
mRecyclerView.setLayoutManager(mLayoutManager);
