How to scroll to a particular position in recyclerview inside scrollview?

Question

I have searched a lot regarding my query and none of them was useful. I have a recyclerview and some static data inside a scroll view which is inside a root parentlayout as show below.

I have set -

scrollview.scrollto(0,0);

because everytime i open the activity it jumps to the recyclerview firstitem and it skips out the static data above the recyclerview.

recyclerview.setNestedScrollingEnabled(false); 
recyclerview.setfocusable(false);

for smoothscroll.

the problem is with-

layoutmanager.scrollToPositionWithOffset(pos,0);

it is not working. I have set the aboveline after setting adapter to recyclerview. Also tried with NestedScrollView but in vain.

although I have used

layoutmanager.scrollToPosition(pos);

For those who skip the code, i have set match_parent to ScrollView and fillviewport to true.

Here is my layout.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout

Could you post some of your android code as well? Are you sure you're referencing the right `layoutManager`? Not the `RecyclerView`'s but the `ScrollView`'s right? — Felix Guo, Jul 24 '17 at 21:35
You want to retain scroll postion on rotation or just programmatically want to scroll to certain position? — akshay_shahane, Jul 25 '17 at 20:39
paste your adapter and related activity/fragment code as well @akshay_shahane. — Radhey, Jul 26 '17 at 11:01

Need to scroll ScrollView by getting top position of RecyclerView's child :

float y = recyclerView.getY() + recyclerView.getChildAt(selectedPosition).getY();    
scrollView.smoothScrollTo(0, (int) y);

Is X zero speed? – danny117 Jul 24 '17 at 14:02
@danny117 No. [It is position on scroll x-axis, horizontal scroll value](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/ScrollView.html) – Vaibhav Jani Jul 25 '17 at 07:19
(without looking) I was hoping it would be similar to jquery that has speed and y on scrollto method. – danny117 Jul 26 '17 at 13:38
In my case, the scrollView is moving, but it doesn't go to the specified adapter position. Any ideas pls? – marios-codes Oct 17 '17 at 10:55
@msrowley debug position you are scrolling to – Vaibhav Jani Oct 18 '17 at 06:33

@msrowley Add Y position of RecyclerView to the child's Y position if your RecyclerView isn't the first element in the XML file. – user1025013 Mar 21 '18 at 20:37
What if I want not only top but that whole particular item to be visible? – Siddharth Thakkar Sep 06 '19 at 07:45

you can use scroll view method to reach your desired locations as:

scrollView.smoothScrollTo(int x, int y);

I know I'm answering pretty late but if you get an auto scroll issue, you need to add android:descendantFocusability="blocksDescendants" in your RelativeLayout. So, your RealtiveLyout tag will look like this:

<RelativeLayout
    android:id="@+id/inclusionviewgroup"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:descendantFocusability="blocksDescendants"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

Step 1: Add this line for selecting that position in the recyclerview

  adaptercat.setSelectedItem(Integer.parseInt(dealtypeid));

Step 2: Once check below constructor by getting current position

  public CatgerotyAdapter(Context context, ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>> arraylist,String selectedPosition) {
        this.context = context;
        this.data = arraylist;
        resultp = new HashMap<>();
        currentItemPos=Integer.parseInt(selectedPosition)-1;
    }

Step 3: And this function also in adapter

  public void setCurrentItem(int item)
    {
        this.currentItemPos = item;
    }

Last step 4. Add this function outside adapter in your class

 private void onPagerItemClick2(Integer tag)
{
    adaptercat.setCurrentItem(tag);
    catsp.setAdapter(adaptercat);
}

Pust this line in your listview item click listner

  ((ClassName) context).onPagerItemClick2(position);

That position will be selected when will you open listview ..

Use this method scrollToPosition (int position) this is work for me. hope this will help you.

        mMessagesRecyclerView = (RecyclerView) findViewById(R.id.messagesRecyclerView);
        LinearLayoutManager layoutManager = new LinearLayoutManager(this);
        layoutManager.setStackFromEnd(true);

        mMessagesRecyclerView.setLayoutManager(layoutManager);
        mMessagesAdapter = new MessagesAdapter();
        mMessagesRecyclerView.setAdapter(mMessagesAdapter);

        mMessagesRecyclerView.scrollToPosition(your position);

this is my layoutstructer
