I want my RecyclerView to scroll to the bottom when a new item is added to the list. Below is my code:
RecyclerView.LayoutManager layoutManager = new LinearLayoutManager(getActivity());
recyclerView.setLayoutManager(layoutManager);
adapter = new RecyclerViewAdapter(data, recyclerView);
recyclerView.setAdapter(adapter);
And when I click a button which is below the RecyclerView
, data is added to the list:
public void addNewCard() {
data.add("New");
adapter.notifyItemInserted(data.size() - 1);
recyclerView.scrollToPosition(data.size() - 1);
}
Whenever I add an item, it always gets scrolled up to the topmost position. I tried using smoothScrollToPosition()
and tried using scrollToPosition()
on LinearLayoutManager
too. I even tried using ViewTreeObserver
. Tried changing the version of RecyclerView
in dependencies too. I searched thoroughly on Stack Overflow and none of the solutions work for me.
Any ideas on what could be the problem? I'm using RecyclerView
inside a fragment. Could that be a cause of the problem?
My .xml file for the RecyclerView
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
