I am desperately trying to implement endless scrolling on an android app using kotlin. All the tutorials are either useless since they dont explain things properly. So for example: https://github.com/chetdeva/recyclerview-bindings
it looks promising but the author uses phrases like
"put this in your BindingAdapter" so i look what this BindingAdapter
is, I found a java file but if you insert anything in there I get errors. Its like anything I try fails directly.
The other tutorials are written in java and even with "translate to kotlin" option its useless since the translated code throws 100 errors.
I tried things like :
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)
list.layoutManager = LinearLayoutManager(this)
list.hasFixedSize()
list.adapter = ListAdapter(this, getLists())
val list_view: RecyclerView = findViewById(R.id.list)
fun setRecyclerViewScrollListener() {
list_view.addOnScrollListener(object : RecyclerView.OnScrollListener() {
override fun onScrolled(recyclerView: RecyclerView?, dx: Int, dy: Int) {
val height = list_view.getHeight()
val diff = height-dy
if (diff < 1000){
/*load next list */
}
}
})
}
setRecyclerViewScrollListener()
}
or this
val inflater = LayoutInflater.from(this@MainActivity)
val layout = inflater.inflate(R.layout.append_list, null, false)
button.setOnClickListener{screen.addView(layout)}
Is there a bullet proof method where you can simply append elemets like with html and js? I wrote this snippet in 2 min. Is there a similar "easy" way in Android/Kotlin?
$("#next").click(function(){
$(".append_text").append("new text <img src='http://static.webshopapp.com/shops/015426/files/005031634/560x625x2/kek-amsterdam-wandtattoo-hase-forest-friends-braun.jpg'/>")
})
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<button id="next">Load</button>
<span class="append_text"> </span>
In general I recive a lot of errors for choosing the wrong Layout. I tried Listview and contrainlayout and recycling Layout and Vertical Scrolling layout and so on. Is there a simple body tag where you can simply append a xml file?
I think I go the wrong way the whole time because I see everything though the eyes of a Web. Dev. while android does not have the classical DOM. Can anybody explain it to me with an minimal example on how to append a xml file to the main xml file on button click/on scroll?
