I have a Recyclerview, im animating a view inside individual list item, but when I scroll the recyclerview the animation is stopping. Its because recyclerview removes the items form its view so when we scroll back it fetches it back! But now i want that animation to keep going as I would stop it only when i get data from server!
All I want is the animation that I start in the individual items inside the recylerview shouldn't stop even if the recyclerview is scrolled and the view is out of focus and comes back to focus! I need to stop the animation in the code when I get the server data! I have the code where to stop the animation and it works if the item is not scrolled off the view!
btn.onClick -- this button is the onClick for the recyclerview list
item 1 btn.startAnimation(anim.xml) -- starting the animation
onSuccess -- server returns success btn.clearAnimation();
but before the onSuccess if we scroll the list the animation is stopped!
Please help!
Hard to give you a full solution but have you tried saving the animation state inside the ViewHolder that you are using? I'd recommend saving a boolean flag in the ViewHolder class you defined like isAnimating
which is initially set to false and in your onBindViewHolder(...)
method you can do something like
if (viewHolder.isAnimating) {
// start animation
} else {
// clear animation
}
viewHolder.btn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
viewHolder.isAnimating = true;
// start animation
}
});
By inspiring from crymson's answer i have made little easy and useful solution using tag method of View instead setting a boolean in complicated logic of your custom adapter.
@Override
public void onViewDetachedFromWindow(RecyclerView.ViewHolder holder) {
super.onViewDetachedFromWindow(holder);
if (holder.getItemViewType() == TYPE_AD)
((ViewHolderForAd) holder).ivStory.setTag(false);
}
public class ViewHolderForAd extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
private ImageView ivStory;
TextView tvName;
public ViewHolderForAd(View view) {
super(view);
ivStory = (ImageView) view.findViewById(R.id.ivStoryImage);
tvName = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.tvAppName);
view.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
int pos = getAdapterPosition();
if (pos < 0) {
pos = (int) v.getTag();
}
customItemClickListener.onItemClicked(v, pos);
}
});
//ivStory.startAnimation(AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(context, R.anim.pulse_story));
ivStory.setTag(false); //Set default tag false to decrease risk of null
}
}
@Override
public void onBindViewHolder(RecyclerView.ViewHolder viewHolder, int i) {
//...Your code...
if (!(boolean) holder1.ivStory.getTag()) {
holder1.ivStory.setTag(true);
holder1.ivStory.startAnimation(AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(context, R.anim.pulse_story));
}
//...Your code...//
}
You can use setTag(key, object) instead of setTag(object) if you already tagged something(like position) in your imageView.
Hope this helps someone.
