I want to animate the RecyclerView scrolling. I don't want to animate adding or removal of items but rather animate items which are on screen, i.e visible items. What I want is, item settle down smoothly when scrolling is about to finish. I am not sure what approach should I take or how this can be done. I have tried following till now
- Using
RecyclerView.OnScrollListener, when I getonScrolledcallback, I find visible items & animate them upside or downside based on scroll direction. But this approach is no-where near to perfect & many times when scrolling fast, some visible views are null so animation doesn't apply on them & it looks weird. - Tried to animate visible items when I receive
SCROLL_STATE_IDLE. But there's noticeable delay for a fraction of second when scrolling is finished & then items animate. It doesn't look natural - Tried to figure out when
RecyclerViewscrolling is "about to" finish so I can start animation to mimic continuity of animation with scrolling. But didn't get success in identifying reliably that scrolling is about to finish.
Instead of above a little complex ways that doen't work the way I need, I wonder if there is any other way like creating custom LayoutManagerwhere I can override the each item scrolling so that it settle to it's aimed position smoothly?
Edit: Here's something very close to what I wanted
