I am using a RecyclerView
with GridLayoutManager
. Users can toggle the span count between 2 and 4, which would result in an animation that runs the inbuilt translate animation for each cell to it's new position. Code I have been using thus far is:
TransitionManager.beginDelayedTransition(moviesGridRecycler);
gridLayoutManager.setSpanCount(NEW_SPAN_COUNT);
adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
This has been working fine for me, but now I need to have a different layout for each span count. To support this, I have 2 view types in the RecyclerView
and since the view type is changed when moving to a new span count, RecyclerView
is unable to see that it's the "same" content, and the default translate animation is not run.
If I enable layout transitions, I get view entry animations and not view position change animations. Cell views for both span count are having a width and height as match_parent
and wrap_content
.
As an alternative, I tried dropping the new view type all together, and just having one view type. I have a FrameLayout
, which holds views for both span counts. In onBindViewHolder()
, I simply toggle visibility of child views. This too results in no animations.
I followed this thread and this one, but could not resolve my issue.
Full Code:
class ItemFragment : Fragment() {
private var spanCount = 2
lateinit var recyclerView: RecyclerView
lateinit var button: Button
override fun onCreateView(inflater: LayoutInflater, container: ViewGroup?,
savedInstanceState: Bundle?): View? {
val view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_item_list, container, false)
recyclerView = view.findViewById(R.id.listView)
recyclerView.apply {
adapter = MyItemRecyclerViewAdapter(DummyContent.ITEMS, spanCount)
layoutManager = GridLayoutManager(context, spanCount)
addItemDecoration(RecyclerGridDecoration(context))
}
button = view.findViewById(R.id.toggle)
button.setOnClickListener { onToggle() }
return view
}
fun onToggle() {
spanCount = if (spanCount == 2) 4 else 2
TransitionManager.beginDelayedTransition(recyclerView)
(recyclerView.layoutManager as GridLayoutManager).spanCount = spanCount
(recyclerView.adapter!! as MyItemRecyclerViewAdapter).apply {
span = spanCount
notifyDataSetChanged()
}
}
}
class MyItemRecyclerViewAdapter(
private val mValues: List<DummyItem>,
var span: Int)
: RecyclerView.Adapter<MyItemRecyclerViewAdapter.ViewHolder>() {
override fun onCreateViewHolder(parent: ViewGroup, viewType: Int): ViewHolder {
if (viewType == 2) {
val view = LayoutInflater.from(parent.context)
.inflate(R.layout.items_two, parent, false)
return TwoViewHolder(view)
} else {
val view = LayoutInflater.from(parent.context)
.inflate(R.layout.items_four, parent, false)
return FourViewHolder(view)
}
}
override fun onBindViewHolder(holder: ViewHolder, position: Int) {
val item = mValues[position]
if (holder is TwoViewHolder) {
holder.textTwo.text = item.content
} else if (holder is FourViewHolder) {
holder.textFour.text = item.content
}
}
override fun getItemCount(): Int = mValues.size
abstract inner class ViewHolder(mView: View) : RecyclerView.ViewHolder(mView)
inner class TwoViewHolder(mView: View) : ViewHolder(mView) {
val image: ImageView = mView.imageTwo
val textTwo: TextView = mView.textTwo
}
inner class FourViewHolder(mView: View) : ViewHolder(mView) {
val textFour: TextView = mView.textFour
}
override fun getItemViewType(position: Int): Int {
return span
}
}
