Nested RecyclerView. How to prevent parent RecyclerView from getting scrolled while child RecyclerView is scrolling?

Leave a Comment

I am trying to implement a horizontal recyclerview and each item of the recyclerview will be a vertical recyclerview with a grid layout. The problem that i am facing is that when I try to scroll the child recyclerview vertically sometimes the parent recyclerview takes the scroll and starts scrolling horizontally. The approaches I tried to fix this are,

  1. setNestedScrollingEnabled(false) on the parent recyclerview
  2. In the onTouch() of the child recyclerview I disable touch events on the parent recyclerview by called requestdisallowinterceptTouchevent(false)

None of the above solutions provide a perfect fix for the problem. Any help is appreciated

The problem seemed interesting to me. So I tried to implement and this is what I achieved (you can also see the video here) which is pretty smooth.

enter image description here

So you can try something like this:

Define CustomLinearLayoutManager extending LinearLayoutManager like this:

public class CustomLinearLayoutManager extends LinearLayoutManager {      public CustomLinearLayoutManager(Context context, int orientation, boolean reverseLayout) {         super(context, orientation, reverseLayout);     }      @Override     public boolean canScrollVertically() {         return false;     } } 

and set this CustomLinearLayoutManager to your parent RecyclerView.

RecyclerView parentRecyclerView = (RecyclerView)findViewById(R.id.parent_rv); CustomLinearLayoutManager customLayoutManager = new CustomLinearLayoutManager(this, LinearLayoutManager.HORIZONTAL,false); parentRecyclerView.setLayoutManager(customLayoutManager); parentRecyclerView.setAdapter(new ParentAdapter(this)); // some adapter 

Now for child RecyclerView, define custom CustomGridLayoutManager extending GridLayoutManager:

public class CustomGridLayoutManager extends GridLayoutManager {      public CustomGridLayoutManager(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr, int defStyleRes) {         super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr, defStyleRes);     }      public CustomGridLayoutManager(Context context, int spanCount) {         super(context, spanCount);     }      public CustomGridLayoutManager(Context context, int spanCount, int orientation, boolean reverseLayout) {         super(context, spanCount, orientation, reverseLayout);     }      @Override     public boolean canScrollHorizontally() {         return false;     } } 

and set it as layoutManger to the child RecyclerView:

childRecyclerView = (RecyclerView)itemView.findViewById(R.id.child_rv); childRecyclerView.setLayoutManager(new CustomGridLayoutManager(context, 3)); childRecyclerView.setAdapter(new ChildAdapter()); // some adapter 

So basically parent RecyclerView is only listening to horizontal scrolls and child RecyclerView is only listening to vertical scrolls.

Try this. For my use-case it has worked:

nestedRecyclerView.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {      @Override     public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {         return true;     } });

I fixed this issue in a similar project by taking the opposite approach to you (and everyone else here).

Rather than allow the child to tell the parent when to stop looking at events, I let the parent decide when to ignore (based on direction). This approach requires a custom view though which can be a little more work. Below is what I created which would be used as the Outer/Parent view.

public class DirectionalRecyclerView extends RecyclerView {      private static float LOCK_DIRECTION_THRESHOLD; //The slop     private float startX;     private float startY;     private LockDirection mLockDirection = null;      public DirectionalRecyclerView(Context context) {         super(context);         findThreshold(context);     }      public DirectionalRecyclerView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {         super(context, attrs);         findThreshold(context)     }      public DirectionalRecyclerView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr) {         super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr);         findThreshold(context);     }      private void findThreshold(Context context) {         //last number is number of dp to move before deciding that's a direction not a tap, you might want to tweak it         LOCK_DIRECTION_THRESHOLD = context.getResources().getDisplayMetrics().density * 12;     }      //events start at the top of the tree and then pass down to     //each child view until they reach where they were initiated     //unless the parent (this) method returns true for this visitor     @Override     public boolean onInterceptTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {         switch (event.getAction()) {             case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:                 startX = event.getX();                 startY = event.getY();                 break;             case MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE:                 if (mLockDirection == null) {                     float currentX = event.getX();                     float currentY = event.getY();                     float diffX = Math.abs(currentX - startX);                     float diffY = Math.abs(currentY - startY);                     if (diffX > LOCK_DIRECTION_THRESHOLD) {                         mLockDirection = LockDirection.HORIZONTAL;                     } else if (diffY > LOCK_DIRECTION_THRESHOLD) {                         mLockDirection = LockDirection.VERTICAL;                     }                 } else {                     //we have locked a direction, check whether we intercept                     //the future touches in this event chain                     //(returning true steals children's events, otherwise we'll                     // just let the event trickle down to the child as usual)                     return mLockDirection == LockDirection.HORIZONTAL;                 }                 break;             case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:                 mLockDirection = null;                 break;         }         //dispatch cancel, clicks etc. normally         return super.onInterceptTouchEvent(event);     }      private enum LockDirection {         HORIZONTAL,         VERTICAL     }  }

Try below code to scroll inner RecyclerView.

innerRecyclerView.addOnItemTouchListener(new RecyclerView.OnItemTouchListener() {          @Override         public void onTouchEvent(RecyclerView recycler, MotionEvent event) {             // Handle on touch events here             int action = event.getAction();             switch (action) {                 case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:                     // Disallow Parent RecyclerView to intercept touch events.                     recycler.getParent().requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(true);                     break;                  case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:                     // Allow Parent RecyclerView to intercept touch events.                     recycler.getParent().requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(false);                     break;             }           }          @Override         public boolean onInterceptTouchEvent(RecyclerView recycler, MotionEvent event) {             return false;         }      });

IMO, you can try the following inside the Adapter of outer RecyclerView:

    @Override     public MyViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {         View v = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.cardview, parent, false);          RVAdapter2 recyclerViewAdapter2 = new RVAdapter2();         RecyclerView innerRV = (RecyclerView) v.findViewById(R.id.rv2);         // Setup layout manager for items         LinearLayoutManager layoutManager2 = new LinearLayoutManager(parent.getContext());         // Control orientation of the items         layoutManager2.setOrientation(LinearLayoutManager.VERTICAL);         innerRV.setLayoutManager(layoutManager2);         innerRV.setAdapter(recyclerViewAdapter2);          innerRV.setOnScrollListener(new RecyclerView.OnScrollListener() {             @Override             public void onScrollStateChanged(RecyclerView recyclerView, int newState) {                 super.onScrollStateChanged(recyclerView, newState);                 recyclerView.getParent().requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(true);             }         });          return new MyViewHolder(v);     } 

For API23, you can also try innerRV.setOnScrollChangeListener because setOnScrollListener is deprecated.

UPDATE:

Another option is using addOnScrollListener instead of setOnScrollListener

Hope it helps!

setNestedScrollingEnabled(false) on the parent recyclerview

What you could try is setNestedScrollingEnabled(false) on the child RecyclerView, if any. RecyclerView 's nestedscroll-ness is that of a child (that's why it implements NestedScrollingChild).

In the onTouch() of the child recyclerview I disable touch events on the parent recyclerview by called requestdisallowinterceptTouchevent(false)

This should work, but what you should do is requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(true), not false. If you subclass RecyclerView, you can override onTouchEvent:

@Override public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {     if (MotionEventCompat.getActionMasked(event) == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP) {         // ensure we release the disallow request when the finger is lifted         getParent().requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(false);     } else {         getParent().requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(true);     }     // Call the super class to ensure touch handling     return super.onTouchEvent(event); } 

Or, with a touch listener from outside,

child.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {      @Override     public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {         if (v.getId() == child.getId()) {             if (MotionEventCompat.getActionMasked(event) == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP) {                 // ensure we release the disallow request when the finger is lifted                 child.getParent().requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(false);             } else {                 child.getParent().requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(true);             }         }         // Call the super class to ensure touch handling         return super.onTouchEvent(event);     } });

Use this code to turn off scroll on recyclerview:

recyclerView.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {     @Override     public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {         return true;     } });

You should do this way:

innerRecyclerView.addOnItemTouchListener(new RecyclerView.OnItemTouchListener() {          @Override         public void onTouchEvent(RecyclerView recycler, MotionEvent event) {             // Handle on touch events here             int action = event.getAction();             switch (action) {                 case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:                      recycler.getParent().requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(true);                      break;                  case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:                      recycler.getParent().requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(false);                      break;                  case MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE:                      recycler.getParent().requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(true);                      break;             }           }          @Override         public boolean onInterceptTouchEvent(RecyclerView recycler, MotionEvent event) {             return false;         }      }); 

Hope this would help you.

Now you can try android:nestedScrollingEnabled because Google fixed a crash with usages of nestedScrollingEnabled (Issue 197932)

Answers 10

try the below code, hope it will work.

nestedRecyclerView.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {                 @Override                 public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {                     int action = event.getAction();                    switch (action) {                   case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:                      // Disallow parent to intercept touch events.                      v.getParent().requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(true);                      break;                   case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:                     // Allow parent to intercept touch events.                     v.getParent().requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(false);             break;         }                    // Handle inner(child) touch events.                     v.onTouchEvent(event);         return true;                 }             });

Set the listener to nested RecyclerView

 View.OnTouchListener listener = new View.OnTouchListener() {                 @Override                 public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {                     if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE                             ) {                         v.getParent().requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(true);                      } else {                         v.getParent().requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(false);                      }                     return false;                 }             };              mRecyclerView.setOnTouchListener(listener);

extend a custom layout manager like this

 public class CustomLayoutManager extends LinearLayoutManager {  private boolean isScrollEnabled = true;   public CustomGridLayoutManager(Context context) {  super(context);         }   @Override  public boolean canScrollVertically() {  return false;  } } 

Set the layout manager to this "Custom layout Manager"

I have solved the problem.Scrolling performance is much better in this case. Do not set adapters to horizontal RecyclerViews in OnBindViewHolder() method of Parent RecyclerView. Instead of it set it at very first time when the view is created via onCreateViewHolder() of RecyclerView with empty or null dataList. Just replace the newsecondary data list with previous null list at onBindViewHolder() and call notifydataSetChanged() to HorizontalAdapetr. This is much better than setAdapter() in onBindViewHolder().
