Recycler View Like Google Play Store App | How to use SnapHelper Android, Kotlin

 If we see the google play store android app, we can see that the app list in horizontal recycler view hold a property that the first property hold always full visible or not visible, but a portion visible is not seeing.




This property is snap property. In this article I show you how to use it in our own application. Basically we use two type of snap. Center Snap and start snap. I show you both here. So read full article here.

The Key Moment code is here-

For center snap you need to write 2 lines code-

        //center Snap
        val snapHelper = LinearSnapHelper()
        snapHelper.attachToRecyclerView(recyclerView1)


For start snap, create a class in kotlin say StartSnapHelper.kt

package com.example.snaphelpersampleapp

import android.view.View
import androidx.recyclerview.widget.LinearLayoutManager
import androidx.recyclerview.widget.LinearSnapHelper
import androidx.recyclerview.widget.OrientationHelper
import androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView

class StartSnapHelper : LinearSnapHelper() {
    private var mVerticalHelper: OrientationHelper? = null
    private var mHorizontalHelper: OrientationHelper? = null
    @Throws(IllegalStateException::class)
    override fun attachToRecyclerView(recyclerView: RecyclerView?) {
        super.attachToRecyclerView(recyclerView)
    }

    override fun calculateDistanceToFinalSnap(
        layoutManager: RecyclerView.LayoutManager,
        targetView: View
    ): IntArray? {
        val out = IntArray(2)
        if (layoutManager.canScrollHorizontally()) {
            out[0] = distanceToStart(targetView, getHorizontalHelper(layoutManager))
        } else {
            out[0] = 0
        }
        if (layoutManager.canScrollVertically()) {
            out[1] = distanceToStart(targetView, getVerticalHelper(layoutManager))
        } else {
            out[1] = 0
        }
        return out
    }

    override fun findSnapView(layoutManager: RecyclerView.LayoutManager): View? {
        return if (layoutManager is LinearLayoutManager) {
            if (layoutManager.canScrollHorizontally()) {
                getStartView(layoutManager, getHorizontalHelper(layoutManager))
            } else {
                getStartView(layoutManager, getVerticalHelper(layoutManager))
            }
        } else super.findSnapView(layoutManager)
    }

    private fun distanceToStart(targetView: View, helper: OrientationHelper?): Int {
        return helper!!.getDecoratedStart(targetView) - helper.startAfterPadding
    }

    private fun getStartView(
        layoutManager: RecyclerView.LayoutManager,
        helper: OrientationHelper?
    ): View? {
        if (layoutManager is LinearLayoutManager) {
            val firstChild = layoutManager.findFirstVisibleItemPosition()
            val isLastItem = (layoutManager
                .findLastCompletelyVisibleItemPosition()
                    == layoutManager.getItemCount() - 1)
            if (firstChild == RecyclerView.NO_POSITION || isLastItem) {
                return null
            }
            val child = layoutManager.findViewByPosition(firstChild)
            return if (helper!!.getDecoratedEnd(child) >= helper.getDecoratedMeasurement(child) / 2
                && helper.getDecoratedEnd(child) > 0
            ) {
                child
            } else {
                if (layoutManager.findLastCompletelyVisibleItemPosition()
                    == layoutManager.getItemCount() - 1
                ) {
                    null
                } else {
                    layoutManager.findViewByPosition(firstChild + 1)
                }
            }
        }
        return super.findSnapView(layoutManager)
    }

    private fun getVerticalHelper(layoutManager: RecyclerView.LayoutManager): OrientationHelper? {
        if (mVerticalHelper == null) {
            mVerticalHelper = OrientationHelper.createVerticalHelper(layoutManager)
        }
        return mVerticalHelper
    }

    private fun getHorizontalHelper(layoutManager: RecyclerView.LayoutManager): OrientationHelper? {
        if (mHorizontalHelper == null) {
            mHorizontalHelper = OrientationHelper.createHorizontalHelper(layoutManager)
        }
        return mHorizontalHelper
    }
}


Now in your activity-

        //start snap
        val startSnapHelper = StartSnapHelper()
        startSnapHelper.attachToRecyclerView(recyclerView2)
