I found a small bug for use with RTL layouts (Hebrew, Arabic). Need to swipe startMargin and endMargin like this:

private void setMarginsForChild(View child) {
    int lastItemIndex = getLayoutManager().getItemCount() - 1;
    int childIndex = getChildPosition(child);

    int startMargin = childIndex == 0 ? getMeasuredWidth() / 2 : 0;
    int endMargin = childIndex == lastItemIndex ? getMeasuredWidth() / 2 : 0;

    //RTL works for API 17+
    if (ViewCompat.getLayoutDirection(child) == ViewCompat.LAYOUT_DIRECTION_RTL) {
        // The view has RTL layout
        ((ViewGroup.MarginLayoutParams) child.getLayoutParams()).setMargins(endMargin, 0, startMargin, 0);
    } else {
        // The view has LTR layout
        ((ViewGroup.MarginLayoutParams) child.getLayoutParams()).setMargins(startMargin, 0, endMargin, 0);
    }

    child.requestLayout();

Hi, while using this extension of RecyclerView I came across a bug.

Say you changed Adapter's Data Set and say your previously selected item was the first one in the list then if new Data Set takes less space on screen than Measured Width then no ScrollListener is called. I don't know why perhaps this is a bug in RecyclerView it-self or maybe something is missing in code.

My current workaround is to update Views in onLayout() and that is very expensive.
I'd like to know if there's a way to either update Views when Data Set has changed, or something else entirely.

EDIT :
Never mind found another way. Just called recyclerView.setAdapter();. But can anyone explain why I need to call setAdapter again when I have only changed Data Set in Adapter not the Adapter it-self.

So I'm stuck trying to figure out how to get back the functionality to swipe right* past the beginning of the list to return to a previous activity. Right now with RecyclerView, once at the beginning of a list I can swipe left and it will close the current activity. Returning me to the previous activity. However with this SnappingRecyclerView, swiping left past the beginning of the list does nothing

Hi I seem to be having a problem where there are gaps between the last item in the list and the second last item. There is a gap between the first item on the list and the second item. By gaps I mean there is a white space between the list items. I figured that it has something to do with the following lines:
int startMargin = childIndex == 0 ? getMeasuredWidth() / 2 : 0;
int endMargin = childIndex == lastItemIndex ? getMeasuredWidth() / 2 : 0;
but I'm not sure how to fix it. Can you please help?

Hey guys, unfortunately I did not receive any notification about these comments.
I am not that active in the android scene anymore, however after posting this gist I did change a few things in this class to fix a few of the bugs you have been experiencing.
I will try to post an update tonight with some fixes to the class. Possibly in a repository so you can post your issues and receive help there.
-Update:
Am working on this but is a bit more work than expected. So expect it sometime soon.

Haha yeah :(
I did start, but I will finish up now that I know at least somebody wants it ;) I have to say it seems pretty sh*tty though. So let's improve it after.

Having somewhat the same issue as @murthyanitaa

I have 3 items in my horizontal RecyclerView and I'm setting scaleUnfocusedViews to true. Upon first scrolling, the first and last item will be redrawn to have gaps (left and right) and it seems like the width is squeezed. However the items between it remains the same, the only issue is, it loses the original margin set in the xml.

Screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/sVtUFai.jpg
Red area is the background color of the RecyclerView.

Anyhow, nice trick. Waiting for the fix 😄

first of all thx for sharing!
do you know when you will be finished?
and will you provide it as a gradle dependency?

further can you change the access to your private methods to protected, so they are usable in a subclass?

  • cheers

Decided to finally push it: https://github.com/lauw/Android-SnappingRecyclerView
Am also slowly working on a new version to achieve a similar effect but without replacing RecyclerView, implementing it as a LayoutManager.

Hi everyone,
This is a perfect solution indeed to achieve this functionality in your app. But I wanted to ask a question, that how to get the centered item id. I mean how to know which view is centered in the recycler view? Kindly any help will be appreciated.
