StaggeredGridLayoutManager

public class StaggeredGridLayoutManager
extends RecyclerView.LayoutManager implements RecyclerView.SmoothScroller.ScrollVectorProvider

java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView.LayoutManager
     ↳ android.support.v7.widget.StaggeredGridLayoutManager


A LayoutManager that lays out children in a staggered grid formation. It supports horizontal & vertical layout as well as an ability to layout children in reverse.

Staggered grids are likely to have gaps at the edges of the layout. To avoid these gaps, StaggeredGridLayoutManager can offset spans independently or move items between spans. You can control this behavior via setGapStrategy(int).

Summary

Nested classes

class StaggeredGridLayoutManager.LayoutParams

LayoutParams used by StaggeredGridLayoutManager. 

Inherited XML attributes

From class android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView.LayoutManager

Constants

int GAP_HANDLING_LAZY

This constant was deprecated in API level 22.1.0. No longer supported.

int GAP_HANDLING_MOVE_ITEMS_BETWEEN_SPANS

When scroll state is changed to SCROLL_STATE_IDLE, StaggeredGrid will check if there are gaps in the because of full span items.

int GAP_HANDLING_NONE

Does not do anything to hide gaps.

int HORIZONTAL

int VERTICAL

Public constructors

StaggeredGridLayoutManager(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr, int defStyleRes)

Constructor used when layout manager is set in XML by RecyclerView attribute "layoutManager".

StaggeredGridLayoutManager(int spanCount, int orientation)

Creates a StaggeredGridLayoutManager with given parameters.

Public methods

int[] findLastCompletelyVisibleItemPositions(int[] into)

Returns the adapter position of the last completely visible view for each span.

int[] findLastVisibleItemPositions(int[] into)

Returns the adapter position of the last visible view for each span.

RecyclerView.LayoutParams generateDefaultLayoutParams()

Create a default LayoutParams object for a child of the RecyclerView.

RecyclerView.LayoutParams generateLayoutParams(Context c, AttributeSet attrs)

Create a LayoutParams object suitable for this LayoutManager from an inflated layout resource.

Called by the AccessibilityDelegate when the accessibility information for a specific item should be populated.

void onItemsAdded(RecyclerView recyclerView, int positionStart, int itemCount)

Called when items have been added to the adapter.

void onItemsChanged(RecyclerView recyclerView)
