*** ** * ** ***
A `LayoutManager` is responsible for measuring and positioning item views within a `RecyclerView` as well as determining the policy for when to recycle item views that are no longer visible to the user. By changing the `LayoutManager` a `RecyclerView` can be used to implement a standard vertically scrolling list, a uniform grid, staggered grids, horizontally scrolling collections and more. Several stock layout managers are provided for general use.
If the LayoutManager specifies a default constructor or one with the signature (`https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Context.html`, `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/util/AttributeSet.html`, `int`, `int`), RecyclerView will instantiate and set the LayoutManager when being inflated. Most used properties can be then obtained from `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.LayoutManager#getProperties(android.content.Context,android.util.AttributeSet,int,int)`. In case a LayoutManager specifies both constructors, the non-default constructor will take precedence.

### ignoreView
Added in [1.0.0](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/recyclerview#1.0.0)
```
public void ignoreView(@NonNull View view)
```
Flags a view so that it will not be scrapped or recycled.
Scope of ignoring a child is strictly restricted to position tracking, scrapping and recyling. Methods like `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.LayoutManager#removeAndRecycleAllViews(androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView.Recycler)` will ignore the child whereas `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.LayoutManager#removeAllViews()` or `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.LayoutManager#offsetChildrenHorizontal(int)` will not ignore the child.
Before this child can be recycled again, you have to call `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.LayoutManager#stopIgnoringView(android.view.View)`.
You can call this method only if your LayoutManger is in onLayout or onScroll callback.
| Parameters |
|---|---|
| `@https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/annotation/NonNull https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.html view` | View to ignore. |
| See also |
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.LayoutManager#stopIgnoringView(android.view.View)` | |
### isAttachedToWindow
Added in [1.0.0](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/recyclerview#1.0.0)
```
public boolean isAttachedToWindow()
```
Returns whether LayoutManager is currently attached to a RecyclerView which is attached to a window.
| Returns |
|---|---|
| `boolean` | True if this LayoutManager is controlling a RecyclerView and the RecyclerView is attached to window. |
### isAutoMeasureEnabled
Added in [1.0.0](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/recyclerview#1.0.0)
```
public boolean isAutoMeasureEnabled()
```
Returns whether the measuring pass of layout should use the AutoMeasure mechanism of `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView` or if it should be done by the LayoutManager's implementation of `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.LayoutManager#onMeasure(androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView.Recycler,androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView.State,int,int)`.
This method returns false by default (it actually returns the value passed to the deprecated `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.LayoutManager#setAutoMeasureEnabled(boolean)`) and should be overridden to return true if a LayoutManager wants to be auto measured by the RecyclerView.
If this method is overridden to return true, `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.LayoutManager#onMeasure(androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView.Recycler,androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView.State,int,int)` should not be overridden.
AutoMeasure is a RecyclerView mechanism that handles the measuring pass of layout in a simple and contract satisfying way, including the wrapping of children laid out by LayoutManager. Simply put, it handles wrapping children by calling `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.LayoutManager#onLayoutChildren(androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView.Recycler,androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView.State)` during a call to `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView#onMeasure(int,int)`, and then calculating desired dimensions based on children's dimensions and positions. It does this while supporting all existing animation capabilities of the RecyclerView.

When `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView#onMeasure(int,int)` is called, if the provided measure specs both have a mode of `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.MeasureSpec.html#EXACTLY`, RecyclerView will set its measured dimensions accordingly and return, allowing layout to continue as normal (Actually, RecyclerView will call `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.LayoutManager#onMeasure(androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView.Recycler,androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView.State,int,int)` for backwards compatibility reasons but it should not be overridden if AutoMeasure is being used).
2. If one of the layout specs is not `EXACT`, the RecyclerView will start the layout process. It will first process all pending Adapter updates and then decide whether to run a predictive layout. If it decides to do so, it will first call `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.LayoutManager#onLayoutChildren(androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView.Recycler,androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView.State)` with `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.State#isPreLayout()` set to `true`. At this stage, `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.LayoutManager#getWidth()` and `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.LayoutManager#getHeight()` will still return the width and height of the RecyclerView as of the last layout calculation.
After handling the predictive case, RecyclerView will call `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.LayoutManager#onLayoutChildren(androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView.Recycler,androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView.State)` with `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.State#isMeasuring()` set to `true` and `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.State#isPreLayout()` set to `false`. The LayoutManager can access the measurement specs via `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.LayoutManager#getHeight()`, `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.LayoutManager#getHeightMode()`, `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.LayoutManager#getWidth()` and `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.LayoutManager#getWidthMode()`.
3. After the layout calculation, RecyclerView sets the measured width \&height by calculating the bounding box for the children (+ RecyclerView's padding). The LayoutManagers can override `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.LayoutManager#setMeasuredDimension(android.graphics.Rect,int,int)` to choose different values. For instance, GridLayoutManager overrides this value to handle the case where if it is vertical and has 3 columns but only 2 items, it should still measure its width to fit 3 items, not 2.
4. Any following calls to `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView#onMeasure(int,int)` will run `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.LayoutManager#onLayoutChildren(androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView.Recycler,androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView.State)` with `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.State#isMeasuring()` set to `true` and `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.State#isPreLayout()` set to `false`. RecyclerView will take care of which views are actually added / removed / moved / changed for animations so that the LayoutManager should not worry about them and handle each `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.LayoutManager#onLayoutChildren(androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView.Recycler,androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView.State)` call as if it is the last one.
5. When measure is complete and RecyclerView's `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView#onLayout(boolean,int,int,int,int)` method is called, RecyclerView checks whether it already did layout calculations during the measure pass and if so, it re-uses that information. It may still decide to call `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.LayoutManager#onLayoutChildren(androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView.Recycler,androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView.State)` if the last measure spec was different from the final dimensions or adapter contents have changed between the measure call and the layout call.
6. Finally, animations are calculated and run as usual.
| Returns |
|---|---|
| `boolean` | `True` if the measuring pass of layout should use the AutoMeasure mechanism of `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView` or `False` if it should be done by the LayoutManager's implementation of `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.LayoutManager#onMeasure(androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView.Recycler,androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView.State,int,int)`. |

### isMeasurementCacheEnabled
Added in [1.0.0](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/recyclerview#1.0.0)
```
public boolean isMeasurementCacheEnabled()
```
In addition to the View Framework's measurement cache, RecyclerView uses its own additional measurement cache for its children to avoid re-measuring them when not necessary. It is on by default but it can be turned off via `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.LayoutManager#setMeasurementCacheEnabled(boolean)`.
| Returns |
|---|---|
| `boolean` | True if measurement cache is enabled, false otherwise. |

```
public boolean isViewPartiallyVisible(
@NonNull View child,
boolean completelyVisible,
boolean acceptEndPointInclusion
)
```
Returns whether the given child view is partially or fully visible within the padded bounded area of RecyclerView, depending on the input parameters. A view is partially visible if it has non-zero overlap with RV's padded bounded area. If acceptEndPointInclusion flag is set to true, it's also considered partially visible if it's located outside RV's bounds and it's hitting either RV's start or end bounds.
| Parameters |
|---|---|
| `@https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/annotation/NonNull https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.html child` | The child view to be examined. |
| `boolean completelyVisible` | If true, the method returns true if and only if the child is completely visible. If false, the method returns true if and only if the child is only partially visible (that is it will return false if the child is either completely visible or out of RV's bounds). |
| `boolean acceptEndPointInclusion` | If the view's endpoint intersection with RV's start of end bounds is enough to consider it partially visible, false otherwise. |
| Returns |
|---|---|
| `boolean` | True if the given child is partially or fully visible, false otherwise. |

```
@CallSuper
public void onDetachedFromWindow(RecyclerView view, RecyclerView.Recycler recycler)
```
Called when this LayoutManager is detached from its parent RecyclerView or when its parent RecyclerView is detached from its window.
LayoutManager should clear all of its View references as another LayoutManager might be assigned to the RecyclerView.
If the RecyclerView is re-attached with the same LayoutManager and Adapter, it may not call `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.LayoutManager#onLayoutChildren(androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView.Recycler,androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView.State)` if nothing has changed and a layout was not requested on the RecyclerView while it was detached.
If your LayoutManager has View references that it cleans in on-detach, it should also call `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView#requestLayout()` to ensure that it is re-laid out when RecyclerView is re-attached.
Subclass implementations should always call through to the superclass implementation.
| Parameters |
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView view` | The RecyclerView this LayoutManager is bound to |
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.Recycler recycler` | The recycler to use if you prefer to recycle your children instead of keeping them around. |

### onFocusSearchFailed
Added in [1.0.0](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/recyclerview#1.0.0)
```
public @Nullable View onFocusSearchFailed(
@NonNull View focused,
int direction,
@NonNull RecyclerView.Recycler recycler,
@NonNull RecyclerView.State state
)
```
Called when searching for a focusable view in the given direction has failed for the current content of the RecyclerView.
This is the LayoutManager's opportunity to populate views in the given direction to fulfill the request if it can. The LayoutManager should attach and return the view to be focused, if a focusable view in the given direction is found. Otherwise, if all the existing (or the newly populated views) are unfocusable, it returns the next unfocusable view to become visible on the screen. This unfocusable view is typically the first view that's either partially or fully out of RV's padded bounded area in the given direction. The default implementation returns null.
| Parameters |
|---|---|
| `@https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/annotation/NonNull https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.html focused` | The currently focused view |
| `int direction` | One of `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.html#FOCUS_UP`, `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.html#FOCUS_DOWN`, `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.html#FOCUS_LEFT`, `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.html#FOCUS_RIGHT`, `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.html#FOCUS_BACKWARD`, `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.html#FOCUS_FORWARD` or 0 for not applicable |
| `@https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/annotation/NonNull https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.Recycler recycler` | The recycler to use for obtaining views for currently offscreen items |
| `@https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/annotation/NonNull https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.State state` | Transient state of RecyclerView |
| Returns |
|---|---|
| `@https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/annotation/Nullable https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.html` | The chosen view to be focused if a focusable view is found, otherwise an unfocusable view to become visible onto the screen, else null. |

### onInterceptFocusSearch
Added in [1.0.0](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/recyclerview#1.0.0)
```
public @Nullable View onInterceptFocusSearch(@NonNull View focused, int direction)
```
This method gives a LayoutManager an opportunity to intercept the initial focus search before the default behavior of `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/FocusFinder.html` is used. If this method returns null FocusFinder will attempt to find a focusable child view. If it fails then `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.LayoutManager#onFocusSearchFailed(android.view.View,int,androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView.Recycler,androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView.State)` will be called to give the LayoutManager an opportunity to add new views for items that did not have attached views representing them. The LayoutManager should not add or remove views from this method.
| Parameters |
|---|---|
| `@https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/annotation/NonNull https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.html focused` | The currently focused view |
| `int direction` | One of `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.html#FOCUS_UP`, `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.html#FOCUS_DOWN`, `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.html#FOCUS_LEFT`, `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.html#FOCUS_RIGHT`, `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.html#FOCUS_BACKWARD`, `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.html#FOCUS_FORWARD` |
| Returns |
|---|---|
| `@https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/annotation/Nullable https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.html` | A descendant view to focus or null to fall back to default behavior. The default implementation returns null. |
### onItemsAdded
Added in [1.0.0](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/recyclerview#1.0.0)
```
public void onItemsAdded(
@NonNull RecyclerView recyclerView,
int positionStart,
int itemCount
)
```
Called when items have been added to the adapter. The LayoutManager may choose to requestLayout if the inserted items would require refreshing the currently visible set of child views. (e.g. currently empty space would be filled by appended items, etc.)
### onItemsChanged
Added in [1.0.0](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/recyclerview#1.0.0)
```
public void onItemsChanged(@NonNull RecyclerView recyclerView)
```
Called in response to a call to `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.Adapter#notifyDataSetChanged()` or `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView#swapAdapter(androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView.Adapter,boolean)` ()} and signals that the the entire data set has changed.
### onItemsMoved
Added in [1.0.0](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/recyclerview#1.0.0)
```
public void onItemsMoved(
@NonNull RecyclerView recyclerView,
int from,
int to,
int itemCount
)
```
Called when an item is moved withing the adapter.
Note that, an item may also change position in response to another ADD/REMOVE/MOVE operation. This callback is only called if and only if `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.Adapter#notifyItemMoved(int,int)` is called.
### onItemsRemoved
Added in [1.0.0](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/recyclerview#1.0.0)
```
public void onItemsRemoved(
@NonNull RecyclerView recyclerView,
int positionStart,
int itemCount
)
```
Called when items have been removed from the adapter.
### onItemsUpdated
Added in [1.0.0](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/recyclerview#1.0.0)
```
public void onItemsUpdated(
@NonNull RecyclerView recyclerView,
int positionStart,
int itemCount
)
```
Called when items have been changed in the adapter. To receive payload, override `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.LayoutManager#onItemsUpdated(androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView,int,int,java.lang.Object)` instead, then this callback will not be invoked.
### onItemsUpdated
Added in [1.0.0](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/recyclerview#1.0.0)
```
public void onItemsUpdated(
@NonNull RecyclerView recyclerView,
int positionStart,
int itemCount,
@Nullable Object payload
)
```
Called when items have been changed in the adapter and with optional payload. Default implementation calls `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.LayoutManager#onItemsUpdated(androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView,int,int)`.
### onLayoutChildren
Added in [1.0.0](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/recyclerview#1.0.0)
```
public void onLayoutChildren(
RecyclerView.Recycler recycler,
RecyclerView.State state
)
```
Lay out all relevant child views from the given adapter. The LayoutManager is in charge of the behavior of item animations. By default, RecyclerView has a non-null `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView#getItemAnimator()`, and simple item animations are enabled. This means that add/remove operations on the adapter will result in animations to add new or appearing items, removed or disappearing items, and moved items. If a LayoutManager returns false from `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.LayoutManager#supportsPredictiveItemAnimations()`, which is the default, and runs a normal layout operation during `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.LayoutManager#onLayoutChildren(androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView.Recycler,androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView.State)`, the RecyclerView will have enough information to run those animations in a simple way. For example, the default ItemAnimator, `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/DefaultItemAnimator`, will simply fade views in and out, whether they are actually added/removed or whether they are moved on or off the screen due to other add/remove operations.
A LayoutManager wanting a better item animation experience, where items can be animated onto and off of the screen according to where the items exist when they are not on screen, then the LayoutManager should return true from `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.LayoutManager#supportsPredictiveItemAnimations()` and add additional logic to `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.LayoutManager#onLayoutChildren(androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView.Recycler,androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView.State)`. Supporting predictive animations means that `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.LayoutManager#onLayoutChildren(androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView.Recycler,androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView.State)` will be called twice; once as a "pre" layout step to determine where items would have been prior to a real layout, and again to do the "real" layout. In the pre-layout phase, items will remember their pre-layout positions to allow them to be laid out appropriately. Also, `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.LayoutParams#isItemRemoved()` items will be returned from the scrap to help determine correct placement of other items. These removed items should not be added to the child list, but should be used to help calculate correct positioning of other views, including views that were not previously onscreen (referred to as APPEARING views), but whose pre-layout offscreen position can be determined given the extra information about the pre-layout removed views.
The second layout pass is the real layout in which only non-removed views will be used. The only additional requirement during this pass is, if `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.LayoutManager#supportsPredictiveItemAnimations()` returns true, to note which views exist in the child list prior to layout and which are not there after layout (referred to as DISAPPEARING views), and to position/layout those views appropriately, without regard to the actual bounds of the RecyclerView. This allows the animation system to know the location to which to animate these disappearing views.
The default LayoutManager implementations for RecyclerView handle all of these requirements for animations already. Clients of RecyclerView can either use one of these layout managers directly or look at their implementations of onLayoutChildren() to see how they account for the APPEARING and DISAPPEARING views.
| Parameters |
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.Recycler recycler` | Recycler to use for fetching potentially cached views for a position |
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.State state` | Transient state of RecyclerView |
### onLayoutCompleted
Added in [1.0.0](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/recyclerview#1.0.0)
```
public void onLayoutCompleted(RecyclerView.State state)
```
Called after a full layout calculation is finished. The layout calculation may include multiple `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.LayoutManager#onLayoutChildren(androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView.Recycler,androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView.State)` calls due to animations or layout measurement but it will include only one `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.LayoutManager#onLayoutCompleted(androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView.State)` call. This method will be called at the end of `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.html#layout(int, int, int, int)` call.
This is a good place for the LayoutManager to do some cleanup like pending scroll position, saved state etc.
| Parameters |
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.State state` | Transient state of RecyclerView |
### onMeasure
Added in [1.0.0](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/recyclerview#1.0.0)
```
public void onMeasure(
@NonNull RecyclerView.Recycler recycler,
@NonNull RecyclerView.State state,
int widthSpec,
int heightSpec
)
```
Measure the attached RecyclerView. Implementations must call `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.LayoutManager#setMeasuredDimension(int,int)` before returning.
It is strongly advised to use the AutoMeasure mechanism by overriding `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.LayoutManager#isAutoMeasureEnabled()` to return true as AutoMeasure handles all the standard measure cases including when the RecyclerView's layout_width or layout_height have been set to wrap_content. If `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.LayoutManager#isAutoMeasureEnabled()` is overridden to return true, this method should not be overridden.
The default implementation will handle EXACTLY measurements and respect the minimum width and height properties of the host RecyclerView if measured as UNSPECIFIED. AT_MOST measurements will be treated as EXACTLY and the RecyclerView will consume all available space.
| Parameters |
|---|---|
| `@https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/annotation/NonNull https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.Recycler recycler` | Recycler |
| `@https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/annotation/NonNull https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.State state` | Transient state of RecyclerView |
| `int widthSpec` | Width `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.MeasureSpec.html` |
| `int heightSpec` | Height `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.MeasureSpec.html` |

)
```
> [!CAUTION]
> **This method is deprecated.**
>

### onRequestChildFocus
Added in [1.0.0](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/recyclerview#1.0.0)
```
public boolean onRequestChildFocus(
@NonNull RecyclerView parent,
@NonNull RecyclerView.State state,
@NonNull View child,
@Nullable View focused
)
```
Called when a descendant view of the RecyclerView requests focus.
A LayoutManager wishing to keep focused views aligned in a specific portion of the view may implement that behavior in an override of this method.
If the LayoutManager executes different behavior that should override the default behavior of scrolling the focused child on screen instead of running alongside it, this method should return true.
| Parameters |
|---|---|
| `@https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/annotation/NonNull https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView parent` | The RecyclerView hosting this LayoutManager |
| `@https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/annotation/NonNull https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.State state` | Current state of RecyclerView |
| `@https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/annotation/NonNull https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.html child` | Direct child of the RecyclerView containing the newly focused view |
| `@https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/annotation/Nullable https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.html focused` | The newly focused view. This may be the same view as child or it may be null |
| Returns |
|---|---|
| `boolean` | true if the default scroll behavior should be suppressed |
### onRestoreInstanceState
Added in [1.0.0](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/recyclerview#1.0.0)
```
public void onRestoreInstanceState(Parcelable state)
```
Called when the RecyclerView is ready to restore the state based on a previous RecyclerView. Notice that this might happen after an actual layout, based on how Adapter prefers to restore State. See `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.Adapter#getStateRestorationPolicy()` for more information.
| Parameters |
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Parcelable.html state` | The parcelable that was returned by the previous LayoutManager's `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.LayoutManager#onSaveInstanceState()` method. |
### onSaveInstanceState
Added in [1.0.0](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/recyclerview#1.0.0)
```
public @Nullable Parcelable onSaveInstanceState()
```
Called when the LayoutManager should save its state. This is a good time to save your scroll position, configuration and anything else that may be required to restore the same layout state if the LayoutManager is recreated.
RecyclerView does NOT verify if the LayoutManager has changed between state save and restore. This will let you share information between your LayoutManagers but it is also your responsibility to make sure they use the same parcelable class.
| Returns |
|---|---|
| `@https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/annotation/Nullable https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Parcelable.html` | Necessary information for LayoutManager to be able to restore its state |

### requestLayout
Added in [1.0.0](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/recyclerview#1.0.0)
```
public void requestLayout()
```
Calls `RecyclerView#requestLayout` on the underlying RecyclerView
### requestSimpleAnimationsInNextLayout
Added in [1.0.0](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/recyclerview#1.0.0)
```
public void requestSimpleAnimationsInNextLayout()
```
A LayoutManager can call this method to force RecyclerView to run simple animations in the next layout pass, even if there is not any trigger to do so. (e.g. adapter data change).
Note that, calling this method will not guarantee that RecyclerView will run animations at all. For example, if there is not any `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.ItemAnimator` set, RecyclerView will not run any animations but will still clear this flag after the layout is complete.
### scrollHorizontallyBy
Added in [1.0.0](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/recyclerview#1.0.0)
```
public int scrollHorizontallyBy(
int dx,
RecyclerView.Recycler recycler,
RecyclerView.State state
)
```
Scroll horizontally by dx pixels in screen coordinates and return the distance traveled. The default implementation does nothing and returns 0.
| Parameters |
|---|---|
| `int dx` | distance to scroll by in pixels. X increases as scroll position approaches the right. |
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.Recycler recycler` | Recycler to use for fetching potentially cached views for a position |
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.State state` | Transient state of RecyclerView |
| Returns |
|---|---|
| `int` | The actual distance scrolled. The return value will be negative if dx was negative and scrolling proceeeded in that direction. `Math.abs(result)` may be less than dx if a boundary was reached. |
### scrollToPosition
Added in [1.0.0](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/recyclerview#1.0.0)
```
public void scrollToPosition(int position)
```
Scroll to the specified adapter position. Actual position of the item on the screen depends on the LayoutManager implementation.
| Parameters |
|---|---|
| `int position` | Scroll to this adapter position. |
### scrollVerticallyBy
Added in [1.0.0](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/recyclerview#1.0.0)
```
public int scrollVerticallyBy(
int dy,
RecyclerView.Recycler recycler,
RecyclerView.State state
)
```
Scroll vertically by dy pixels in screen coordinates and return the distance traveled. The default implementation does nothing and returns 0.
| Parameters |
|---|---|
| `int dy` | distance to scroll in pixels. Y increases as scroll position approaches the bottom. |
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.Recycler recycler` | Recycler to use for fetching potentially cached views for a position |
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.State state` | Transient state of RecyclerView |
| Returns |
|---|---|
| `int` | The actual distance scrolled. The return value will be negative if dy was negative and scrolling proceeeded in that direction. `Math.abs(result)` may be less than dy if a boundary was reached. |
### setAutoMeasureEnabled
Added in [1.0.0](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/recyclerview#1.0.0) Deprecated in [1.0.0](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/recyclerview#1.0.0)
```
public void [setAutoMeasureEnabled](https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.LayoutManager#setAutoMeasureEnabled(boolean))(boolean enabled)
```
> [!CAUTION]
> **This method is deprecated.**
>
> Implementors of LayoutManager should define whether or not it uses AutoMeasure by overriding `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.LayoutManager#isAutoMeasureEnabled()`.
Defines whether the measuring pass of layout should use the AutoMeasure mechanism of `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView` or if it should be done by the LayoutManager's implementation of `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.LayoutManager#onMeasure(androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView.Recycler,androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView.State,int,int)`.
| Parameters |
|---|---|
| `boolean enabled` | `True` if layout measurement should be done by the RecyclerView, `false` if it should be done by this LayoutManager. |

| `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.LayoutManager#isAutoMeasureEnabled()` | |
### setItemPrefetchEnabled
Added in [1.0.0](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/recyclerview#1.0.0)
```
public final void setItemPrefetchEnabled(boolean enabled)
```
Sets whether the LayoutManager should be queried for views outside of its viewport while the UI thread is idle between frames.
If enabled, the LayoutManager will be queried for items to inflate/bind in between view system traversals on devices running API 21 or greater. Default value is true.
On platforms API level 21 and higher, the UI thread is idle between passing a frame to RenderThread and the starting up its next frame at the next VSync pulse. By prefetching out of window views in this time period, delays from inflation and view binding are much less likely to cause jank and stuttering during scrolls and flings.
While prefetch is enabled, it will have the side effect of expanding the effective size of the View cache to hold prefetched views.
| Parameters |
|---|---|
| `boolean enabled` | `True` if items should be prefetched in between traversals. |
| See also |
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.LayoutManager#isItemPrefetchEnabled()` | |
### setMeasuredDimension
Added in [1.0.0](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/recyclerview#1.0.0)
```
public void setMeasuredDimension(int widthSize, int heightSize)
```
`https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.html#setMeasuredDimension(int, int)` of the host RecyclerView.
| Parameters |
|---|---|
| `int widthSize` | Measured width |
| `int heightSize` | Measured height |
### setMeasuredDimension
Added in [1.0.0](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/recyclerview#1.0.0)
```
public void setMeasuredDimension(Rect childrenBounds, int wSpec, int hSpec)
```
Sets the measured dimensions from the given bounding box of the children and the measurement specs that were passed into `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView#onMeasure(int,int)`. It is only called if a LayoutManager returns `true` from `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.LayoutManager#isAutoMeasureEnabled()` and it is called after the RecyclerView calls `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.LayoutManager#onLayoutChildren(androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView.Recycler,androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView.State)` in the execution of `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView#onMeasure(int,int)`.
This method must call `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.LayoutManager#setMeasuredDimension(int,int)`.
The default implementation adds the RecyclerView's padding to the given bounding box then caps the value to be within the given measurement specs.
| Parameters |
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/Rect.html childrenBounds` | The bounding box of all children |
| `int wSpec` | The widthMeasureSpec that was passed into the RecyclerView. |
| `int hSpec` | The heightMeasureSpec that was passed into the RecyclerView. |
| See also |
|---|---|

### setMeasurementCacheEnabled
Added in [1.0.0](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/recyclerview#1.0.0)
```
public void setMeasurementCacheEnabled(boolean measurementCacheEnabled)
```
Sets whether RecyclerView should use its own measurement cache for the children. This is a more aggressive cache than the framework uses.
| Parameters |
|---|---|
| `boolean measurementCacheEnabled` | True to enable the measurement cache, false otherwise. |
| See also |
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.LayoutManager#isMeasurementCacheEnabled()` | |
### smoothScrollToPosition
Added in [1.0.0](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/recyclerview#1.0.0)
```
public void smoothScrollToPosition(
RecyclerView recyclerView,
RecyclerView.State state,
int position
)
```
Smooth scroll to the specified adapter position.
To support smooth scrolling, override this method, create your `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.SmoothScroller` instance and call `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.LayoutManager#startSmoothScroll(androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView.SmoothScroller)`.
| Parameters |
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView recyclerView` | The RecyclerView to which this layout manager is attached |
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.State state` | Current State of RecyclerView |
| `int position` | Scroll to this adapter position. |
### startSmoothScroll
Added in [1.0.0](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/recyclerview#1.0.0)
```
public void startSmoothScroll(RecyclerView.SmoothScroller smoothScroller)
```
Starts a smooth scroll using the provided `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.SmoothScroller`.
Each instance of SmoothScroller is intended to only be used once. Provide a new SmoothScroller instance each time this method is called.
Calling this method will cancel any previous smooth scroll request.
| Parameters |
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.SmoothScroller smoothScroller` | Instance which defines how smooth scroll should be animated |
### stopIgnoringView
Added in [1.0.0](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/recyclerview#1.0.0)
```
public void stopIgnoringView(@NonNull View view)
```
View can be scrapped and recycled again.
Note that calling this method removes all information in the view holder.
You can call this method only if your LayoutManger is in onLayout or onScroll callback.
| Parameters |
|---|---|
| `@https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/annotation/NonNull https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.html view` | View to ignore. |
### supportsPredictiveItemAnimations
Added in [1.0.0](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/recyclerview#1.0.0)
```
public boolean supportsPredictiveItemAnimations()
```
Returns whether this LayoutManager supports "predictive item animations".
"Predictive item animations" are automatically created animations that show where items came from, and where they are going to, as items are added, removed, or moved within a layout.
A LayoutManager wishing to support predictive item animations must override this method to return true (the default implementation returns false) and must obey certain behavioral contracts outlined in `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.LayoutManager#onLayoutChildren(androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView.Recycler,androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView.State)`.
Whether item animations actually occur in a RecyclerView is actually determined by both the return value from this method and the `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView#setItemAnimator(androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView.ItemAnimator)` set on the RecyclerView itself. If the RecyclerView has a non-null ItemAnimator but this method returns false, then only "simple item animations" will be enabled in the RecyclerView, in which views whose position are changing are simply faded in/out. If the RecyclerView has a non-null ItemAnimator and this method returns true, then predictive item animations will be enabled in the RecyclerView.
| Returns |
|---|---|
| `boolean` | true if this LayoutManager supports predictive item animations, false otherwise. |
