*** ** * ** ***

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 `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/StaggeredGridLayoutManager#setGapStrategy(int)`.

If you need to cancel current assignments, you can call this method which will clear all assignments and request a new layout.

### isAutoMeasureEnabled

```
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.

More specifically:

1. 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)`. |

The LayoutManager may use this opportunity to clear caches and configure state such that it can relayout appropriately with the new data and potentially new view types.

The default implementation removes all currently attached views.

| Parameters |
|---|---|
| `@https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/annotation/Nullable https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.Adapter oldAdapter` | The previous adapter instance. Will be null if there was previously no adapter. |

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

```
public @Nullable View onFocusSearchFailed(
    View focused,
    int direction,
    RecyclerView.Recycler recycler,
    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/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/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.Recycler recycler` | The recycler to use for obtaining views for currently offscreen items |
| `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. |

### onItemsAdded

```
public void onItemsAdded(
    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

```
public void onItemsChanged(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

```
public void onItemsMoved(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

```
public void onItemsRemoved(
    RecyclerView recyclerView,
    int positionStart,
    int itemCount
)
```

Called when items have been removed from the adapter.

### onItemsUpdated

```
public void onItemsUpdated(
    RecyclerView recyclerView,
    int positionStart,
    int itemCount,
    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

```
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

```
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 |

### onRestoreInstanceState

```
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

```
public 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/android/os/Parcelable.html` | Necessary information for LayoutManager to be able to restore its state |

### onScrollStateChanged

```
public void onScrollStateChanged(int state)
```

RecyclerView calls this method to notify LayoutManager that scroll state has changed.

| Parameters |
|---|---|
| `int state` | The new scroll state for RecyclerView |

### scrollHorizontallyBy

```
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

```
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. |

### scrollToPositionWithOffset

Added in [1.0.0](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/recyclerview#1.0.0)

```
public void scrollToPositionWithOffset(int position, int offset)
```

Scroll to the specified adapter position with the given offset from layout start.

Note that scroll position change will not be reflected until the next layout call.

If you are just trying to make a position visible, use `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/StaggeredGridLayoutManager#scrollToPosition(int)`.

| Parameters |
|---|---|
| `int position` | Index (starting at 0) of the reference item. |
| `int offset` | The distance (in pixels) between the start edge of the item view and start edge of the RecyclerView. |

### scrollVerticallyBy

```
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. |

### setGapStrategy

Added in [1.0.0](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/recyclerview#1.0.0)

```
public void setGapStrategy(int gapStrategy)
```

Sets the gap handling strategy for StaggeredGridLayoutManager. If the gapStrategy parameter is different than the current strategy, calling this method will trigger a layout request.

| Parameters |
|---|---|
| `int gapStrategy` | The new gap handling strategy. Should be `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/StaggeredGridLayoutManager#GAP_HANDLING_MOVE_ITEMS_BETWEEN_SPANS()` or `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/StaggeredGridLayoutManager#GAP_HANDLING_NONE()`. |

|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/StaggeredGridLayoutManager#getGapStrategy()` |   |

### setMeasuredDimension

```
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 |
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.LayoutManager#isAutoMeasureEnabled()` |   |
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView.LayoutManager#setMeasuredDimension(int,int)` |   |

### setOrientation

Added in [1.0.0](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/recyclerview#1.0.0)

```
public void setOrientation(int orientation)
```

Sets the orientation of the layout. StaggeredGridLayoutManager will do its best to keep scroll position if this method is called after views are laid out.

| Parameters |
|---|---|
| `int orientation` | `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/StaggeredGridLayoutManager#HORIZONTAL()` or `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/StaggeredGridLayoutManager#VERTICAL()` |

### setReverseLayout

Added in [1.0.0](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/recyclerview#1.0.0)

```
public void setReverseLayout(boolean reverseLayout)
```

Sets whether LayoutManager should start laying out items from the end of the UI. The order items are traversed is not affected by this call.

For vertical layout, if it is set to `true`, first item will be at the bottom of the list.

For horizontal layouts, it depends on the layout direction. When set to true, If `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView` is LTR, than it will layout from RTL, if `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView`} is RTL, it will layout from LTR.

| Parameters |
|---|---|
| `boolean reverseLayout` | Whether layout should be in reverse or not |

### setSpanCount

Added in [1.0.0](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/recyclerview#1.0.0)

```
public void setSpanCount(int spanCount)
```

Sets the number of spans for the layout. This will invalidate all of the span assignments for Views.

Calling this method will automatically result in a new layout request unless the spanCount parameter is equal to current span count.

| Parameters |
|---|---|
| `int spanCount` | Number of spans to layout |

### smoothScrollToPosition

```
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. |

### supportsPredictiveItemAnimations

```
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. |
