A flexible view for providing a limited window into a large data set.

Glossary of terms:

Adapter: A subclass of Adapter responsible for providing views that represent items in a data set.
Position: The position of a data item within an Adapter.
Index: The index of an attached child view as used in a call to ViewGroup#getChildAt. Contrast with Position.
Binding: The process of preparing a child view to display data corresponding to a position within the adapter.
Recycle (view): A view previously used to display data for a specific adapter position may be placed in a cache for later reuse to display the same type of data again later. This can drastically improve performance by skipping initial layout inflation or construction.
Scrap (view): A child view that has entered into a temporarily detached state during layout. Scrap views may be reused without becoming fully detached from the parent RecyclerView, either unmodified if no rebinding is required or modified by the adapter if the view was considered dirty.
Dirty (view): A child view that must be rebound by the adapter before being displayed.

Positions in RecyclerView:

RecyclerView introduces an additional level of abstraction between the Adapter and LayoutManager to be able to detect data set changes in batches during a layout calculation. This saves LayoutManager from tracking adapter changes to calculate animations. It also helps with performance because all view bindings happen at the same time and unnecessary bindings are avoided.

For this reason, there are two types of position related methods in RecyclerView:

layout position: Position of an item in the latest layout calculation. This is the position from the LayoutManager's perspective.
adapter position: Position of an item in the adapter. This is the position from the Adapter's perspective.

These two positions are the same except the time between dispatching adapter.notify* events and calculating the updated layout.

Methods that return or receive *LayoutPosition* use position as of the latest layout calculation (e.g. ViewHolder#getLayoutPosition(), findViewHolderForLayoutPosition(int)). These positions include all changes until the last layout calculation. You can rely on these positions to be consistent with what user is currently seeing on the screen. For example, if you have a list of items on the screen and user asks for the 5th element, you should use these methods as they'll match what user is seeing.

The other set of position related methods are in the form of *AdapterPosition*. (e.g. ViewHolder#getAdapterPosition(), findViewHolderForAdapterPosition(int)) You should use these methods when you need to work with up-to-date adapter positions even if they may not have been reflected to layout yet. For example, if you want to access the item in the adapter on a ViewHolder click, you should use ViewHolder#getAdapterPosition(). Beware that these methods may not be able to calculate adapter positions if Adapter#notifyDataSetChanged() has been called and new layout has not yet been calculated. For this reasons, you should carefully handle NO_POSITION or null results from these methods.

When writing a LayoutManager you almost always want to use layout positions whereas when writing an Adapter, you probably want to use adapter positions.

Presenting Dynamic Data

To display updatable data in a RecyclerView, your adapter needs to signal inserts, moves, and deletions to RecyclerView. You can build this yourself by manually calling adapter.notify* methods when content changes, or you can use one of the easier solutions RecyclerView provides:

List diffing with DiffUtil

If your RecyclerView is displaying a list that is re-fetched from scratch for each update (e.g. from the network, or from a database), DiffUtil can calculate the difference between versions of the list. DiffUtil takes both lists as input and computes the difference, which can be passed to RecyclerView to trigger minimal animations and updates to keep your UI performant, and animations meaningful. This approach requires that each list is represented in memory with immutable content, and relies on receiving updates as new instances of lists. This approach is also ideal if your UI layer doesn't implement sorting, it just presents the data in the order it's given.

The best part of this approach is that it extends to any arbitrary changes - item updates, moves, addition and removal can all be computed and handled the same way. Though you do have to keep two copies of the list in memory while diffing, and must avoid mutating them, it's possible to share unmodified elements between list versions.

There are three primary ways to do this for RecyclerView. We recommend you start with ListAdapter, the higher-level API that builds in List diffing on a background thread, with minimal code. AsyncListDiffer also provides this behavior, but without defining an Adapter to subclass. If you want more control, DiffUtil is the lower-level API you can use to compute the diffs yourself. Each approach allows you to specify how diffs should be computed based on item data.

List mutation with SortedList

If your RecyclerView receives updates incrementally, e.g. item X is inserted, or item Y is removed, you can use SortedList to manage your list. You define how to order items, and it will automatically trigger update signals that RecyclerView can use. SortedList works if you only need to handle insert and remove events, and has the benefit that you only ever need to have a single copy of the list in memory. It can also compute differences with SortedList#replaceAll(Object[]), but this method is more limited than the list diffing behavior above.

Paging Library

The Paging library extends the diff-based approach to additionally support paged loading. It provides the androidx.paging.PagedList class that operates as a self-loading list, provided a source of data like a database, or paginated network API. It provides convenient list diffing support out of the box, similar to ListAdapter and AsyncListDiffer. For more information about the Paging library, see the library documentation. androidx.recyclerview.R.attr#layoutManager

addFocusables

open fun addFocusables(views: ArrayList<View!>!, direction: Int, focusableMode: Int): Unit

addItemDecoration

open fun addItemDecoration(@NonNull decor: RecyclerView.ItemDecoration, index: Int): Unit

Add an ItemDecoration to this RecyclerView. Item decorations can affect both measurement and drawing of individual item views.

Item decorations are ordered. Decorations placed earlier in the list will be run/queried/drawn first for their effects on item views. Padding added to views will be nested; a padding added by an earlier decoration will mean further item decorations in the list will be asked to draw/pad within the previous decoration's given area.

Parameters
`decor`	RecyclerView.ItemDecoration: Decoration to add
`index`	RecyclerView.ItemDecoration: Position in the decoration chain to insert this decoration at. If this value is negative the decoration will be added at the end.

addItemDecoration

open fun addItemDecoration(@NonNull decor: RecyclerView.ItemDecoration): Unit

Add an ItemDecoration to this RecyclerView. Item decorations can affect both measurement and drawing of individual item views.

Parameters
`decor`	RecyclerView.ItemDecoration: Decoration to add

addOnChildAttachStateChangeListener

open fun addOnChildAttachStateChangeListener(@NonNull listener: RecyclerView.OnChildAttachStateChangeListener): Unit

This listener will be called when a LayoutManager or the RecyclerView decides that a child view is no longer needed. If an application associates expensive or heavyweight data with item views, this may be a good place to release or free those resources.

Parameters
`listener`	RecyclerView.OnChildAttachStateChangeListener: Listener to register

addOnItemTouchListener

open fun addOnItemTouchListener(@NonNull listener: RecyclerView.OnItemTouchListener): Unit

Add an OnItemTouchListener to intercept touch events before they are dispatched to child views or this view's standard scrolling behavior.

Client code may use listeners to implement item manipulation behavior. Once a listener returns true from OnItemTouchListener#onInterceptTouchEvent(RecyclerView, MotionEvent) its OnItemTouchListener#onTouchEvent(RecyclerView, MotionEvent) method will be called for each incoming MotionEvent until the end of the gesture.

Parameters
`listener`	RecyclerView.OnItemTouchListener: Listener to add

See Also

SimpleOnItemTouchListener

addOnScrollListener

open fun addOnScrollListener(@NonNull listener: RecyclerView.OnScrollListener): Unit

Add a listener that will be notified of any changes in scroll state or position.

Components that add a listener should take care to remove it when finished. Other components that take ownership of a view may call clearOnScrollListeners() to remove all attached listeners.

Parameters
`listener`	RecyclerView.OnScrollListener: listener to set

clearOnChildAttachStateChangeListeners

open fun clearOnChildAttachStateChangeListeners(): Unit

Removes all listeners that were added via addOnChildAttachStateChangeListener(OnChildAttachStateChangeListener).

Return
View?: The child view under (x, y) or null if no matching child is found

findContainingItemView

@Nullable open fun findContainingItemView(@NonNull view: View): View?

Traverses the ancestors of the given view and returns the item view that contains it and also a direct child of the RecyclerView. This returned view can be used to get the ViewHolder by calling getChildViewHolder(View).

Parameters
`view`	View: The view that is a descendant of the RecyclerView.

Return
View?: The direct child of the RecyclerView which contains the given view or null if the provided view is not a descendant of this RecyclerView.

#getChildViewHolder(View)#findContainingViewHolder(View)

findContainingViewHolder

@Nullable open fun findContainingViewHolder(@NonNull view: View): RecyclerView.ViewHolder?

Returns the ViewHolder that contains the given view.

Parameters
`view`	View: The view that is a descendant of the RecyclerView.

Return
RecyclerView.ViewHolder?: The ViewHolder that contains the given view or null if the provided view is not a descendant of this RecyclerView.

findViewHolderForAdapterPosition

@Nullable open fun findViewHolderForAdapterPosition(position: Int): RecyclerView.ViewHolder?

Return the ViewHolder for the item in the given position of the data set. Unlike findViewHolderForLayoutPosition(int) this method takes into account any pending adapter changes that may not be reflected to the layout yet. On the other hand, if Adapter#notifyDataSetChanged() has been called but the new layout has not been calculated yet, this method will return null since the new positions of views are unknown until the layout is calculated.

This method checks only the children of RecyclerView. If the item at the given position is not laid out, it will not create a new one.

When the ItemAnimator is running a change animation, there might be 2 ViewHolders representing the same Item. In this case, the updated ViewHolder will be returned.

Parameters
`position`	Int: The position of the item in the data set of the adapter

Return
RecyclerView.ViewHolder?: The ViewHolder at `position` or null if there is no such item

findViewHolderForItemId

open fun findViewHolderForItemId(id: Long): RecyclerView.ViewHolder!

Return the ViewHolder for the item with the given id. The RecyclerView must use an Adapter with stableIds to return a non-null value.

This method checks only the children of RecyclerView. If the item with the given id is not laid out, it will not create a new one. When the ItemAnimator is running a change animation, there might be 2 ViewHolders with the same id. In this case, the updated ViewHolder will be returned.

Parameters
`id`	Long: The id for the requested item

Return
RecyclerView.ViewHolder!: The ViewHolder with the given `id` or null if there is no such item

findViewHolderForLayoutPosition

@Nullable open fun findViewHolderForLayoutPosition(position: Int): RecyclerView.ViewHolder?

Return the ViewHolder for the item in the given position of the data set as of the latest layout pass.

This method checks only the children of RecyclerView. If the item at the given position is not laid out, it will not create a new one.

Note that when Adapter contents change, ViewHolder positions are not updated until the next layout calculation. If there are pending adapter updates, the return value of this method may not match your adapter contents. You can use #ViewHolder#getAdapterPosition() to get the current adapter position of a ViewHolder.

When the ItemAnimator is running a change animation, there might be 2 ViewHolders with the same layout position representing the same Item. In this case, the updated ViewHolder will be returned.

Parameters
`position`	Int: The position of the item in the data set of the adapter

Return
RecyclerView.ViewHolder?: The ViewHolder at `position` or null if there is no such item

findViewHolderForPosition

@Nullable open fun findViewHolderForPosition(position: Int): RecyclerView.ViewHolder?

Deprecated: use findViewHolderForLayoutPosition(int) or findViewHolderForAdapterPosition(int)

fling

open fun fling(velocityX: Int, velocityY: Int): Boolean

Begin a standard fling with an initial velocity along each axis in pixels per second. If the velocity given is below the system-defined minimum this method will return false and no fling will occur.

Parameters
`velocityX`	Int: Initial horizontal velocity in pixels per second
`velocityY`	Int: Initial vertical velocity in pixels per second

Return
Boolean: true if the fling was started, false if the velocity was too low to fling or LayoutManager does not support scrolling in the axis fling is issued.

focusSearch

open fun focusSearch(focused: View!, direction: Int): View!

Since RecyclerView is a collection ViewGroup that includes virtual children (items that are in the Adapter but not visible in the UI), it employs a more involved focus search strategy that differs from other ViewGroups.

It first does a focus search within the RecyclerView. If this search finds a View that is in the focus direction with respect to the currently focused View, RecyclerView returns that child as the next focus target. When it cannot find such child, it calls LayoutManager#onFocusSearchFailed(View, int, Recycler, State) to layout more Views in the focus search direction. If LayoutManager adds a View that matches the focus search criteria, it will be returned as the focus search result. Otherwise, RecyclerView will call parent to handle the focus search like a regular ViewGroup.

When the direction is View#FOCUS_FORWARD or View#FOCUS_BACKWARD, a View that is not in the focus direction is still valid focus target which may not be the desired behavior if the Adapter has more children in the focus direction. To handle this case, RecyclerView converts the focus direction to an absolute direction and makes a preliminary focus search in that direction. If there are no Views to gain focus, it will call LayoutManager#onFocusSearchFailed(View, int, Recycler, State) before running a focus search with the original (relative) direction. This allows RecyclerView to provide better candidates to the focus search while still allowing the view system to take focus from the RecyclerView and give it to a more suitable child if such child exists.

Parameters
`focused`	View!: The view that currently has focus
`direction`	View!: One of `View#FOCUS_UP`, `View#FOCUS_DOWN`, `View#FOCUS_LEFT`, `View#FOCUS_RIGHT`, `View#FOCUS_FORWARD`, `View#FOCUS_BACKWARD` or 0 for not applicable.

Return
View!: A new View that can be the next focus after the focused View

hasNestedScrollingParent

open fun hasNestedScrollingParent(): Boolean

hasNestedScrollingParent

open fun hasNestedScrollingParent(type: Int): Boolean

hasPendingAdapterUpdates

open fun hasPendingAdapterUpdates(): Boolean

Returns whether there are pending adapter updates which are not yet applied to the layout.

If this method returns true, it means that what user is currently seeing may not reflect them adapter contents (depending on what has changed). You may use this information to defer or cancel some operations.

This method returns true if RecyclerView has not yet calculated the first layout after it is attached to the Window or the Adapter has been replaced.

Return
Boolean: True if there are some adapter updates which are not yet reflected to layout or false if layout is up to date.

open fun invalidateItemDecorations(): Unit

Invalidates all ItemDecorations. If RecyclerView has item decorations, calling this method will trigger a requestLayout() call.

isAnimating

open fun isAnimating(): Boolean

Returns true if RecyclerView is currently running some animations.

If you want to be notified when animations are finished, use ItemAnimator#isRunning(ItemAnimator.ItemAnimatorFinishedListener).

Return
Boolean: True if there are some item animations currently running or waiting to be started.

isAttachedToWindow

open fun isAttachedToWindow(): Boolean

Returns true if RecyclerView is attached to window.

isComputingLayout

open fun isComputingLayout(): Boolean

Returns whether RecyclerView is currently computing a layout.

If this method returns true, it means that RecyclerView is in a lockdown state and any attempt to update adapter contents will result in an exception because adapter contents cannot be changed while RecyclerView is trying to compute the layout.

It is very unlikely that your code will be running during this state as it is called by the framework when a layout traversal happens or RecyclerView starts to scroll in response to system events (touch, accessibility etc).

This case may happen if you have some custom logic to change adapter contents in response to a View callback (e.g. focus change callback) which might be triggered during a layout calculation. In these cases, you should just postpone the change using a Handler or a similar mechanism.

Return
Boolean: `true` if RecyclerView is currently computing a layout, `false` otherwise

isLayoutFrozen

open fun isLayoutFrozen(): Boolean

Deprecated: Use isLayoutSuppressed().

Return
Boolean: true if layout and scroll are frozen

isLayoutSuppressed

Return
Boolean: true if layout and scroll are currently suppressed, false otherwise.

isNestedScrollingEnabled

open fun isNestedScrollingEnabled(): Boolean

offsetChildrenHorizontal

open fun offsetChildrenHorizontal(@Px dx: Int): Unit

Offset the bounds of all child views by dx pixels. Useful for implementing simple scrolling in LayoutManagers.

Parameters
`dx`	Int: Horizontal pixel offset to apply to the bounds of all child views

offsetChildrenVertical

open fun offsetChildrenVertical(@Px dy: Int): Unit

Offset the bounds of all child views by dy pixels. Useful for implementing simple scrolling in LayoutManagers.

Parameters
`dy`	Int: Vertical pixel offset to apply to the bounds of all child views

onChildAttachedToWindow

open fun onChildAttachedToWindow(@NonNull child: View): Unit

Called when an item view is attached to this RecyclerView.

Subclasses of RecyclerView may want to perform extra bookkeeping or modifications of child views as they become attached. This will be called before a LayoutManager measures or lays out the view and is a good time to perform these changes.

Parameters
`child`	View: Child view that is now attached to this RecyclerView and its associated window

onChildDetachedFromWindow

open fun onChildDetachedFromWindow(@NonNull child: View): Unit

Called when an item view is detached from this RecyclerView.

Subclasses of RecyclerView may want to perform extra bookkeeping or modifications of child views as they become detached. This will be called as a LayoutManager fully detaches the child view from the parent and its window.

Parameters
`child`	View: Child view that is now detached from this RecyclerView and its associated window

onDraw

open fun onDraw(c: Canvas!): Unit

onGenericMotionEvent

open fun onGenericMotionEvent(event: MotionEvent!): Boolean

onInterceptTouchEvent

open fun onInterceptTouchEvent(e: MotionEvent!): Boolean

onScrollStateChanged

open fun onScrollStateChanged(state: Int): Unit

Called when the scroll state of this RecyclerView changes. Subclasses should use this method to respond to state changes instead of an explicit listener.

This method will always be invoked before listeners, but after the LayoutManager responds to the scroll state change.

Parameters
`state`	Int: the new scroll state, one of `SCROLL_STATE_IDLE`, `SCROLL_STATE_DRAGGING` or `SCROLL_STATE_SETTLING`

onScrolled

open fun onScrolled(@Px dx: Int, @Px dy: Int): Unit

Called when the scroll position of this RecyclerView changes. Subclasses should use this method to respond to scrolling within the adapter's data set instead of an explicit listener.

This method will always be invoked before listeners. If a subclass needs to perform any additional upkeep or bookkeeping after scrolling but before listeners run, this is a good place to do so.

This differs from View#onScrollChanged(int, int, int, int) in that it receives the distance scrolled in either direction within the adapter's data set instead of absolute scroll coordinates. Since RecyclerView cannot compute the absolute scroll position from any arbitrary point in the data set, onScrollChanged will always receive the current View#getScrollX() and View#getScrollY() values which do not correspond to the data set scroll position. However, some subclasses may choose to use these fields as special offsets.

Parameters
`dx`	Int: horizontal distance scrolled in pixels
`dy`	Int: vertical distance scrolled in pixels

onTouchEvent

open fun onTouchEvent(e: MotionEvent!): Boolean

removeItemDecoration

See Also

#swapAdapter(Adapter, boolean)

setChildDrawingOrderCallback

open fun setChildDrawingOrderCallback(@Nullable childDrawingOrderCallback: RecyclerView.ChildDrawingOrderCallback?): Unit

Sets the ChildDrawingOrderCallback to be used for drawing children.

See ViewGroup#getChildDrawingOrder(int, int) for details. Calling this method will always call ViewGroup#setChildrenDrawingOrderEnabled(boolean). The parameter will be true if childDrawingOrderCallback is not null, false otherwise.

Parameters
`edgeEffectFactory`	RecyclerView.EdgeEffectFactory: The `EdgeEffectFactory` instance.

setHasFixedSize

open fun setHasFixedSize(hasFixedSize: Boolean): Unit

RecyclerView can perform several optimizations if it can know in advance that RecyclerView's size is not affected by the adapter contents. RecyclerView can still change its size based on other factors (e.g. its parent's size) but this size calculation cannot depend on the size of its children or contents of its adapter (except the number of items in the adapter).

If your use of RecyclerView falls into this category, set this to true. It will allow RecyclerView to avoid invalidating the whole layout when its adapter contents change.

Parameters
`hasFixedSize`	Boolean: true if adapter changes cannot affect the size of the RecyclerView.

setItemAnimator

open fun setItemAnimator(@Nullable animator: RecyclerView.ItemAnimator?): Unit

Sets the ItemAnimator that will handle animations involving changes to the items in this RecyclerView. By default, RecyclerView instantiates and uses an instance of DefaultItemAnimator. Whether item animations are enabled for the RecyclerView depends on the ItemAnimator and whether the LayoutManager supports item animations.

Parameters
`animator`	RecyclerView.ItemAnimator?: The ItemAnimator being set. If null, no animations will occur when changes occur to the items in this RecyclerView.

setItemViewCacheSize

open fun setItemViewCacheSize(size: Int): Unit

Set the number of offscreen views to retain before adding them to the potentially shared recycled view pool.

The offscreen view cache stays aware of changes in the attached adapter, allowing a LayoutManager to reuse those views unmodified without needing to return to the adapter to rebind them.

Parameters
`size`	Int: Number of views to cache offscreen before returning them to the general recycled view pool

setLayoutFrozen

open fun setLayoutFrozen(frozen: Boolean): Unit

Deprecated: Use suppressLayout(boolean).

Enable or disable layout and scroll. After setLayoutFrozen(true) is called, Layout requests will be postponed until setLayoutFrozen(false) is called; child views are not updated when RecyclerView is frozen, smoothScrollBy(int, int), scrollBy(int, int), scrollToPosition(int) and smoothScrollToPosition(int) are dropped; TouchEvents and GenericMotionEvents are dropped; LayoutManager#onFocusSearchFailed(View, int, Recycler, State) will not be called.

setLayoutFrozen(true) does not prevent app from directly calling , LayoutManager#smoothScrollToPosition( * RecyclerView, State, int).

setAdapter(Adapter) and swapAdapter(Adapter, boolean) will automatically stop frozen.

Note: Running ItemAnimator is not stopped automatically, it's caller's responsibility to call ItemAnimator.end().

Parameters
`frozen`	Boolean: true to freeze layout and scroll, false to re-enable.

setLayoutManager

open fun setLayoutManager(@Nullable layout: RecyclerView.LayoutManager?): Unit

Set the LayoutManager that this RecyclerView will use.

In contrast to other adapter-backed views such as android.widget.ListView or android.widget.GridView, RecyclerView allows client code to provide custom layout arrangements for child views. These arrangements are controlled by the LayoutManager. A LayoutManager must be provided for RecyclerView to function.

Several default strategies are provided for common uses such as lists and grids.

Parameters
`layout`	RecyclerView.LayoutManager?: LayoutManager to use

setLayoutTransition

open fun setLayoutTransition(transition: LayoutTransition!): Unit

Deprecated: Use setItemAnimator(ItemAnimator) ()}.

If the OnFlingListener is set then it will receive calls to fling(int,int) and will be able to intercept them.

Parameters
`onFlingListener`	RecyclerView.OnFlingListener?: The `OnFlingListener` instance.

setOnScrollListener

open fun setOnScrollListener(@Nullable listener: RecyclerView.OnScrollListener?): Unit

Deprecated: Use addOnScrollListener(OnScrollListener) and removeOnScrollListener(OnScrollListener)

Set a listener that will be notified of any changes in scroll state or position.

Parameters
`listener`	RecyclerView.OnScrollListener?: Listener to set or null to clear

setPreserveFocusAfterLayout

open fun setPreserveFocusAfterLayout(preserveFocusAfterLayout: Boolean): Unit

Set whether the RecyclerView should try to keep the same Item focused after a layout calculation or not.

Usually, LayoutManagers keep focused views visible before and after layout but sometimes, views may lose focus during a layout calculation as their state changes or they are replaced with another view due to type change or animation. In these cases, RecyclerView can request focus on the new view automatically.

Parameters
`preserveFocusAfterLayout`	Boolean: Whether RecyclerView should preserve focused Item during a layout calculations. Defaults to true.

See Also

#getPreserveFocusAfterLayout()

setRecycledViewPool

open fun setRecycledViewPool(@Nullable pool: RecyclerView.RecycledViewPool?): Unit

Recycled view pools allow multiple RecyclerViews to share a common pool of scrap views.

`interpolator`	Int: `Interpolator` to be used for scrolling. If it is `null`, RecyclerView will use an internal default interpolator.
`duration`	Int: Duration of the animation in milliseconds. Set to `UNDEFINED_DURATION` to have the duration be automatically calculated based on an internally defined standard initial velocity. A duration less than 1 (that does not equal UNDEFINED_DURATION), will result in a call to `scrollBy(int, int)`.

smoothScrollToPosition

open fun smoothScrollToPosition(position: Int): Unit

Starts a smooth scroll to an adapter position.

To support smooth scrolling, you must override LayoutManager#smoothScrollToPosition(RecyclerView, State, int) and create a SmoothScroller.

LayoutManager is responsible for creating the actual scroll action. If you want to provide a custom smooth scroll logic, override LayoutManager#smoothScrollToPosition(RecyclerView, State, int) in your LayoutManager.

suppressLayout

fun suppressLayout(suppress: Boolean): Unit

Tells this RecyclerView to suppress all layout and scroll calls until layout suppression is disabled with a later call to suppressLayout(false). When layout suppression is disabled, a requestLayout() call is sent if requestLayout() was attempted while layout was being suppressed.

In addition to the layout suppression smoothScrollBy(int, int), scrollBy(int, int), scrollToPosition(int) and smoothScrollToPosition(int) are dropped; TouchEvents and GenericMotionEvents are dropped; LayoutManager#onFocusSearchFailed(View, int, Recycler, State) will not be called.

suppressLayout(true) does not prevent app from directly calling , LayoutManager#smoothScrollToPosition( * RecyclerView, State, int).

setAdapter(Adapter) and swapAdapter(Adapter, boolean) will automatically stop suppressing.

Note: Running ItemAnimator is not stopped automatically, it's caller's responsibility to call ItemAnimator.end().

Parameters
`suppress`	Boolean: true to suppress layout and scroll, false to re-enable.

swapAdapter

open fun swapAdapter(@Nullable adapter: RecyclerView.Adapter<RecyclerView.ViewHolder!>?, removeAndRecycleExistingViews: Boolean): Unit

Swaps the current adapter with the provided one. It is similar to setAdapter(Adapter) but assumes existing adapter and the new adapter uses the same ViewHolder and does not clear the RecycledViewPool.

Note that it still calls onAdapterChanged callbacks.

Parameters
`adapter`	RecyclerView.Adapter<RecyclerView.ViewHolder!>?: The new adapter to set, or null to set no adapter.
`removeAndRecycleExistingViews`	RecyclerView.Adapter<RecyclerView.ViewHolder!>?: If set to true, RecyclerView will recycle all existing Views. If adapters have stable ids and/or you want to animate the disappearing views, you may prefer to set this to false.
