Find first completely visible element in recyclerview

Question

I have a layout in which it has parallax effect. So this are the elements in it -

1. AppBarLayout
2. CollapsingToolbarLayout inside AppBarLayout
3. Toolbar inside CollapsingToolbarLayout
4. RecyclerView

All this views are within CoordinatorLayout. Now I require to find out what is the first completely visible item of RecyclerView. Normally I used following logic to get it -

int firstVisibleItem = ((LinearLayoutManager) recyclerView.getLayoutManager()).findFirstCompletelyVisibleItemPosition();

But here I am getting lots of 1 when even 0th position is not completely visible.

Answer 1

I found it myself. As I am using AppBarLayout, I need to check it out whether particular view is available on screen at that particular scroll or not.

I did is:

@Override
    public void onOffsetChanged(AppBarLayout appBarLayout, int verticalOffset) {

        View v = recyclerView.getLayoutManager().getChildAt(1);
        int offset = 0;
        if (v != null) {
            offset = v.getTop();
        }

        if ((verticalOffset * -1) >= offset) {
            layoutBuy.setVisibility(View.GONE);
        } else {
            layoutBuy.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
        }
    }

I used recyclerView.getLayoutManager().getChildAt(1); because I wanted to work around with that particular position which is 1.

Since, vertical offset becomes minus values while scrolling I multiplied it by -1. Then just checked whether offset and top of the view which I am looking for is same or not.

Thus while using parallax effect in a screen and at that same time one needs to check which view is visible in RecyclerView, needs the logic as mentioned above.
