`setSpanCount`

getSpanSizeLookup

Added in 1.0.0

public GridLayoutManager.SpanSizeLookup getSpanSizeLookup()

isUsingSpansToEstimateScrollbarDimensions

Added in 1.1.0

public boolean isUsingSpansToEstimateScrollbarDimensions()

Returns true if the scroll offset and scroll range calculations take account of span information. See setUsingSpansToEstimateScrollbarDimensions for more information on this topic. Defaults to false.

Returns
`boolean`	true if the scroll offset and scroll range calculations take account of span information.

public 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
`View focused`	The currently focused view
`int direction`	One of `FOCUS_UP`, `FOCUS_DOWN`, `FOCUS_LEFT`, `FOCUS_RIGHT`, `FOCUS_BACKWARD`, `FOCUS_FORWARD` or 0 for not applicable
`RecyclerView.Recycler recycler`	The recycler to use for obtaining views for currently offscreen items
`RecyclerView.State state`	Transient state of RecyclerView

Returns
`View`	The chosen view to be focused if a focusable view is found, otherwise an unfocusable view to become visible onto the screen, else null.

public void onInitializeAccessibilityNodeInfo(
    @NonNull RecyclerView.Recycler recycler,
    @NonNull RecyclerView.State state,
    @NonNull AccessibilityNodeInfoCompat info
)

Called by the AccessibilityDelegate when the information about the current layout should be populated.

Default implementation adds a androidx.core.view.accessibility.AccessibilityNodeInfoCompat.CollectionInfoCompat.

You should override getRowCountForAccessibility, getColumnCountForAccessibility, isLayoutHierarchical and getSelectionModeForAccessibility for more accurate accessibility information.

Parameters
`@NonNull RecyclerView.Recycler recycler`	The Recycler that can be used to convert view positions into adapter positions
`@NonNull RecyclerView.State state`	The current state of RecyclerView
`@NonNull AccessibilityNodeInfoCompat info`	The info that should be filled by the LayoutManager

public void onInitializeAccessibilityNodeInfoForItem(
    RecyclerView.Recycler recycler,
    RecyclerView.State state,
    View host,
    AccessibilityNodeInfoCompat info
)

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

Default implementation adds basic positioning information about the item.

Parameters
`RecyclerView.Recycler recycler`	The Recycler that can be used to convert view positions into adapter positions
`RecyclerView.State state`	The current state of RecyclerView
`View host`	The child for which accessibility node info should be populated
`AccessibilityNodeInfoCompat info`	The info to fill out about the item

See also
`onInitializeAccessibilityNodeInfoForItem`

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.)

public void onItemsChanged(RecyclerView recyclerView)

Called in response to a call to notifyDataSetChanged or swapAdapter ()} and signals that the the entire data set has changed.

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 notifyItemMoved is called.

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

Called when items have been removed from the adapter.

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 onItemsUpdated.

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 #getItemAnimator() ItemAnimator, 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 #supportsPredictiveItemAnimations(), which is the default, and runs a normal layout operation during #onLayoutChildren(Recycler, State), the RecyclerView will have enough information to run those animations in a simple way. For example, the default ItemAnimator, , 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 #supportsPredictiveItemAnimations() and add additional logic to #onLayoutChildren(Recycler, State). Supporting predictive animations means that #onLayoutChildren(Recycler, 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, LayoutParams#isItemRemoved() removed 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 #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.

public void onLayoutCompleted(RecyclerView.State state)

Called after a full layout calculation is finished. The layout calculation may include multiple onLayoutChildren calls due to animations or layout measurement but it will include only one onLayoutCompleted call. This method will be called at the end of layout call.

This is a good place for the LayoutManager to do some cleanup like pending scroll position, saved state etc.

Parameters
`RecyclerView.State state`	Transient state of RecyclerView

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.

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.

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 onMeasure. It is only called if a LayoutManager returns true from isAutoMeasureEnabled and it is called after the RecyclerView calls onLayoutChildren in the execution of onMeasure.

This method must call setMeasuredDimension.

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
`Rect 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.

`isAutoMeasureEnabled`
`setMeasuredDimension`

setSpanCount

Added in 1.0.0

public void setSpanCount(int spanCount)

Sets the number of spans to be laid out.

If getOrientation is VERTICAL, this is the number of columns. If getOrientation is HORIZONTAL, this is the number of rows.

Parameters
`int spanCount`	The total number of spans in the grid

See also
`getSpanCount`

Added in 1.0.0

public void setSpanSizeLookup(GridLayoutManager.SpanSizeLookup spanSizeLookup)

Sets the source to get the number of spans occupied by each item in the adapter.

Parameters
`GridLayoutManager.SpanSizeLookup spanSizeLookup`	`SpanSizeLookup` instance to be used to query number of spans occupied by each item

setStackFromEnd

public void setStackFromEnd(boolean stackFromEnd)

stackFromEnd is not supported by GridLayoutManager. Consider using setReverseLayout.

setUsingSpansToEstimateScrollbarDimensions

Added in 1.1.0

public void setUsingSpansToEstimateScrollbarDimensions(
    boolean useSpansToEstimateScrollBarDimensions
)

When this flag is set, the scroll offset and scroll range calculations will take account of span information.

This is will increase the accuracy of the scroll bar's size and offset but will require more calls to getSpanGroupIndex".

This additional accuracy may or may not be needed, depending on the characteristics of your layout. You will likely benefit from this accuracy when:

The variation in item span sizes is large.
The size of your data set is small (if your data set is large, the scrollbar will likely be very small anyway, and thus the increased accuracy has less impact).
Calls to getSpanGroupIndex are fast.

If you decide to enable this feature, you should be sure that calls to getSpanGroupIndex are fast, that set span group index caching is set to true via a call to and span index caching is also enabled via a call to { }.

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 onLayoutChildren.

Whether item animations actually occur in a RecyclerView is actually determined by both the return value from this method and the 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.
