RecyclerView Animators

RecyclerView Animators is an Android library that allows developers to easily create RecyclerView with animations.

Please feel free to use this.

Features

• Animate addition and removal of ItemAnimator
• Appearance animations for items in RecyclerView.Adapter

Demo

ItemAnimator

Adapters

How do I use it?

Setup

Gradle

On your module’s build.gradle file add this implementation statement to the dependencies section:

dependencies {
  // Kotlin
  implementation 'jp.wasabeef:recyclerview-animators:4.0.2'
}

Also make sure that the repositories section includes not only "mavenCentral()" but also a maven section with the "google()" endpoint.

repositories {
  google()
  mavenCentral()
  jcenter()
}

ItemAnimator

Step 1

Set RecyclerView ItemAnimator.

val recyclerView = findViewById<RecyclerView>(R.id.list)
recyclerView.itemAnimator = SlideInLeftAnimator()

val recyclerView = findViewById<RecyclerView>(R.id.list)
recyclerView.itemAnimator = SlideInUpAnimator(OvershootInterpolator(1f))

Step 2

Please use the following
notifyItemChanged(int)
notifyItemInserted(int)
notifyItemRemoved(int)
notifyItemRangeChanged(int, int)
notifyItemRangeInserted(int, int)
notifyItemRangeRemoved(int, int)

If you want your animations to work, do not rely on calling notifyDataSetChanged(); as it is the RecyclerView’s default behavior, animations are not triggered to start inside this method.

fun remove(position: Int) {
  dataSet.removeAt(position)
  notifyItemRemoved(position)
}

fun add(text: String, position: Int) {
  dataSet.add(position, text)
  notifyItemInserted(position)
}

Advanced Step 3

You can change the durations.

recyclerView.itemAnimator?.apply {
  addDuration = 1000
  removeDuration = 100
  moveDuration = 1000
  changeDuration = 100
}

Advanced Step 4

Change the interpolator.

recyclerView.itemAnimator = SlideInLeftAnimator().apply {
  setInterpolator(OvershootInterpolator())
}

Advanced Step 5

By implementing AnimateViewHolder, you can override preset animation. So, custom animation can be set depending on view holder.

class MyViewHolder(itemView: View) : RecyclerView.ViewHolder(itemView), AnimateViewHolder {

  override fun preAnimateRemoveImpl(holder: RecyclerView.ViewHolder) {
    // do something
  }

  override fun animateRemoveImpl(holder: RecyclerView.ViewHolder, listener: ViewPropertyAnimatorListener) {
    itemView.animate().apply {
      translationY(-itemView.height * 0.3f)
      alpha(0f)
      duration = 300
      setListener(listener)
    }.start()
  }

  override fun preAnimateAddImpl(holder: RecyclerView.ViewHolder) {
    itemView.setTranslationY(-itemView.height * 0.3f)
    itemView.setAlpha(0f)
  }

  override fun animateAddImpl(holder: RecyclerView.ViewHolder, listener: ViewPropertyAnimatorListener) {
    itemView.animate().apply {
      translationY(0f)
      alpha(1f)
      duration = 300
      setListener(listener)
    }.start()
  }
}

RecyclerView.Adapter

Step 1

Set RecyclerView ItemAnimator.

val recyclerView = findViewById<RecyclerView>(R.id.list)
recyclerView.adapter = AlphaInAnimationAdapter(MyAdapter())

Java

RecyclerView recyclerView = findViewById(R.id.list);
recyclerView.setAdapter(new AlphaInAnimationAdapter(MyAdapter());

Advanced Step 2

recyclerView.adapter = AlphaInAnimationAdapter(MyAdapter()).apply {
  // Change the durations.
  setDuration(1000)
  // Change the interpolator.
  setInterpolator(vershootInterpolator())
  // Disable the first scroll mode.
  setFirstOnly(false)
}

Java

AlphaInAnimationAdapter alphaInAnimationAdapter = new AlphaInAnimationAdapter(new MyAdapter());
alphaInAnimationAdapter.setDuration(1000);
alphaInAnimationAdapter.setInterpolator(new OvershootInterpolator());
alphaInAnimationAdapter.setFirstOnly(false);

Advanced Step 3

Multiple Animations

val alphaAdapter = AlphaInAnimationAdapter(MyAdapter())
recyclerView.adapter = ScaleInAnimationAdapter(alphaAdapter)

Java

recyclerView.setAdapter(new ScaleInAnimationAdapter(alphaInAnimationAdapter));
