How to Limit Number of Items in RecyclerView?

Question

How can I limit the number of items displayed by the RecyclerView ?

I can limit the amount inserted it if I override getChildCount, but that causes it to only insert that number and then stop. I want it to keep inserting/scrolling, but only display X number of items.

(Note: The height of each item can differ, so it's important that the limit is based on quantity rather than some hard coded value.)

Answer 1

Inside your Recyclerview's adapter class;

private final int limit = 10;


 @Override
public int getItemCount() {
    if(ad_list.size() > limit){
        return limit;
    }
    else
    {
        return ad_list.size();
    }

}

Answer 2

In your Adapter, just set a limit,

   @Override
        public int getItemCount() {
            int limit = 5;
            return Math.min(diseasesList.size(), limit);
    
        }
