Make Recycler View show rows from bottom

Question

I saw somewhere method to make RecyclerView show ViewHolders from bottom to top. Now, i can't find it anywhere (after half of hour going through RecyclerView, RecyclerAdapter, LayoutManager...).

Answer 1

Is it LinearLayoutManager.setStackFromEnd(true) you are looking for?

Edit

Turns out LinearLayoutManager.setReverseLayout(true) does the trick. Either way, the reader may want to try each of the methods and the combination of both to get the needed effect.

Answer 2

Here is the solution in Kotlin

val llm = LinearLayoutManager(this) llm.stackFromEnd = true     // items gravity sticks to bottom llm.reverseLayout = false   // item list sorting (new messages start from the bottom)  rv_chat_history.layoutManager = llm 

Or if you like the apply method:

recycler.apply {      layoutManager = LinearLayoutManager(this).apply {          stackFromEnd = true         reverseLayout = false     } }
