RecyclerView scroll to desired position without animation

Question

Previously, when I want to scroll a ListView to a desired position, I will use

listView.setSelection(row);

The ListView will be scrolled without any animation - Android List View set default position without animation

Now, I want to achieve the same effect on RecyclerView. I try to perform

((LinearLayoutManager)recyclerView.getLayoutManager()).scrollToPositionWithOffset(row, 0);

However, there is scrolling animation, which I would like to avoid.

Is there any way I can perform programmatically scrolling, without animation?

This is the animation I meant - https://youtu.be/OKsUKwBLoks

Note, I had already tried the following ways. All of them do generate animation.

• scrollToPositionWithOffset
• smoothScrollToPosition
• scrollToPosition

I know I'm a little late with this answer but it may help someone else. Try following (at least I could not see any animation when using it):

Kotlin:

    //-- Immediately jump to the position in RecyclerView without delay or animation.
    mRecyclerView.viewTreeObserver.addOnGlobalLayoutListener(object : ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener {
        override fun onGlobalLayout() {
            mRecyclerView.scrollToPosition(position)
            mRecyclerView.viewTreeObserver.removeOnGlobalLayoutListener(this)
        }
    })

Java:

mRecyclerView.getViewTreeObserver().addOnGlobalLayoutListener(new ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener() {
        @Override
        public void onGlobalLayout() {
            mRecyclerView.scrollToPosition(position);
            mRecyclerView.getViewTreeObserver().removeOnGlobalLayoutListener(this);
        }
});
