I had to add a footer to my RecyclerView
and here I’m sharing my code snippet as I thought it might be useful. Please check the comments inside the code for better understanding of the overall flow.
import android.content.Context;
import android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import java.util.ArrayList;
public class RecyclerViewWithFooterAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<RecyclerView.ViewHolder> {
private static final int FOOTER_VIEW = 1;
private ArrayList<String> data; // Take any list that matches your requirement.
private Context context;
// Define a constructor
public RecyclerViewWithFooterAdapter(Context context, ArrayList<String> data) {
this.context = context;
this.data = data;
}
// Define a ViewHolder for Footer view
public class FooterViewHolder extends ViewHolder {
public FooterViewHolder(View itemView) {
super(itemView);
itemView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// Do whatever you want on clicking the item
}
});
}
}
// Now define the ViewHolder for Normal list item
public class NormalViewHolder extends ViewHolder {
public NormalViewHolder(View itemView) {
super(itemView);
itemView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// Do whatever you want on clicking the normal items
}
});
}
}
// And now in onCreateViewHolder you have to pass the correct view
// while populating the list item.
@Override
public RecyclerView.ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
View v;
if (viewType == FOOTER_VIEW) {
v = LayoutInflater.from(context).inflate(R.layout.list_item_footer, parent, false);
FooterViewHolder vh = new FooterViewHolder(v);
return vh;
}
v = LayoutInflater.from(context).inflate(R.layout.list_item_normal, parent, false);
NormalViewHolder vh = new NormalViewHolder(v);
return vh;
}
// Now bind the ViewHolder in onBindViewHolder
@Override
public void onBindViewHolder(RecyclerView.ViewHolder holder, int position) {
try {
if (holder instanceof NormalViewHolder) {
NormalViewHolder vh = (NormalViewHolder) holder;
vh.bindView(position);
} else if (holder instanceof FooterViewHolder) {
FooterViewHolder vh = (FooterViewHolder) holder;
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
// Now the critical part. You have return the exact item count of your list
// I've only one footer. So I returned data.size() + 1
// If you've multiple headers and footers, you've to return total count
// like, headers.size() + data.size() + footers.size()
@Override
public int getItemCount() {
if (data == null) {
return 0;
}
if (data.size() == 0) {
//Return 1 here to show nothing
return 1;
}
// Add extra view to show the footer view
return data.size() + 1;
}
// Now define getItemViewType of your own.
@Override
public int getItemViewType(int position) {
if (position == data.size()) {
// This is where we'll add footer.
return FOOTER_VIEW;
}
return super.getItemViewType(position);
}
// So you're done with adding a footer and its action on onClick.
// Now set the default ViewHolder for NormalViewHolder
public class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
// Define elements of a row here
public ViewHolder(View itemView) {
super(itemView);
// Find view by ID and initialize here
}
public void bindView(int position) {
// bindView() method to implement actions
}
}
}
The above code snippet adds a footer to the RecyclerView
. You can check this GitHub repository for checking the implementation of adding both header and a footer.
