How to programmatically snap to position on Recycler view with LinearSnapHelper

Question

I have implemented a horizontal recyclerView with LinearSnapHelper, to implement a UI input that selects a particular configuration. Kinda like the old school number picker/sele

Answer 1

Try calling smoothScrollToPosition on the RecyclerView object, and passing the position index (int)

mRecyclerView.smoothScrollToPosition(position);

Worked for me with a LinearLayoutManager and LinearSnapHelper. It animates the initial scroll, but at least snaps the item in position.

This is my first post on the stack, hope it helps :)
