Endless RecyclerView with ProgressBar for pagination

Question

I am using a RecyclerView and fetching objects from an API in batches of ten. For pagination, I use EndlessRecyclerOnScrollListener.

It\'s all working properly. Now

here is my workaround without adding a fake item (in Kotlin but simple):

in your adapter add:

private var isLoading = false
private val VIEWTYPE_FORECAST = 1
private val VIEWTYPE_PROGRESS = 2

override fun getItemCount(): Int {
    if (isLoading)
        return items.size + 1
    else
        return items.size
}

override fun getItemViewType(position: Int): Int {
    if (position == items.size - 1 && isLoading)
        return VIEWTYPE_PROGRESS
    else
        return VIEWTYPE_FORECAST
}

override fun onCreateViewHolder(parent: ViewGroup?, viewType: Int): RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
    if (viewType == VIEWTYPE_FORECAST)
        return ForecastHolder(LayoutInflater.from(context).inflate(R.layout.item_forecast, parent, false))
    else
        return ProgressHolder(LayoutInflater.from(context).inflate(R.layout.item_progress, parent, false))
}

override fun onBindViewHolder(holder: RecyclerView.ViewHolder?, position: Int) {
    if (holder is ForecastHolder) {
        //init your item
    }
}

public fun showProgress() {
    isLoading = true
}


public fun hideProgress() {
    isLoading = false
}

now you can easily call showProgress() before API call. and hideProgress() after API call was done.
