Answer is in Kotlin, it will work in Java. IntelliJ should convert it for you if you copy and paste.

recyclerView.addOnScrollListener(object : RecyclerView.OnScrollListener(){

    override fun onScrolled(recyclerView: RecyclerView, dx: Int, dy: Int) {

        // 3 lines below are not needed.
        Log.d("TAG","Last visible item is: ${gridLayoutManager.findLastVisibleItemPosition()}")
        Log.d("TAG","Item count is: ${gridLayoutManager.itemCount}")
        Log.d("TAG","end? : ${gridLayoutManager.findLastVisibleItemPosition() == gridLayoutManager.itemCount-1}")

        if(gridLayoutManager.findLastVisibleItemPosition() == gridLayoutManager.itemCount-1){
            // We have reached the end of the recycler view.
        }

        super.onScrolled(recyclerView, dx, dy)
    }
})

This will also work for LinearLayoutManager because it has the same methods used above. Namely findLastVisibleItemPosition() and getItemCount() (itemCount in Kotlin).
