How to Overlap items in LinearLayoutManager - RecyclerView (like stacking cards)

Question

Is that possible to overlap the items from RecyclerView ?
I am trying that with LinearLayoutManager.
My requirements are just the same as in LinearLayoutM

Answer 1

You can achieve using ItemDecoration of RecyclerView

set ItemDecoration :

var customAdapter = CustomListAdapter()
recyclerView.addItemDecoration(MyItemDecoration()) // here set decoration in recyclerview
recyclerView.layoutManager = LinearLayoutManager(context)
recyclerView.adapter = customAdapter

create ItemDecoration class :

class MyItemDecoration : RecyclerView.ItemDecoration() {

    private val overlapValue = -60

    override fun getItemOffsets(outRect : Rect, view : View, parent : RecyclerView, state : RecyclerView.State) {
        outRect.set(0, 0, 0, overlapValue)  // args is : left,top,right,bottom
    }
}
