In order to check whether RecyclerView is scrolled to bottom. Use the following code.

/**
     * Check whether the last item in RecyclerView is being displayed or not
     *
     * @param recyclerView which you would like to check
     * @return true if last position was Visible and false Otherwise
     */
    private boolean isLastItemDisplaying(RecyclerView recyclerView) {
        if (recyclerView.getAdapter().getItemCount() != 0) {
            int lastVisibleItemPosition = ((LinearLayoutManager) recyclerView.getLayoutManager()).findLastCompletelyVisibleItemPosition();
            if (lastVisibleItemPosition != RecyclerView.NO_POSITION && lastVisibleItemPosition == recyclerView.getAdapter().getItemCount() - 1)
                return true;
        }
        return false;
    }

Some Additional info

If you want to implement ScrollToBottom in RecyclerView when Edittext is tapped then i recommend you add 1 second delay like this:

 edittext.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {
            @Override
            public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
                if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP)
                    if (isLastItemDisplaying(recyclerView)) {
// The scrolling can happen instantly before keyboard even opens up so to handle that we add 1 second delay to scrolling
                        recyclerView.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
                            @Override
                            public void run() {
                                recyclerView.smoothScrollToPosition(recyclerView.getAdapter().getItemCount() - 1);

                            }
                        }, 1000);
                    }
                return false;
            }
        });
