(Smooth)ScrollToPosition doesn't work properly with RecyclerView

Question

I\'m using basic RecyclerView with GridLayoutManager. I observed that nor smoothScrollToPosition nor scrollToPosition works properly.

a) when using smoothScrol

Answer 1

Calling the recyclerView smoothScroll isn't effective, as the recyclerView itself doesn't handle its layout.

What you should do is calling the layout manager scroll method instead.

This should look something like this

mRecyclerView.getLayoutManager().scrollToPosition(desiredPosition);
