(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

I was facing a weird issue wherein smoothScrollToPosition only worked occasionally.

After putting the smoothScrollToPosition inside Handler Post Delayed with 1 second delay, it worked fine.

Refer to the following Kotlin example:

Handler().postDelayed({

   recyclerViewObject.smoothScrollToPosition(0) // mention the position in place of 0

}, 1000) // 1000 indicates the 1 second delay.
