Display posts in descending posted order

Question

I\'m trying to test out Firebase to allow users to post comments using push. I want to display the data I retrieve with the following;

fbl.child         


        

Answer 1

In Android there is a way to actually reverse the data in an Arraylist of objects through the Adapter. In my case I could not use the LayoutManager to reverse the results in descending order since I was using a horizontal Recyclerview to display the data. Setting the following parameters to the recyclerview messed up my UI experience:

llManager.setReverseLayout(true);
llManager.setStackFromEnd(true);

The only working way I found around this was through the BindViewHolder method of the RecyclerView adapter:

@Override
public void onBindViewHolder(final RecyclerView.ViewHolder holder, int position) {
    final SuperPost superPost = superList.get(getItemCount() - position - 1);
}

Hope this answer will help all the devs out there who are struggling with this issue in Firebase.
