Animate RecyclerView when scrolling

Question

Is there any way to animate the elements of a RecyclerView when I scroll it?

I took a look at DefaultItemAnimator and RecyclerView.ItemAnimator

Answer 1

I ended in using an OnScrollListener and animating it in a custom animate() method. In my case that code takes just 2ms so that is no problem for the 60fps.

recyclerView.setOnScrollListener(new RecyclerView.OnScrollListener() {
    @Override
    public void onScrollStateChanged(int newState) {
        if(newState == RecyclerView.SCROLL_STATE_IDLE) {
            // special handler to avoid displaying half elements
            scrollToNext();
        }
        animate();
    }

    @Override
    public void onScrolled(int dx, int dy) {
        animate();
    }
});
