Add a new item to the top of the RecyclerView

Question

I add an element for recyclerview position 0 programamticly

public void addQuestion(Question question){ this.questionList.add(0, question); notifyItemInserted(0); } 

This works very well and the items are listed up, but the user must scroll up to see the new item.

Is there a trick, how does an element appear on top, and does recyclerview automatically scroll?

Answer 1

Ok you can use mRecyclerView.smoothScrollToPosition(int position)

Example:

 public void addQuestion(Question question){ this.questionList.add(0, question); notifyItemInserted(0); mRecyclerView.smoothScrollToPosition(0); } 

UPDATE:

if you want the scroll to a specific element to be really smooth, you can take a look at the answer to this question
