Detect when RecyclerView reaches the bottom most position while scrolling

I have this code for a RecyclerView.

    recyclerView = (RecyclerView)rootview.findViewById(R.id.fabric_recyclerView);
    recyclerView.setLayoutManager(layoutManager);
    recyclerView.addItemDecoration(new RV_Item_Spacing(5));
    FabricAdapter fabricAdapter=new FabricAdapter(ViewAdsCollection.getFabricAdsDetailsAsArray());
    recyclerView.setAdapter(fabricAdapter);

I need to know when the RecyclerView reaches bottom most position while scrolling. Is it possible ? If yes, how ?

there is also a simple way to do it

recyclerView.addOnScrollListener(new RecyclerView.OnScrollListener() {
    @Override
    public void onScrollStateChanged(RecyclerView recyclerView, int newState) {
        super.onScrollStateChanged(recyclerView, newState);

        if (!recyclerView.canScrollVertically(1)) {
            Toast.makeText(YourActivity.this, "Last", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

        }
    }
});

direction integers: -1 for up, 1 for down, 0 will always return false.

Use this code for avoiding repeated calls

    recyclerView.addOnScrollListener(new RecyclerView.OnScrollListener() {
        @Override
        public void onScrollStateChanged(RecyclerView recyclerView, int newState) {
            super.onScrollStateChanged(recyclerView, newState);

            if (!recyclerView.canScrollVertically(1) && newState==RecyclerView.SCROLL_STATE_IDLE) {
                Log.d("-----","end");
                
            }
        }
    });

Just implement a addOnScrollListener() on your recyclerview. Then inside the scroll listener implement the code below.

RecyclerView.OnScrollListener mScrollListener = new RecyclerView.OnScrollListener() {
        @Override
        public void onScrolled(RecyclerView recyclerView, int dx, int dy) {
            if (mIsLoading)
                return;
            int visibleItemCount = mLayoutManager.getChildCount();
            int totalItemCount = mLayoutManager.getItemCount();
            int pastVisibleItems = mLayoutManager.findFirstVisibleItemPosition();
            if (pastVisibleItems + visibleItemCount >= totalItemCount) {
                //End of list
            }
        }
    };

Answer is in Kotlin, it will work in Java. IntelliJ should convert it for you if you copy and paste.

recyclerView.addOnScrollListener(object : RecyclerView.OnScrollListener(){

    override fun onScrolled(recyclerView: RecyclerView, dx: Int, dy: Int) {

        // 3 lines below are not needed.
        Log.d("TAG","Last visible item is: ${gridLayoutManager.findLastVisibleItemPosition()}")
        Log.d("TAG","Item count is: ${gridLayoutManager.itemCount}")
        Log.d("TAG","end? : ${gridLayoutManager.findLastVisibleItemPosition() == gridLayoutManager.itemCount-1}")

        if(gridLayoutManager.findLastVisibleItemPosition() == gridLayoutManager.itemCount-1){
            // We have reached the end of the recycler view.
        }

        super.onScrolled(recyclerView, dx, dy)
    }
})

This will also work for LinearLayoutManager because it has the same methods used above. Namely findLastVisibleItemPosition() and getItemCount() (itemCount in Kotlin).

After not being satisfied with most the other answers in this thread, I found something I think is better and is not anywhere on here.

recyclerView.addOnScrollListener(new RecyclerView.OnScrollListener() {
    @Override
    public void onScrolled(RecyclerView recyclerView, int dx, int dy) {
        if (!recyclerView.canScrollVertically(1) && dy > 0)
        {
             //scrolled to BOTTOM
        }else if (!recyclerView.canScrollVertically(-1) && dy < 0)
        {
            //scrolled to TOP
        }
    }
});

This is simple and will hit exactly one time under all conditions when you have scrolled to the top or bottom.
