Android alphabetical fast scrollview in RecyclerView with Collapsing toolbar

we want some Knowledge of SectionIndexer. Here is Doc of SectionIndexer.

We have to set TRUE setFastScrollEnabled(true) method, which is used with the LISTVIEW.......You can use recyclerview instead of listView in the below example....

this is activity

public class FastScoll extends ListActivity {

    ListView fruitView;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_fast_scoll);

        fruitView = (ListView) findViewById(android.R.id.list);

        fruitView.setFastScrollEnabled(true);
        String[] fruits = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.fruits_array);

        final List<String> fruitList = Arrays.asList(fruits);
        Collections.sort(fruitList);
        setListAdapter(new ListAdapter(this, fruitList));

        fruitView.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {

            public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View arg1,
                                    int position, long arg3) {
                Log.e("sushildlh",fruitList.get(position));
            }
        });

    }
}

this is the activity_fast_scoll.xml file

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:padding="5dp" >

    <ListView
        android:id="@android:id/list"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:scrollbarStyle="outsideOverlay" />

</RelativeLayout>

and this is my custom adapter with SectionIndexer....

public class ListAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<String> implements SectionIndexer {

    String[] sections;
    List<String> fruits;
    List<String> sectionLetters=new ArrayList<String>();

    public ListAdapter(Context context, List<String> fruitList) {
        super(context, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, fruitList);
        this.fruits = fruitList;

        for (int x = 0; x < fruits.size(); x++) {
            String fruit = fruits.get(x);
            String ch = fruit.charAt(0)+"";
            ch = ch.toUpperCase(Locale.US);

            sectionLetters.add(ch);
        }

        ArrayList<String> sectionList = new ArrayList<String>(sectionLetters);

        sections = new String[sectionList.size()];

        sectionList.toArray(sections);
    }

    public int getPositionForSection(int section) {

        Log.e("sushildlh", "" + section);
        return section;
    }

    public int getSectionForPosition(int position) {

        Log.d("sushildlh", "" + position);
        return position;
    }

    public Object[] getSections() {
        return sections;
    }
}

this is fruits array in string.xml file.

 <string-array name="fruits_array">
            <item>Apples</item>

and finally this is the output of the these code....

Feel free to ask if you stuck anywhere in between code ....

Note:- FastScroll image will be differ in different version of android (eg:-lollipop,marshmallow,etc) below output is for lollipop

lollipop

For Custom Alphabetical Fast scrollView just add these 2 line in your style.xml file in AppTheme.

<item name="android:fastScrollTextColor">@color/apptheme_color</item>         //this is used for the color of the Alphabetical Fast scrollView
<item name="android:fastScrollPreviewBackgroundRight">@drawable/bg_default_focused_holo_light</item>          //this is the image or and drawable file you want to set on Alphabetical Fast scrollView

Custom Fast Scorll Output :-

There is a good library here with this example. Also there is a good tutorial here with this example in Github.

Usage:

make a RecyclerView.Adapter that implements BubbleTextGetter, which given a position in the data will return the text to show in the bubble-popup. position the FastScroller inside the layout that container the RecyclerView (probably at the right area).

Customize the FastScroller some disadvantages:

doesn't support orientation change, but it's probably easy to fix. doesn't support other layoutManagers. Only LinearLayoutManager Needs API 11 and above.

Code:

BubbleTextGetter

public interface BubbleTextGetter
  {
  String getTextToShowInBubble(int pos);
  }

recycler_view_fast_scroller__fast_scroller.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<merge xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
       xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
       android:layout_width="wrap_content"
       android:layout_height="match_parent">

  <TextView
    android:id="@+id/fastscroller_bubble"
    android:layout_gravity="right|end"
    android:gravity="center"
    android:textSize="48sp" tools:text="A"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:textColor="#FFffffff"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:background="@drawable/recycler_view_fast_scroller__bubble"
    android:visibility="visible"/>

  <ImageView
    android:id="@+id/fastscroller_handle"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_marginRight="8dp"
    android:layout_marginLeft="8dp"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:src="@drawable/recycler_view_fast_scroller__handle"/>

</merge>

Now this ScrollListener:

private class ScrollListener extends OnScrollListener
    {
    @Override
    public void onScrolled(RecyclerView rv,int dx,int dy)
      {
      View firstVisibleView=recyclerView.getChildAt(0);
      int firstVisiblePosition=recyclerView.getChildPosition(firstVisibleView);
      int visibleRange=recyclerView.getChildCount();
      int lastVisiblePosition=firstVisiblePosition+visibleRange;
      int itemCount=recyclerView.getAdapter().getItemCount();
      int position;
      if(firstVisiblePosition==0)
        position=0;
      else if(lastVisiblePosition==itemCount-1)
        position=itemCount-1;
      else
        position=firstVisiblePosition;
      float proportion=(float)position/(float)itemCount;
      setPosition(height*proportion);
      }
    }
  }

This custom LinearLayout:

public class FastScroller extends LinearLayout
  {
  private static final int BUBBLE_ANIMATION_DURATION=100;
  private static final int TRACK_SNAP_RANGE=5;

  private TextView bubble;

    bubble.setVisibility(INVISIBLE);
    }

  @Override

    height=h;
    }

  @Override

        if(bubble.getVisibility()==INVISIBLE)
          showBubble();
        handle.setSelected(true);
      case MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE:
        setPosition(event.getY());
        setRecyclerViewPosition(event.getY());
        return true;
      case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
      case MotionEvent.ACTION_CANCEL:
        handle.setSelected(false);
        hideBubble();
        return true;
      }
    return super.onTouchEvent(event);
    }

  public void setRecyclerView(RecyclerView recyclerView)
    {

        proportion=0f;
      else if(handle.getY()+handle.getHeight()>=height-TRACK_SNAP_RANGE)
        proportion=1f;
      else
        proportion=y/(float)height;
      int targetPos=getValueInRange(0,itemCount-1,(int)(proportion*(float)itemCount));
      recyclerView.scrollToPosition(targetPos);
      String bubbleText=((BubbleTextGetter)recyclerView.getAdapter()).getTextToShowInBubble(targetPos);
      bubble.setText(bubbleText);
      }
    }

  private int getValueInRange(int min,int max,int value)
    {
    int minimum=Math.max(min,value);

    }

  private void setPosition(float y)
    {
    int bubbleHeight=bubble.getHeight();
    int handleHeight=handle.getHeight();
    handle.setY(getValueInRange(0,height-handleHeight,(int)(y-handleHeight/2)));
    bubble.setY(getValueInRange(0,height-bubbleHeight-handleHeight/2,(int)(y-bubbleHeight)));
    }

  private void showBubble()
    {
    AnimatorSet animatorSet=new AnimatorSet();
    bubble.setVisibility(VISIBLE);
    if(currentAnimator!=null)
      currentAnimator.cancel();
    currentAnimator=ObjectAnimator.ofFloat(bubble,"alpha",0f,1f).setDuration(BUBBLE_ANIMATION_DURATION);
    currentAnimator.start();
    }

  private void hideBubble()
    {
    if(currentAnimator!=null)
      currentAnimator.cancel();

      }
    });
    currentAnimator.start();
    }

The last step in your activity onCreate:

    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    RecyclerView recyclerView =(RecyclerView)findViewById(R.id.activity_main_recyclerview);


    FastScroller fastScroller=(FastScroller)findViewById(R.id.fastscroller);
    fastScroller.setRecyclerView(recyclerView);
