So in my case I am using a RecyclerView to display a list of items but when I try to hide the action bar while scrolling I get this annoying flickering of the screen. I have searched the web for an answer to my problem but so far there has been no luck. So can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
here is my java for hiding the action bar:
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
this.container = container;
this.inflater = inflater;
timePassed = System.currentTimeMillis();
if(hasMoreResults) {
rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.home_zone, container, false);
rootView.findViewById(R.id.imgAdsMap).setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
startActivity(new Intent(context, AdsMap.class));
}
});
recyclerViewZone = (RecyclerView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.recyclerViewZone);
recyclerViewZone.setVerticalScrollBarEnabled(true);
// 2. set layoutManger
manager = new LinearLayoutManager(context);
recyclerViewZone.setLayoutManager(manager);
recyclerViewZone.setItemAnimator(new DefaultItemAnimator());
recyclerViewZone.setOnScrollListener(new RecyclerView.OnScrollListener()
{
int mLastFirstVisibleItem = 0;
@Override
public void onScrollStateChanged(RecyclerView recyclerView, int newState)
{
super.onScrollStateChanged(recyclerView, newState);
if (newState == RecyclerView.SCROLL_STATE_IDLE && !generatedAdsFromScroll)
{
generatedAdsFromScroll = true;
runSplitRequest(10);
}
}
//Hiding the Action Bar for better view of the listed items
@Override
public void onScrolled(RecyclerView recyclerView, int dx, int dy) {
super.onScrolled(recyclerView, dx, dy);
final int currentFirstVisibleItem = manager.findFirstVisibleItemPosition();
if (currentFirstVisibleItem > this.mLastFirstVisibleItem)
{
ActionBar bar = getActivity().getActionBar();
bar.hide();
myButton = (RadioGroup)getActivity().findViewById(R.id.radioButtonGroup);
myButton.setVisibility(View.GONE);
}
else if (currentFirstVisibleItem < this.mLastFirstVisibleItem)
{
ActionBar bar = getActivity().getActionBar();
bar.show();
myButton = (RadioGroup)getActivity().findViewById(R.id.radioButtonGroup);
myButton.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
}
this.mLastFirstVisibleItem = currentFirstVisibleItem;
}
});
runSplitRequest(20);
}
else
rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.error_internet_connection, container, false);
return rootView;
}
This is the XML of the recyclerview:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="@+id/recyclerViewZone"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:paddingTop="?android:attr/actionBarSize"
android:clipToPadding="false"
android:scrollbarStyle="outsideOverlay"
tools:context=".MainActivity"
android:scrollbars="vertical" />
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="@+id/imgAdsMap"
android:src="@drawable/map_button_map_down"
android:layout_marginRight="5dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="5dp"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_alignParentEnd="true"/>
and the style of the action bar:
<resources>
<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="android:Theme.Holo.Light.DarkActionBar">
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
<item name="android:windowActionBarOverlay">true</item>
</style>
<dimen name="image_detail_height">200dp</dimen>
So as you can see I have enabled the action bar to overlay. I have also tried with calling the overlay of the action bar in the activity I call the recyclerview class but the problem remains... no luck the flickering is still there and even if I add padding to the recyclervie XML i just get a black rectangle with the size of the action bar.
Here is the xml of the activity I display the recyclerview:
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
