I have a parent container in one of my activities which make a call to it's child containers consisting of a horizontal scrollview as one of the objects. Sort of like a recyclerview with row objects placed inside where there is a common row/item layout consisting of a horizontal scroll view.
My objective is to sync the positions of the horizontalscrollview such that, when i am scrolling horizontally on one of the objects from position 1 to position 2, all the other items containing horizontal scrollview get updated from position 1 to position 2.
Here's my main container code: (Activity code)
for (int index = 0; index < roomCount; index++) {
Room r2 = ((LobbyReservationRowView) container.getChildAt(index))
.getRoom();
// Log.d("Lobby", "sorting: " + r.getName() + ":" + r.isFree() +
// " -- " + r2.getName() + ":" + r2.isFree());
if (r.equals(r2)) {
Log.d("LobbyActivity", "duplicate room -- " + r.getEmail());
// XXX: minor logic error; same room
// someone else requested also an update, and we got rooms twice
container.removeViewAt(index);
container.addView(v, index);
added = true;
break;
} else if (roomCmp.compare(r, r2) < 0) {
container.addView(v, index);
added = true;
break;
}
}
if (!added) {
container.addView(v);
}
where container is the layout containing the following layout as it's child:( the above code iterates over this layout to generate subsequent rows)

My point of focus is the HorizontalScrollView containing the timebar, which has positions 1 to 10. If I scroll to position 5 for example, the next subsequent rows should have the scrollbar position at 5 aswell, but I am not able to sync them. Any idea what could be missing from my code? Just for reference , here's LobbyReservationRowView class code snippet:
public class LobbyReservationRowView extends FrameLayout implements
OnClickListener, OnItemClickListener, HorizontalScrollView.OnScrollChangeListener {
@BindView(R.id.horizontal_timebar_view)
HorizontalScrollView mHorizontalTimeBarView;
@Override
public void onScrollChange(View v, int scrollX, int scrollY, int oldScrollX, int oldScrollY) {
mHorizontalTimeBarView.scrollTo(mHorizontalTimeBarView.getScrollX(),0);
}
}
Happy to share the entire sample project if need be
You can achieve the synchronized scrolling with LiveData from Android Architecture Components. Declare an interface
interface LobbyReservationHSVListener{
void updateScrollPosition(int scrollX);
}
Declare a MutableLiveData variable and implement the LobbyReservationHSVListener in your activity like below:
public class HorizontalActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements
LobbyReservationHSVListener {
MutableLiveData<Integer> hsvPosition = new MutableLiveData<Integer>();
@Override
public void updateScrollPosition(int scrollX) {
hsvPosition.setValue(scrollX);
}
}
In onCreate in your activity start observing the MutableLiveData you declared. Whenever its value changes, loop through all children views of container and update their scroll positions.
hsvPosition.observe(this,new Observer<Integer>() {
@Override
public void onChanged(Integer integer) {
for(int i=0; i<container.getChildCount();i++){
HorizontalScrollView hsv = container.getChildAt(i).findViewById(R.id.horizontal_timebar_view);
hsv.smoothScrollTo(integer,0);
}
}
});
In your LobbyReservationRowView create a function to set the LobbyReservationHSVListener object and call updateScrollPosition whenever scroll changes.
public class LobbyReservationRowView extends FrameLayout implements
OnClickListener, OnItemClickListener, HorizontalScrollView.OnScrollChangeListener {
private LobbyReservationHSVListener hsvUpdateListener;
@BindView(R.id.horizontal_timebar_view)
HorizontalScrollView mHorizontalTimeBarView;
public void setHSVUpdateListener(LobbyReservationHSVListener hsvUpdateListener){
this.hsvUpdateListener = hsvUpdateListener;
}
@Override
public void onScrollChange(View v, int scrollX, int scrollY, int oldScrollX, int oldScrollY) {
hsvUpdateListener.updateScrollPosition(scrollX);
}
}
Don't forget to call setHSVUpdateListener(this)
on your LobbyReservationRowView
object whenever adding it to your container
You should get something like this:
