I have a single activity with many fragments (Using jetpack navigation). On my first fragment, i have a recyclerview. If i scroll on the first fragment and then navigate to the other fragment, the fragment retains the scroll position and i don't want that. An example is as follows:
i.e. Suppose i have two fragments A and B, When my app starts it starts on A. Suppose i start scrolling on A and then navigate to B. My app retains the scroll position on B which is not what i want. I want fragment B to start on top. And then when it returns to fragment A, i want it to retain the scroll position it previously scrolled.

I have attached a gif to demontstrate the issue here:
In the GIF i navigate from 3 fragments (Fragment A > Fragment B > Fragment C) Is there anything i am doing wrong here ?
you have the same layoutmanager
for both fragments, when you populate your different fragments; the same layoutmanager
is called. Which then tries to restore the same position thinking its the same recyclerview, which is kind of a feature when you think about it.
from the docs:
Called when the
RecyclerView
is ready to restore the state based on a previousRecyclerView
. Notice that this might happen after an actual layout, based on how Adapter prefers to restore State. SeeRecyclerView.Adapter.getStateRestorationPolicy()
which means what we need is not to restore the state which can be done by passing
PREVENT
to RecyclerView.Adapter.StateRestorationPolicy
solution1: in your fragment B adapter just call adapter.stateRestorationPolicy = PREVENT
solution2: create a different layoutmanager
for fragment B in case you want to restore position for something else.
EDIT :: QA :: how can i set the view to be on top (Near Status Bar) :
Well, since you are populating your fragments inside a NestedScrollView
you should call NestedScrollView.scrollTo(0, 0);
when you navigate to the required fragment probably by waiting on a callback
from addOnDestinationChangedListener
inside your MainActivity.kt
