Expose ScrollState event to list

[Elad]

Hi,

in order to improve performance, I want to pause downloading of images when user is in fling scrolling mode.

_myListView.ScrollStateChanged += (object sender, ScrollStateChangedEventArgs scrollArgs) =>
{
  switch (scrollArgs.ScrollState)
  {
    case ScrollState.Fling:
      ImageService.SetPauseWork(true); // all image loading requests will be silently canceled
      break;
    case ScrollState.Idle:
      ImageService.SetPauseWork(false); // loading requests are allowed again

      // Here you should have your custom method that forces redrawing visible list items
      _myListView.ForcePdfThumbnailsRedraw();
      break;
  }
};

ScrollStateChanged is came from Android.Widget.AbsListView, but RadListView isn't derived from this class.

any option to add this event ?

Thank you

Hello Elad,

Thank you for your question.

RadListView for Xamarin.Android extends the Android's RecyclerView and this is why it doesn't have the mentioned event of AbsListView. However RecyclerView provides an alternative that you can use for your scenario: the method AddOnScollListener. Here's how you can create such listener:

public class MyScrollListener : RecyclerView.OnScrollListener {
    public override void OnScrollStateChanged (RecyclerView recyclerView, int newState)
    {
        base.OnScrollStateChanged (recyclerView, newState);

        switch (newState) {
        case RecyclerView.ScrollStateIdle:
            // Scrolling stopped.
                break;
        case RecyclerView.ScrollStateSettling:
            // Scrolling is about to stop.
                break;
        case RecyclerView.ScrollStateDragging:
            // Scrolling starts.
                break;
        }
    }

}

Then you can add one to your list view instance:

this.listView.AddOnScrollListener (new MyScrollListener ());

I hope this information helps.
