Navigate from last item to first item in a RecyclerView












1














I'm using a RecyclerView with list items that contain an EditText control with the android:imeOptions set to actionNext. When I tap the actionNext button on the on-screen keyboard the focus goes to the EditText control of the next list item as expected. If the focus is on the EditText of the last list item that is visible on the screen then the RecyclerView creates the next list item and its EditText control receives the focus as I would expect.



The problem I have is with what happens when I tap the actionNext button when the EditText control of the last list item of the entire collection of data items has the focus. I would like the RecyclerView to scroll to the top and set the focus on the EditText control of the list item which shows the first item of the data item collection, but the focus actually goes to the EditText control of the first list item that is visible.




For example if I have 8 items in my collection and only the last 5 items fit on the screen, when I tap the actionNext button on the EditText control of the last item, the focus goes to the EditText control of the 4th item instead of the 1st item as I'd like.



I tried to achieve this behavior using an OnKeyListener on the EditText control but it won't fire when I tap the actionNext button. Could someone point me in the right direction?
