    implementation 'com.github.wynneplaga:MaterialScrollbar2:1.0.5'
}

How to use

Simply add the following to your XML or instantiate it programtically:

<com.wynneplaga.materialScrollBar2.MaterialScrollBar
    android:id="@+id/dragScrollBar"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    app:msb_recyclerView="@id/recyclerView"
    app:msb_indicatorType="alphabetic" <!--optional-->
    android:layout_height="match_parent" />

Additonal optional attributes:

msb_handleColor - Color
msb_textColor - Color
msb_indicatorType - Enum, see below

My recyclerView elements aren't all the same size! What do I do?

If you are in the situation of using headers of one size and elements of another, we've developed a solution speicifcally for you. Please follow the tutorial here.

If you are in some other situation where you're elements are differently sized, implement ICustomScroller in your adapter and complete the included methods.

Indicators

To add an indicator, simply add one of the following to the xml:

app:msb_indicatorType="alphabetic"
app:msb_indicatorType="date"
app:msb_indicatorType="dateTime"
app:msb_indicatorType="time"
app:msb_indicatorType="custom"

You can also add it programitcally:

scrollBar.indicator = AlphabeticIndicator(context, adapter)

To use an indicator, you MUST make your recyclerView's adapter implement the relevant interface. If you do not, the library will throw a runtime error informing you of your mistake. See documentation for the relevant interface.

Specific Indicators

AlphabeticIndicator

Required Interface: INameableAdapter

To implement an AlphabetIndicator, which displays one character usually corresponding to the first letter of each item, add the following to the end of your scroll bar instantiation, or add it as a seperate line.

app:msb_indicatorType="alphabetic"

DateAndTimeIndicator

Required Interface: IDateableAdapter

To implement a DateTimeIndicator, which displays any combination of time, day of the month, month, and year, add the following to the end of your scroll bar instantiation, or add it as a seperate line.

app:msb_indicatorType="date"
app:msb_indicatorType="dateTime"
app:msb_indicatorType="time"

All of the arguments are booleans (except for this first one obviously). The indicator will dynamically size, add punctuation, and localise for you. All you need to do is provide a Date object for each element in your adapter. You should almost always use miliseconds since the epoch unless you have a good reason not to. Otherwise, the library might crash.

CustomIndicator

Required Interface: ICustomAdapter

To implement a CustomIndicator, which displays any text you want, add the following to the end of your scroll bar instantiation, or add it as a seperate line.

app:msb_indicatorType="custom"
