get the position of a View

[nitrico]

Is it possible that this adapter "breaks" the RecyclerView.LayoutManager.getPosition(View view) ? It is always returning -1. Maybe I'm not doing it correctly but I think I am.

Just tested and no, I'm able to retrieve the correct position on my side.

mRecyclerView.getLayoutManager().getPosition(mRecyclerView.getChildAt(0)) == 0
mRecyclerView.getLayoutManager().getPosition(mRecyclerView.getChildAt(1)) == 1

Did you try with the method:

mRecyclerView.getChildPosition(mRecyclerView.getChildAt(0)) ?

It should return the same thing.

So I must be doing something wrong somewhere else cause both method are returning me -1. By the way, is there a way to get the LayoutManager from inside a viewholder?

Thank you so much for the answer and for the library!

Sorry to hear that, I hope you will find the issue. If you want, you can test with my sample available on this repo and let me know.

I think you can get the LayoutManager from a ViewHolder, by calling the parent of "getView()" (it's your RecyclerView), then call getLayoutManager on it.
