业务场景

RecyclerView+LinearLayoutManager实现视频播放列表。当前视频播放完成后，自动向上滚动一个item，并且开始播放。

遇到问题

1.问题代码

//滑动一个item
recyclerView.scrollToPosition((msg.arg1 + 1));
View childAt = layoutManager.findViewByPosition((msg.arg1 + 1));
 if (childAt!=null){
    //视频开始播放
    NiceVideoPlayer niceVideoPlayer=childAt.findViewById(R.id.nice_video_player);
    niceVideoPlayer.start();
  }

当前屏幕上有3个item，从第0个开始播放。第0个播放完成，播放第1个。第1个播放完成，播放第2个，layoutManager.findViewByPosition都可以获取到item。加载position为3的item时，layoutManager.findViewByPosition返回null。奇怪的事，position为3的item已经显示在屏幕上。
2.修改后的代码

//742是一个item的高度
recyclerView.scrollBy(0,742);
View childAt = layoutManager.findViewByPosition((msg.arg1 + 1));
 if (childAt!=null){
    //视频开始播放
    NiceVideoPlayer niceVideoPlayer=childAt.findViewById(R.id.nice_video_player);
    niceVideoPlayer.start();
  }

原因分析

1.recyclerView.scrollToPosition((msg.arg1 + 1))为啥不行（未完待续）

RecyclerView
public void scrollToPosition(int position) {
        if (mLayoutFrozen) {
            return;
        }
        stopScroll();
        if (mLayout == null) {
            Log.e(TAG, "Cannot scroll to position a LayoutManager set. "
                    + "Call setLayoutManager with a non-null argument.");
            return;
        }
        mLayout.scrollToPosition(position);
        awakenScrollBars();
    }

LinearLayoutManager
@Override
    public void scrollToPosition(int position) {
        mPendingScrollPosition = position;
        mPendingScrollPositionOffset = INVALID_OFFSET;
        if (mPendingSavedState != null) {
            mPendingSavedState.invalidateAnchor();
        }
        requestLayout();
    }

LinearLayoutManager
public void requestLayout() {
            if (mRecyclerView != null) {
                mRecyclerView.requestLayout();
            }
        }

RecyclerView.scrollToPosition最终调用了RecyclerView的request()方法,RecyclerVeiw的onMeasure(),onLayout()都会被调用,onDraw()方法可能别调用，这没分析完，下次再写。

2.recyclerView.scrollBy(0,742)为啥可以

RecyclerView
@Override
    public void scrollBy(int x, int y) {
        if (mLayout == null) {
            Log.e(TAG, "Cannot scroll without a LayoutManager set. "
                    + "Call setLayoutManager with a non-null argument.");
            return;
        }
        if (mLayoutFrozen) {
            return;
        }
        final boolean canScrollHorizontal = mLayout.canScrollHorizontally();
        final boolean canScrollVertical = mLayout.canScrollVertically();
        if (canScrollHorizontal || canScrollVertical) {
            scrollByInternal(canScrollHorizontal ? x : 0, canScrollVertical ? y : 0, null);
        }
    }

RecyclerView
boolean scrollByInternal(int x, int y, MotionEvent ev) {
        int unconsumedX = 0, unconsumedY = 0;
        int consumedX = 0, consumedY = 0;

        consumePendingUpdateOperations();
        if (mAdapter != null) {
            eatRequestLayout();
            onEnterLayoutOrScroll();
            TraceCompat.beginSection(TRACE_SCROLL_TAG);
            fillRemainingScrollValues(mState);
            if (x != 0) {
                consumedX = mLayout.scrollHorizontallyBy(x, mRecycler, mState);
                unconsumedX = x - consumedX;
            }
            if (y != 0) {
                consumedY = mLayout.scrollVerticallyBy(y, mRecycler, mState);
                unconsumedY = y - consumedY;
            }
            TraceCompat.endSection();
            repositionShadowingViews();
            onExitLayoutOrScroll();
            resumeRequestLayout(false);
        }
        if (!mItemDecorations.isEmpty()) {
            invalidate();
        }

                TYPE_TOUCH)) {
            // Update the last touch co-ords, taking any scroll offset into account
            mLastTouchX -= mScrollOffset[0];
            mLastTouchY -= mScrollOffset[1];
            if (ev != null) {
                ev.offsetLocation(mScrollOffset[0], mScrollOffset[1]);
            }
            mNestedOffsets[0] += mScrollOffset[0];

            }

        }
        if (consumedX != 0 || consumedY != 0) {
            dispatchOnScrolled(consumedX, consumedY);
        }
        if (!awakenScrollBars()) {

RecyclerView的scrollBy()方法完成后，所有的item已经绑定了新的数据，在界面上显示好了。那么多数据，在我的项目中RecyclerView只用了3个item。回归到View体系，就是ViewGroup+3个子View。为了更少的findViewById(),添加了ViewHolder。对ViewHolder的缓存比较复杂。

思考

scrollToPosition()方法为什么不使用这种实现，而要requestLayout()呢？有清楚的小伙伴可以告诉我哦。
