How can I open the scrollbar in the reader

[jiijkkk]

Such as the title， I cannot find the scrollbar so I don't know the length of the artical. Is there a scrollbar in the reader ?

[spacecowboy]

No. There is no scrollbar in Jetpack Compose to show.

I came here to create a FR for scroll position indicator. It's useful for an indication of article length, feed length, relative position, etc.

There's no way to accomplish this for feeder @spacecowboy ?

[spacecowboy]

There is no built in scrollbar as I said.

And building one is not simple.

I trust that it's harder than these pages 1 2 make it seem. I wish I could wrap my ADHD brain around coding to help ...

I realise you want to help but please only submit stuff which you understand is compatible.

Sorry I'm not a dev. I noticed some Jetpack Compose based projects use https://github.com/nanihadesuka/LazyColumnScrollbar please have a look on it. Thanks

That might be something that works! Thanks for the tip

There are some issues, but I've asked the maintainer if there is a setting I can tweak.

ScrollBarDefault2.webm
ScrollBarFixedLength2.webm

If that library doesn't work try this : https://github.com/reddit/IndicatorFastScroll popular library by reddit but looks abandoned

No. It says plainly on the first page why that can't work with Feeder:

Works with standard RecyclerViews and in any layout

Feeder is built with Jetpack Compose. Not the legacy view layout system. It's a completely different way to build the UI.

Pretty out of my element here, but maybe I'm on the right path. I just need a few weeks to familiarize with a new IDE and Kotlin...

In the meantime, here is what I am looking at:

import androidx.compose.foundation.VerticalScrollbar
import androidx.compose.foundation.rememberScrollbarAdapter

val scrollBarAdapter = rememberScrollbarAdapter(articleListState)
        VerticalScrollbar(
            modifier = Modifier.align(Alignment.CenterEnd).fillMaxHeight(),
            adapter = scrollBarAdapter
        )

Apologies for my fumbling. I used to understand programming. I let it get away from me...

[s38b35M5]

Uh-huh. Did you ChatGPT that?
Because question: How do you connect it to the LazyColumns: ScrollState`?

Yes, ChatGPT (Or Gemini, I forget) I asked for an example of how to integrate a scroll indicator. It initially provided ScrollState, but I just am way out of my depth here. Disregard me. Apologies.

I am working to wrap my head around AS IDE and there's a steep curve. I have feeder working on the VHD, so I can at least play with your code and see where it goes. Enjoy your weekend...

[spacecowboy]

So there is this: https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/androidx/compose/foundation/package-summary#VerticalScrollbar(androidx.compose.foundation.ScrollbarAdapter,androidx.compose.ui.Modifier,kotlin.Boolean,androidx.compose.foundation.ScrollbarStyle,androidx.compose.foundation.interaction.MutableInteractionSource)

But that is not something which is actually importable.

Sorry for my rudeness earlier. But my experience is that ChatGPT is quite shit at Jetpack Compose, basicaly because there isn't a lot of open source to train on / steal from yet.

[s38b35M5]

I'll lay low and learn, and maybe we can touch base when I have more meaningful input. No worries about rudeness. This is your app. I'm just trying to learn on probably the wrong project and methods.

Terrific work!
