Cannot add item decoration during a scroll or layout

Hi,

I cannot manage to integrate Covert to my RecyclerView. When it tries to show it, I get the following error:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot add item decoration during a scroll or layout

I tried to remove the ItemDecoration I add myself to the RecyclerView, but with no luck. Do you have an idea how I could circumvent this?

Thanks

Hey @stephanepechard,

Are you able to share a sample project where I can reproduce this? I have a feeling Covert may be being initialised at a time where the RecyclerView is laying out, as the crash appears to be coming from ItemTouchHelper

Hi,
It's difficult for me at this time to provide a sample project, I got the bug when I try to integrate it in my big (and dated) project... I will try to look around the way Covert is initialised.
Thanks
