For me lastVisibleItemPosition returns wrongly . it returns total item count -1 . For Example if total item count was 40 then lastVisibleItemPosition returns 39 and so on. So all the pages were called by the first time itself. Any Solution ?

@TrioangleTech did you fix it ?

@Sarosh-Madara hello did u get solution
