このソースコード (gist) を読んだ後、
Kotlin に自分で変換してみようと思って書きました

Kotlin

abstract class EndlessScrollListener(private val layoutManager: LinearLayoutManager): RecyclerView.OnScrollListener() {

    private var previousTotal = 0
    private var loading = true
    private var currentPage = 1
    private var visibleThreshold = 0

    private var visibleItemCount: Int = -1
    private var totalItemCount: Int = -1
    private var firstVisibleItem: Int = -1

    override fun onScrolled(recyclerView: RecyclerView?, dx: Int, dy: Int) {
        super.onScrolled(recyclerView, dx, dy)

        visibleItemCount = recyclerView?.childCount ?: 0
        totalItemCount = layoutManager.itemCount
        firstVisibleItem = layoutManager.findFirstVisibleItemPosition()

        if (loading) {
            if (totalItemCount > previousTotal) {
                loading = false
                previousTotal = totalItemCount
            }
        }

        if (!loading && (totalItemCount - visibleItemCount) <= (firstVisibleItem + visibleThreshold)) {
            currentPage++
            onLoadMore(currentPage)
            loading = true
        }
    }

    abstract fun onLoadMore(currentPage: Int)
}

使い方

Recycler view があるところに on scroll listener として追加します

// recyclerView は RecyclerView のインスタンス
// linearLayoutManager は LinearLayoutManager のインスタンス
recyclerView.addOnScrollListener(object : EndlessScrollListener(linearLayoutManager) {
    override fun onLoadMore(currentPage: Int) {
        Log.v("OnLoadMore", "page: $currentPage")
　　　　}
})
