Don't write a RecyclerView adapter again. Not even a ViewHolder!
- Based on Android Data Binding
- Written in Kotlin
- Supports LiveData
- No need to write the adapter
- No need to write the ViewHolders
- No need to modify your model classes
- No need to notify the adapter when data set changes
- Supports multiple item view types
- Optional Callbacks/Listeners
- Very fast — no reflection
- Super easy API
- Minimum Android SDK: 19
Add it in your root build.gradle at the end of repositories:
allprojects {
repositories {
...
maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
}
}Add the dependency to module build.gradle
// apply plugin: 'kotlin-kapt' // this line only for Kotlin projects
android {
...
dataBinding.enabled true
}
dependencies {
implementation 'com.github.RaviKoradiya:LiveAdapter:1.3.4'
// kapt 'com.android.databinding:compiler:GRADLE_PLUGIN_VERSION' // this line only for Kotlin projects
}Create your item layouts with <layout> as root:
<layout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<data>
<variable name="item" type="com.github.RaviKoradiya.LiveAdapter.item.Header"/>
</data>
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="@{item.text}"/>
</layout>It is important for all the item types to have the same variable name, in this case "item". This name is passed to the adapter builder as BR.variableName, in this case BR.item:
// Java
new LiveAdapter(listOfItems, BR.item)
.map(Header.class, R.layout.item_header)
.map(Point.class, R.layout.item_point)
.into(recyclerView);// Kotlin
LiveAdapter(listOfItems, BR.item)
.map<Header>(R.layout.item_header)
.map<Point>(R.layout.item_point)
.into(recyclerView)The list of items can be an ObservableList or LiveData<List> if you want to get the adapter automatically updated when its content changes, or a simple List if you don't need to use this feature.
// Kotlin sample
LiveAdapter(
data = liveListOfItems,
lifecycleOwner = this@MainActivity,
variable = BR.item )
.map<Header, ItemHeaderBinding>(R.layout.item_header) {
areContentsTheSame { old: Header, new: Header ->
return@areContentsTheSame old.text == new.text
}
areItemSame { old: Header, new: Header ->
return@areContentsTheSame old.text == new.text
}
}
.map<Point, ItemPointBinding>(R.layout.item_point) {
areContentsTheSame { old: Point, new: Point ->
return@areContentsTheSame old.id == new.id
}
areItemSame { old: Header, new: Header ->
return@areContentsTheSame old.text == new.text
}
}
.into(recyclerview)I suggest to implement DiffUtil ItemCallback while using LiveData.
A callback to manage "no data text or image view" visiblity.
// Kotlin sample
LiveAdapter(listOfItems, BR.item)
.map<Header> ...
.onNoData { noData ->
textNoDataFound.visibility =
if (noData)
View.VISIBLE
else
View.GONE
}
...
.into(recyclerView)The LayoutHandler interface allows you to use different layouts based on more complex criteria. Its one single method receives the item and the position and returns the layout resource id.
// Java sample
new LiveAdapter(listOfItems, BR.item)
.handler(handler)
.into(recyclerView);
private LayoutHandler handler = new LayoutHandler() {
@Override public int getItemLayout(@NotNull Object item, int position) {
if (item instanceof Header) {
return (position == 0) ? R.layout.item_header_first : R.layout.item_header;
} else {
return R.layout.item_point;
}
}
};// Kotlin sample
LiveAdapter(listOfItems, BR.item).layout { item, position ->
when (item) {
is Header -> if (position == 0) R.layout.item_header_first else R.layout.item_header
else -> R.layout.item_point
}
}.into(recyclerView)Thanks to Miguel Ángel Moreno for this library.
