Don't write a RecyclerView adapter again. Not even a ViewHolder!
- Based on Android Data Binding
- Written in Kotlin
- 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
- Tiny size: ~30 KB
- Minimum Android SDK: 9
// apply plugin: 'kotlin-kapt' // this line only for Kotlin projects
android {
...
dataBinding.enabled true
}
dependencies {
compile 'com.github.nitrico.lastadapter:lastadapter:2.3.0'
// 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.nitrico.lastadapterproject.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 LastAdapter(listOfItems, BR.item)
.map(Header.class, R.layout.item_header)
.map(Point.class, R.layout.item_point)
.into(recyclerView);// Kotlin
LastAdapter(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 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.
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 LastAdapter(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
LastAdapter(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)For further information, please take a look at my article at Medium.
You might also want to try FontBinder to easily use custom fonts in your XML layouts.
