RecyclerViewAdapter

Base implementation of RecyclerViewAdapter that avoids the need to directly build your own adapter.

Overview

This project is mostly proof of concept and updates may include breaking changes.

Usage

This project currently uses Git for distribution, so you'll need JitPack.

repositories {
  maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
}

Then just add this dependency to your project.

dependencies {
  compile 'com.github.moltendorf:RecyclerViewAdapter:0.6.4'
}

Now you can import the class anywhere in your project.

import net.moltendorf.android.recyclerviewadapter.RecyclerViewAdapter;

Create your view holders and data models.

package com.example;

import android.content.Context;
import android.view.ViewGroup;

import net.moltendorf.android.recyclerviewadapter.RecyclerViewAdapter;

public class ExampleViewHolder extends RecyclerViewAdapter.ViewHolder<ExampleData> {
  public ExampleViewHolder(Context context, ViewGroup viewGroup) {
    super(context, viewGroup, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1);
  }

  @Override
  public void bindTo() {
    ((TextView) itemView).setText(object.getText());
  }

  public static class Factory extends RecyclerViewAdapter.Factory<ExampleViewHolder> {
    @Override
    public ExampleViewHolder createViewHolder(Context context, ViewGroup parent) {
      return new ExampleViewHolder(context, parent);
    }
  }
}

public class ExampleData {
  private String text = "Example Text";
  
  public String getText() {
    return text;
  }
}

Then just create a new RecyclerViewAdapter and bind your view holders to it.

// Create some example data.
List exampleList = new ArrayList(1);
exampleList.add(new ExampleData());

RecyclerViewAdapter adapter = new RecyclerViewAdapter(getContext());
adapter.setViewHolders(ExampleViewHolder.class);
adapter.changeDataSet(exampleList);

Code Style

This project is indented with 2 spaces and wraps after the 128th column for all code files. All files must end with a newline.

Why spaces? GitHub uses 8 spaces per tab in code previews which would cause code to show up differently.

Why 128 columns? Because at 10pt font, you can fit three files on a 2560x1440 monitor. Also, GitHub code viewer.
