Pro RecyclerView Yiğit Boyar / Google
Define: Pro • Know the past and today • Use
it properly & efficiently • (a.k.a best practices)
Part I Know The Past and Today
ListView • Repeated & Consistent Content
ListView • or sometimes, not so consistent • A lot
of data, not enough memory
ListView • Smoke and mirrors! • If it looks right,
it is right • Only create & layout the views user can see • Lay out more as needed, re-use!
Complexity Overdraft • A lot of long tail, one -
off features • Undefined behavior when APIs are mixed • Undefined behavior = undefined API
Duplicate Features • Focused View vs Selected Item • Item
Click Listener vs View Click Listener • setItemsCanFocus • why not?
Animations
¯\_(ϑ)_/¯
More Complex Layouts • GridView • Horizontal List View •
StaggeredGridView
Reboot • Elevates best practices • ViewHolder • De-couple via
well defined components • Recycler • Do less • Use framework focus • Smart adapters
RecyclerView Components Layout Manager Adapter Item Animator I position the
views I provide the views I animate the views Recycler View
Part II Best Practices
View::requestLayout
View::requestLayout requestLayout ViewGroup ViewGroup View ViewGroup view ViewGroup View ViewGroup
View
View::requestLayout ViewGroup ViewGroup View ViewGroup view ViewGroup View ViewGroup View
nextFrame measure
View::requestLayout ViewGroup ViewGroup View ViewGroup view ViewGroup View ViewGroup View
layout
View::requestLayout onBindViewHolder(ViewHolder vh, int position) { .... imageLoader.loadImage(vh.image, user.profileUrl, R.drawable.placeHolder);
}
imageView.setImageBitmap(bitmap)
imageView.setImageBitmap(bitmap) imageView.requestLayout();
imageView.setImageBitmap(bitmap) imageView.requestLayout(); itemView.requestLayout();
imageView.setImageBitmap(bitmap) imageView.requestLayout(); itemView.requestLayout(); recyclerView.requestLayout(); unless setHasFixedSize == true
ImageView.java Since 2011 void setImageDrawable(Drawable drawable){ if (mDrawable != drawable)
{ int oldWidth = mDrawableWidth; int oldHeight = mDrawableHeight; updateDrawable(drawable); if (oldWidth != mDrawableWidth || oldHeight != mDrawableHeight) { requestLayout(); } invalidate(); } }
TextView.java ¯\_(ϑ)_/¯
How Do I Know?
RecyclerView.java
Resizing Items
imageLoader.load( viewHolder.imageView); cache miss
desired
reality: bad item height Clock in the wrong column
AspectRatioImageView.java private float mAspectRatio; @Override protected void onMeasure(int wSpec, int
hSpec) { int width = MeasureSpec.getSize(wSpec); int height = (int) (width * mAspectRatio); setMeasuredDimension(width, height); }
Bad API vs Good API { "user" : { "name"
: "Michael", } } "photoUrl" : "https://..."
Bad API vs Good API { "user" : { "name"
: "Michael", } } "photoUrl" : { "width" : 300, "height" : 500, "url" : "https://...", "palette" : {} }
DataBinding void onBindViewHolder(ViewHolder vh, int pos) { vh.binding.setItem(items.get(pos)); vh.binding.executePendingBindings(); }
Data Updates
updated list arrives void onFetched(List<News> news) { myAdapter.setNews(news); myAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged(); }
None
onBind onBind onBind onBind onBind create new VH
long getItemId(int position) { news.get(position).getId(); }
onBind unnecessary onBind, measure, layout
SortedList SortedList<Item> mySortedList = new SortedList<Item>(Item.class, new SortedListAdapterCallback<Item>(myAdapter) { @Override
public int compare(Item item1, Item item2) { return item1.id - item2.id; } @Override public boolean areItemsTheSame(Item item1, Item item2) { return item1.id == item2.id; } @Override public boolean areContentsTheSame(Item oldItem, Item newItem) { return oldItem.text.equals(newItem.text); } });
SortedList void onFetched(List<News> newsList) { mySortedList.addAll(newsList); }
Sort By Votes
SortedList SortedList<Item> mySortedList = new SortedList<Item>(Item.class, new SortedListAdapterCallback<Item>(myAdapter) { @Override
public int compare(Item item1, Item item2) { return item1.id - item2.id; } … }); update compare method
SortedList SortedList<Item> mySortedList = new SortedList<Item>(Item.class, new SortedListAdapterCallback<Item>(myAdapter) { @Override

SortedList::updateItemAt Map<Integer, Item> items; // item id -> Item void
insert(Item item) { Item existing = items.put(item.id, item); if (existing == null) { mySortedList.add(item); } else { int ind = mySortedList.indexOf(existing); mySortedList.updateItemAt(ind, item); } }
Introducing…
DiffUtil
DiffUtil DiffResult result = DiffUtil.calculateDiff(new MyCallback(oldList, newList)); myAdapter.setItems(newList); result.dispatchUpdatesTo(myAdapter);
DiffUtil.Callback class MyCallback extends DiffUtil.Callback { @Override public int getOldListSize()
{ return mOld.size(); } @Override public int getNewListSize() { return mNew.size(); } @Override public boolean areItemsTheSame(int oldItemPosition, int newItemPosition) { return mOld.get(oldItemPosition).id == mNew.get(newItemPosition).id; } @Override public boolean areContentsTheSame(int oldItemPosition, int newItemPosition){ return mOld.get(oldItemPosition).equals(mNew.get(newItemPosition)); } }
DiffUtil.Callback @Override @Nullable public Object getChangePayload(int oldItemPosition, int newItemPosition) {
Item oldItem = mOldItems.get(oldItemPosition); Item newItem = mNewItems.get(newItemPosition); if (oldItem.votes != newItem.votes) { return VOTES; } return null; }
Adapter::onBindViewHolder @Override public void onBindViewHolder(RecyclerView.ViewHolder holder, int position,List<Object> payloads) {
if (payloads.isEmpty()) { onBindViewHolder(holder, position); } else { if (payloads.contains(VOTES)) { holder.voteCount.setText("" + item.votes); } } }
DiffUtil Available in 24.2
Resource Management
ViewHolder Lifecycle onCreate onViewAttachedToWindow onViewDetachedFromWindow onRecycled onBindViewHolder the same item
stop playing video start playing video
ViewHolder Lifecycle onCreate onViewAttachedToWindow onViewDetachedFromWindow onRecycled onBindViewHolder might be a
different item release video resources acquire video resources
RecyclerView is Async
RecyclerView Update Cycle on frame handle pending changes
RecyclerView Update Cycle on frame handle pending changes scroll to
position notify data change smooth scroll all structural changes postponed until next layout
RecyclerView::scrollToPosition recyclerView.scrollToPosition(15); int x = layoutManager.getFirstVisibleItemPosition(); x == 15 ?
RecyclerView::scrollToPosition recyclerView.scrollToPosition(15); int x = layoutManager.getFirstVisibleItemPosition(); x == 15 ?
RecyclerView::scrollToPosition onInit void onCreate(SavedInstanceState state) { .... mRecyclerView.scrollToPosition(selectedPosition); mRecyclerView.setAdapter(myAdapter); }
will it work? ✓
RecyclerView::scrollToPosition onInit void onCreate(SavedInstanceState state) { .... mRecyclerView.scrollToPosition(selectedPosition); model.loadItems(items ->
mRecyclerView.setAdapter( new ItemAdapter(items)); ); } will it work? ✓
RecyclerView::scrollToPosition onInit void onCreate(SavedInstanceState state) { .... mRecyclerView.scrollToPosition(selectedPosition); model.loadItems(items ->
mRecyclerView.setAdapter( new ItemAdapter(items)); ); } will it work? ✓ No layout happens until both Adapter and LayoutManager are set.
ViewHolder ++
Sad ViewHolder class ViewHolder { TextView title; TextView body; ImageView
icon; } void onBindViewHolder(ViewHolder vh, int pos) { Item item = items.get(pos); title.setText(item.getTitle()); body.setText(item.getBody()); imageLoader.loadImage(icon, item.IconUrl()); }
Happy ViewHolder class ViewHolder { ... public bindTo(Item item, ImageLoader
imageLoader) { title.setText(item.getTitle()); body.setText(item.getBody()); imageLoader.loadImage(icon, item.IconUrl()); } } void onBindViewHolder(ViewHolder vh, int position) { vh.bindTo(items.get(position), mImageLoader); }
View Types
Adapter::getItemViewType @Override public int getItemViewType(int position) { User user =
mItems.get(position); if (user.isPremium()) { return TYPE_PREMIUM; } return TYPE_BASIC; }
Adapter::onCreateViewHolder public RecyclerView.ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) { View view;
switch (viewType) { case TYPE_PREMIUM: view = mLayoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.premium, parent, false); break; case TYPE_BASIC: view = mLayoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.basic, parent, false); break; } return new UserViewHolder(view); }
Adapter::getItemViewType @Override public int getItemViewType(int position) { User user =
mItems.get(position); if (user.isPremium()) { return TYPE_PREMIUM; } return TYPE_BASIC; }
Adapter::getItemViewType @Override public int getItemViewType(int position) { User user =
mItems.get(position); if (user.isPremium()) { return R.layout.premium; } return R.layout.basic; }
Adapter::onCreateViewHolder public RecyclerView.ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) { View view
= mLayoutInflater.inflate(viewType, parent, false); return new UserViewHolder(view); } it is the R.layout id ;)
