Peasy RecyclerView

What's good?

A not-so-powerful and yet easy peasy tool to setup your Android RecyclerView in a convenient way. Be practical, may not be fancy.

Provides a lot override methods by handling a lot boilerplate behind the scene.

Yes you can override them anytime.

Easy hands on, easy peasy!

• Provides various RecyclerView presentation template:

  1. Vertical List
  2. Horizontal List
  3. Basic Grid
  4. Vertical Staggered Grid
  5. Horizontal Staggered Grid

• Provides handy way to setup RecyclerView presentation without boilerplate by using extending abstract class during compilation:

  1. PeasyRecyclerView.VerticalList
  2. PeasyRecyclerView.HorizontalList
  3. PeasyRecyclerView.BasicGrid
  4. PeasyRecyclerView.VerticalStaggeredGrid
  5. PeasyRecyclerView.HorizontalStaggeredGrid

• Provides handy way to setup RecyclerView presentation without boilerplate by using method calls during runtime:

  1. asVerticalListView()
  2. asHorizontalListView()
  3. asGridView()
  4. asVerticalStaggeredGridView()
  5. asHorizontalStaggeredGridView()

• Elimates needs of anonymous inner-classes for listeners by overriding methods intuitively:

  1. onItemClick(...)
  2. onItemLongClick(...)
  3. onViewScrolled(...)
  4. onViewScrollStateChanged(...)
  5. onViewReachingEndOfList(...)
  6. onInterceptTouchEvent(...)

• Retains Android promoted implement in better ways, no proprietary knowledge required to start with, you will still see these:

  1. onCreateViewHolder(...)
  2. onBindViewHolder(...)
  3. getItemViewType(...)

Intuitive, Better writability & readability:

Basic Template

• Let's set up RecyclerView as Vertical List

public final class SampleRV extends PeasyRecyclerView.VerticalList<PeasyRVInbox.ModelInbox> {

        public SampleRV(@NonNull Context context, RecyclerView recyclerView, ArrayList arrayList) {
            super(context, recyclerView, arrayList);
        }

        @Override
        protected PeasyViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
            // TODO Do Nothing but initializing view holder with layout_id
            return null;
        }

        @Override
        protected int getItemViewType(int position, PeasyRVInbox.ModelInbox item) {
            // TODO Do Nothing but returning view type accordingly
            return 0;
        }

        @Override
        protected void onBindViewHolder(Context context, PeasyViewHolder holder, int position, PeasyRVInbox.ModelInbox item) {
            // TODO Do Nothing but checking instance and populating item to view with view holder
        }
    }

Comprehensive Template

• Elimates boilerplate implementation such as listeners
• Just override intuitively what you can find
• Popular implementation onItemClick, onViewScrolled

public final class SampleRV extends PeasyRecyclerView.VerticalList<PeasyRVInbox.ModelInbox> {

        public SampleRV(@NonNull Context context, RecyclerView recyclerView, ArrayList arrayList) {
            super(context, recyclerView, arrayList);
        }

        @Override
        protected PeasyViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
            // TODO Do Nothing but initializing view holder with layout_id
            return null;
        }

        @Override
        protected int getItemViewType(int position, PeasyRVInbox.ModelInbox item) {
            // TODO Do Nothing but returning view type accordingly
            return 0;
        }

        @Override
        protected void onBindViewHolder(Context context, PeasyViewHolder holder, int position, PeasyRVInbox.ModelInbox item) {
            // TODO Do Nothing but checking instance and populating item to view with view holder
        }

        @Override
        public void onItemClick(View view, int viewType, int position, PeasyRVInbox.ModelInbox item, PeasyViewHolder viewHolder) {
            // TODO Do Nothing but defining click action on PeasyRVInbox item
            super.onItemClick(view, viewType, position, item, viewHolder);
        }

        @Override
        public boolean onItemLongClick(View view, int viewType, int position, PeasyRVInbox.ModelInbox item, PeasyViewHolder viewHolder) {
            // TODO Do Nothing but defining long click action on PeasyRVInbox item
            return super.onItemLongClick(view, viewType, position, item, viewHolder);
        }

        @Override
        public void onViewScrolled(RecyclerView recyclerView, int dx, int dy) {
            // TODO Everything during RecyclerView scrolling
            super.onViewScrolled(recyclerView, dx, dy);
        }

        @Override
        public void onViewScrollStateChanged(RecyclerView recyclerView, int newState) {
            // TODO Everything after RecyclerView scroll state updated
            super.onViewScrollStateChanged(recyclerView, newState);
        }

        @Override
        public void onViewReachingEndOfList(RecyclerView recyclerView, int threshold) {
            // TODO Everything during RecyclerView scrolled to reach End of List 
           super.onViewReachingEndOfList(recyclerView, threshold);
        }

        @Override
        public void onViewInterceptTouchEvent(RecyclerView rv, MotionEvent e) {
            super.onViewInterceptTouchEvent(rv, e);
        }

    }
