B4A Library [Lib, Chargeable] Amir_RecyclerView

New b4a library! :)

RecyclerView, an important part of the sdk and android for making a custom list with better Layout , animation , and fixed for large data set.

Amir_RecyclerView released new version that we call it AX_RecyclerView.

version 1.0.8 is last update for Amir_RecyclerView and we will work on AX_RecyclerView only in future.

RecyclerView Android X : https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/RecyclerView

"RecyclerView is part of the v7 support library which means you can use it on anything that has api 7 and up"

Advantages of using recyclerview instead listview:
  • ViewHolder Pattern
​
In a ListView, it was recommended to use the ViewHolder pattern but it was never a compulsion. In case of RecyclerView, this is mandatory using the RecyclerView.ViewHolder class. This is one of the major differences between the ListView and the RecyclerView.​
​

  • LayoutManager
​
This is another massive enhancement brought to the RecyclerView. In a ListView, the only type of view available is the vertical ListView. There is no official way to even implement a horizontal ListView.​
​
Now using a RecyclerView, we can have a:​
​
i) LinearLayoutManager - which supports both vertical and horizontal lists,​
ii) StaggeredLayoutManager - which supports Pinterest like staggered lists,​
iii) GridLayoutManager - which supports displaying grids as seen in Gallery apps.​
​
And the best thing is that we can do all these dynamically as we want.​
​

  • Item Animator
​
ListViews are lacking in support of good animations, but the RecyclerView brings a whole new dimension to it. Using the RecyclerView.ItemAnimator class, animating the views becomes so much easy and intuitive.​
​

  • Item Decoration
​
In case of ListViews, dynamically decorating items like adding borders or dividers was never easy. But in case of RecyclerView, the RecyclerView.ItemDecorator class gives huge control to the developers but makes things a bit more time consuming and complex.​

  • OnItemTouchListener
​
Intercepting item clicks on a ListView was simple, thanks to its AdapterView.OnItemClickListener interface. But the RecyclerView gives much more power and control to its developers by the RecyclerView. OnItemTouchListener but it complicates things a bit for the developer.​

Why you didn't change name of RecyclerViewPager to Recycler like in your code? ( see your designer layout , the view name and event name should be exactly same like your code ) Recycler as view name and Amir as event name like your code. also you forgot to change color of recycler view page to black to see the lable you added in oncreate.

I am happy to say four new plugins of Amir_RecyclerView (AX_RecyclerView) have been released.

  1. Amir_RVExpandableStickyHeader
  2. Amir_RVOverScroll
  3. AX_RVFastScroller
  4. AX_RVHeightStaggeredGrid
Amir_RVExpandableStickyHeader :
this is a new plugin which let you use StickyHeader and ExpandableList together

Amir_RVOverScroll :
Android: iOS-like over-scrolling effect applicable over almost all scrollable Android views.

AX_RVFastScroller :
ReyclerView with fast scrolling and scroll popup.

AX_RVHeightStaggeredGrid :
A drop-in custom layout manager for Android RecyclerView to make a grid layout of photos while keep their aspect ratios.
just need to return the aspect ratio of your image at the given position (ImageWidth/ImageHeight)

If you set a negative aspect ratio, consider it As span the entire row view. It will force a line break And add the view To its own line ( Example: Return -(100%x/ViewHeight) )

rv2.jpg


You can create any view in the adapter. just need to build a RVBasicAdapter just like the sample
and you can add SpaceItemDecoration simply (Example: Layout.AddItemSpacing(4dip,RV) )

There seem to be problems with the AX_RVFastScroll.
Both the Fast Scrollbar and the Scroll Popup are being drawn behind the items in the list.
For anything except a simple list they do not work correctly

No because RVDragItem plugin effect whole the content of item ( parent panel )

RVDragAndSwipe ( new plugin )

Demo

You can StartDrag with View clicks and disable default long press drag.
Based on this plugin RVDragItem and RVSwipeItem are deprecated
