PagedListAdapter

abstract class PagedListAdapter<T : Any, VH : RecyclerView.ViewHolder> : RecyclerView.Adapter

kotlin.Any
   ↳ androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView.Adapter
     ↳ androidx.paging.PagedListAdapter

RecyclerView.Adapter base class for presenting paged data from androidx.paging.PagedLists in a RecyclerView.

This class is a convenience wrapper around AsyncPagedListDiffer that implements common default behavior for item counting, and listening to PagedList update callbacks.

While using a LiveData is an easy way to provide data to the adapter, it isn't required - you can use submitList when new lists are available.

PagedListAdapter listens to PagedList loading callbacks as pages are loaded, and uses DiffUtil on a background thread to compute fine grained updates as new PagedLists are received.

Handles both the internal paging of the list as more data is loaded, and updates in the form of new PagedLists.

A complete usage pattern with Room would look like this:

@Dao
interface UserDao {
@Query("SELECT * FROM user ORDER BY lastName ASC")
public abstract DataSource.Factory<Integer, User> usersByLastName();
}

class MyViewModel extends ViewModel {
public final LiveData<PagedList<User>> usersList;
public MyViewModel(UserDao userDao) {
usersList = new LivePagedListBuilder&lt;>(
userDao.usersByLastName(), /* page size */20).build();
}
}

class MyActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedState) {
super.onCreate(savedState);
MyViewModel viewModel = new ViewModelProvider(this).get(MyViewModel.class);
RecyclerView recyclerView = findViewById(R.id.user_list);
UserAdapter&lt;User> adapter = new UserAdapter();
viewModel.usersList.observe(this, pagedList -> adapter.submitList(pagedList));
recyclerView.setAdapter(adapter);
}
}

class UserAdapter extends PagedListAdapter<User, UserViewHolder> {
public UserAdapter() {
super(DIFF_CALLBACK);
}
@Override
public void onBindViewHolder(UserViewHolder holder, int position) {
User user = getItem(position);
if (user != null) {
holder.bindTo(user);
} else {
// Null defines a placeholder item - PagedListAdapter will automatically invalidate
// this row when the actual object is loaded from the database
holder.clear();
}
}
public static final DiffUtil.ItemCallback&lt;User> DIFF_CALLBACK =
new DiffUtil.ItemCallback<User>() {
@Override
public boolean areItemsTheSame(@NonNull User oldUser, @NonNull User newUser) {
// User properties may have changed if reloaded from the DB, but ID is fixed
return oldUser.getId() == newUser.getId();
}
@Override
public boolean areContentsTheSame(@NonNull User oldUser, @NonNull User newUser) {
// NOTE: if you use equals, your object must properly override Object#equals()
// Incorrectly returning false here will result in too many animations.
return oldUser.equals(newUser);
}
}
}

Advanced users that wish for more control over adapter behavior, or to provide a specific base class should refer to AsyncPagedListDiffer, which provides the mapping from paging events to adapter-friendly callbacks.

Parameters
<T : Any>

Type of the PagedLists this Adapter will receive.

<VH : RecyclerView.ViewHolder>

A class that extends ViewHolder that will be used by the adapter.

Protected constructors

PagedListAdapter

protected <T : Any, VH : RecyclerView.ViewHolder> PagedListAdapter(
    config: AsyncDifferConfig<T>
)

PagedListAdapter

protected <T : Any, VH : RecyclerView.ViewHolder> PagedListAdapter(
    diffCallback: DiffUtil.ItemCallback<T>
)

Creates a PagedListAdapter with default threading and androidx.recyclerview.widget.ListUpdateCallback.

Convenience for PagedListAdapter, which uses default threading behavior.

Parameters
diffCallback: DiffUtil.ItemCallback<T>

The DiffUtil.ItemCallback instance to compare items in the list.

Public functions

addLoadStateListener

open fun addLoadStateListener(listener: (LoadType, LoadState) -> Unit): Unit

Add a LoadState listener to observe the loading state of the current PagedList.

As new PagedLists are submitted and displayed, the listener will be notified to reflect current LoadType.REFRESH, LoadType.PREPEND, and LoadType.APPEND states.

Parameters
listener: (LoadType, LoadState) -> Unit

Listener to receive LoadState updates.

getItemCount

open fun getItemCount(): Int

onCurrentListChanged

open fun onCurrentListChanged(currentList: PagedList<T>?): Unit

Called when the current PagedList is updated.

This may be dispatched as part of submitList if a background diff isn't needed (such as when the first list is passed, or the list is cleared). In either case, PagedListAdapter will simply call notifyItemRangeInserted/Removed(0, mPreviousSize).

This method will notbe called when the Adapter switches from presenting a PagedList to a snapshot version of the PagedList during a diff. This means you cannot observe each PagedList via this method.

Parameters
currentList: PagedList<T>?

new PagedList being displayed, may be null.

onCurrentListChanged

open fun onCurrentListChanged(
    previousList: PagedList<T>?,
    currentList: PagedList<T>?
): Unit

Called when the current PagedList is updated.

This may be dispatched as part of submitList if a background diff isn't needed (such as when the first list is passed, or the list is cleared). In either case, PagedListAdapter will simply call notifyItemRangeInserted/Removed(0, mPreviousSize).

This method will notbe called when the Adapter switches from presenting a PagedList to a snapshot version of the PagedList during a diff. This means you cannot observe each PagedList via this method.

Parameters
previousList: PagedList<T>?

PagedList that was previously displayed, may be null.

currentList: PagedList<T>?

new PagedList being displayed, may be null.

removeLoadStateListener

open fun removeLoadStateListener(listener: (LoadType, LoadState) -> Unit): Unit

Remove a previously registered LoadState listener.

Parameters
listener: (LoadType, LoadState) -> Unit

Previously registered listener.

submitList

open fun submitList(pagedList: PagedList<T>?): Unit

Set the new list to be displayed.

If a list is already being displayed, a diff will be computed on a background thread, which will dispatch Adapter.notifyItem events on the main thread.

Parameters
pagedList: PagedList<T>?

The new list to be displayed.

submitList

open fun submitList(pagedList: PagedList<T>?, commitCallback: Runnable?): Unit

Set the new list to be displayed.

If a list is already being displayed, a diff will be computed on a background thread, which will dispatch Adapter.notifyItem events on the main thread.

The commit callback can be used to know when the PagedList is committed, but note that it may not be executed. If PagedList B is submitted immediately after PagedList A, and is committed directly, the callback associated with PagedList A will not be run.

Parameters
pagedList: PagedList<T>?

The new list to be displayed.

commitCallback: Runnable?

Optional runnable that is executed when the PagedList is committed, if it is committed.

withLoadStateFooter

fun withLoadStateFooter(footer: LoadStateAdapter<*>): ConcatAdapter

Create a ConcatAdapter with the provided LoadStateAdapters displaying the LoadType.APPEND as a list item at the start of the presented list.

withLoadStateHeader

fun withLoadStateHeader(header: LoadStateAdapter<*>): ConcatAdapter

Create a ConcatAdapter with the provided LoadStateAdapters displaying the LoadType.PREPEND as a list item at the end of the presented list.

withLoadStateHeaderAndFooter

fun withLoadStateHeaderAndFooter(
    header: LoadStateAdapter<*>,
    footer: LoadStateAdapter<*>
): ConcatAdapter

Create a ConcatAdapter with the provided LoadStateAdapters displaying the LoadType.PREPEND and LoadType.APPENDs as list items at the start and end respectively.

Protected functions

getItem

protected open fun getItem(position: Int): T?

Public properties

currentList

open val currentListPagedList<T>?

Returns the PagedList currently being displayed by the PagedListAdapter.

This is not necessarily the most recent list passed to submitList, because a diff is computed asynchronously between the new list and the current list before updating the currentList value. May be null if no PagedList is being presented.

Returns
PagedList<T>?

The list currently being displayed.
