Should we use DiffUtils over notifyDataSetChanged all the time, or there is case where notifyDataSetChanged perform better? What is your practical experience on this?
1 project | /r/androiddev | 17 Dec 2022

We know ListAdapter is using user thread to perform DiffUtil.calculateDiff computation, internally. We do not go for it, because we are using https://github.com/luizgrp/SectionedRecyclerViewAdapter to support multiple sections. We however already fix the ANR, by looking at ListAdapter implementation, and mimic such implementation so that it works well with our sectioned recycler view adapter + DiffUtil.Callback.
