Epoxy VS groupie

You may use epoxy recyclerview by airbnb. Check it out here

Epoxy by Airbnb

Because that's what the grown folks do!!! HERE is the Epoxy library which is AirBnb's open source custom view library for complex RecyclerViews

Epoxy is sharing viewpools on an activity level by default, for example https://github.com/airbnb/epoxy/blob/master/epoxy-adapter/src/main/java/com/airbnb/epoxy/ActivityRecyclerPool.kt

There's a library called Epoxy https://github.com/airbnb/epoxy/

I used to hate recyclerview and writing their adapters each time until i came across Airbnb Epoxy. Now I've forgotten how to write View Holders and sh*t. This library has made more comfortable with RV. I haven't started compose because i feel it's still not ready for complicated apps like content apps or e commerce etc.

Airbnb built epoxy as a way to help do the second approach: https://github.com/airbnb/epoxy

I would suggest epoxy as well. The bigger cards would use Grouping and then everything is just EpoxyModel.

I've been hearing for 2 years that the primary benefit of Compose is that you "no longer need to write a RecyclerView.Adapter", not realizing that you can use something like Groupie and effectively turn RecyclerView into adapter.setItems(listOf(Item1(), Item2())) just like in Compose.

https://github.com/lisawray/groupie Maybe it can help for your purposes

Been using RecyclerView and haven't written an adapter in a very long time because you can abstract it away

Technically you can also use a library that hides this from you, for example I tend to use https://github.com/lisawray/groupie with BindableItem

There are also libs that help you handle this, there's gorupie here https://github.com/lisawray/groupie and also Expandable RV here https://github.com/thoughtbot/expandable-recycler-view

I think Groupie is nice, although Google seems to think of each Adapter being able to describe itself "as an item view type". So you could build "multiple item view types" using a concatAdapter of N ListAdapters. Tricky.

We've been using https://github.com/lisawray/groupie/ which offers a common GroupAdapter for all Items, so that each RecyclerView Item type can be encapsulated in its own class, Item.

Don't write adapters or view holders for RecyclerView, use something like Groupie.
