groupie VS glide

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

RecyclerView utilities: Epoxy, Groupie, AdapterDelegates

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.

Do you mean what I use to show the images? I am using the Glide library, you can find more information here: https://github.com/bumptech/glide

as mentioned in the other post i don't have too much insight in the art loading because its using https://github.com/bumptech/glide for all image loading. Resolution is the only thing i know for sure can prevent an imagine from successfully loading, whether or not that resolution is fixed or if its dependent on the device I have not been able to determine

Ah, yes, downloading images as a files works completely differently from displaying images and it doesn't use any cache. Though in theory you could rewrite downloading logic to use the same mechanism as display (which is Glide)

Glide

You can also take a look at Coil, Picasso or Glide which usually have some kind of crossfade animation when the image loads.

Image loading: Glide, Picasso, Coil, Fresco

Shortly said, they use React generally with fast-image and Glide for better loading of images Hermes JS Engine for app optimization. The app itself seems to generally use Kotlin and a few Java libraries and they also implemented Sqlite but I'm not sure about the use case for it probably they use it for progress though (The Developer/Marketer needs to confirm this), lastly they seem to use IntellJ Idea for programming and probably compiling

If you see a file like this: https://github.com/bumptech/glide/blob/master/library/src/main/java/com/bumptech/glide/RequestBuilder.java tell me that your eyes don't immediately go to the comments first instead of the code.
