timber VS groupie

To try and fix this problem fast I knew I needed some sort of logging and that is when I discovered Timber and Firebase Crashlynics. I then used THIS video to set both of them up and to create a decent crash reporting system.

Timber

Do you still use the Android Timber lib? The only real pro I see is that you don't need to declare the Tag, other than that that "pro" where each call checks if debug or not I wonder why you would like to have that, I mean what I want is all debug-only logs to get stripped out from the code, and instead of calling if(BuildConfig.Debug) on each Timer.xy() call why not create an extra Application class under the debug folder where logs are activated? Just trying to figure out of this lib that actually started like 9 years ago is still needed or not really anymore. https://github.com/JakeWharton/timber

One of the options could be to setup logging to the file within the app and sync it with backend once necessary or required. This could be achieved by using library, such as Timber and setting up local file. Depending on your constraints, such as file size, you might want to include a file rotation strategy, e.g. start a new file and remove the old one.

Timber for logging

Same as in Timber

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.
