ItemFragment - The fragment that holds and initializes the adapter.ĭummy/Dumm圜ontent - Dummy items for populating the list. MyItemRecyclerViewAdapter - Creates the view holder which, well, holds the views for items in the list and binds the data to the views inside the view holder. This creates a RecyclerView with lots of boilerplate code. Right click on the project folder -> add -> fragment (list) -> finish

When creating the project, we’ll choose to add a scrolling activity for this example, but you can choose any layout you want.

Make a new project (or open an existing one). Seeing as the RecyclerView sample app is outdated and doesn’t even compile, this tutorial aims to show a relatively quick way to add a RecyclerView to modern Android Studio projects, and use it to display a list of random images we’ll download to our device. It manages and optimizes the view holder bindings according to the scrolling position, and recycles the views so that it uses only a small number of views for a large number of list items. The RecyclerView widget is a more advanced and flexible version of ListView.
