    Study Notes

    Android Display Lists

    • Android offers three primary methods for displaying interactive data:
      • Drop-Down List (Spinner): A pre-built Android widget.
      • ListView: Primarily for simple data displays, though can be complex.
      • RecyclerView: A more advanced ListView successor, offering flexibility in display format.

    Spinner

    • Utilizes an XML spinner widget.
    • Requires a data source (e.g., array of strings).
    • Employs an ArrayAdapter to display data.
    • Provides an interface for handling user selections.
    • Code example shows how to populate a spinner with an array and handle selections using an AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener.

    ListView

    • Can be a standalone or incorporated component in a layout.
    • Can be exceedingly simple or complex with custom layouts.
    • List items are typically clickable.
    • The example displays a simple ListView with basic components.
    • The concept of a ListView "fragment" (or similar) is introduced.

    ListView and ListFragment

    Android offers a ListFragment built into the SDK.

    • It provides a default layout featuring a ListView.

    Changing the Layout

    • Adapters are used to manipulate a ListView (or RecyclerView).
    • Developers can design custom layouts using XML.

    More Complex ListViews.

    • To showcase multiple data points per item, extend ArrayAdapter or BaseAdapter.

    ArrayAdapter

    • Extends BaseAdapter.
    • Provides pre-built methods for a ListView (or RecyclerView).
    • Demonstrates creating an adapter for a model class.

    getView Method

    • Creates views (TextView, CheckBox in the example) within the adapter.
    • Sets data for each list item.
    • Handles checked states for CheckBoxes.

    Custom ListViews

    • For intricate displays, potentially extending BaseAdapter for customized behavior.
    • Demonstrates creating a Phone class to manage List data, then an adapter extending BaseAdapter.

    RecyclerView

    • More advanced than ListView for large datasets.
    • Manages layout efficiently (holds a limited number of visible views at any time during scrolling.)
    • Offers animations for common item operations.
    • Useful for displaying numerous items with dynamic updates.

    RecyclerView (2)

    • Uses LayoutManager and Adapter.
    • CardView is frequently paired with RecyclerView for consistent display.

    RecyclerView Adapter (2)

    • Introduces viewBinding (a feature for automatically generating views from layouts).

    My_row.xml and cardView

    • Demonstrates a custom card view in XML format.
    • The code includes a picture, and a name.
    • The CardView component, crucial for visual aspects.

    RecyclerView Adapter (3)

    • Explains how the adapter's onBindViewHolder function populates data into the viewholders, creating the display.
    • Shows how to set data using generated views in layouts (XML).

    Refresh and Swipes.

    • SwipeRefreshLayout allows for refreshing a view.
    • Provides left/right swipe gestures for item interactions in list displays.

    Swipe Down/refresh

    • SwipeRefreshLayout component to manage the refresh behavior for an Android view such as RecyclerView.

    Swipe Left/Right Code

    • ItemTouchHelper callbacks for handling swipe gestures and animations in a RecyclerView.
    • Demonstrates how to configure the ItemTouchHelper to recognize actions such as swiping an item to the left to delete.
