FastAdapter
FastAdapter is a framework for building complex Android lists by mapping data models to view templates. It functions as a RecyclerView adapter framework and composite list controller, aggregating multiple independent data sources and view types into a single unified list.
The library includes a specialized engine for flattening hierarchical data into expandable and collapsible rows. It provides a set of tools for managing user interactions, including clicks, long-presses, and item selection across diverse content types.
The project covers broad list management capabilities, such as layout composition with integrated headers and footers, data binding, and content filtering. It also provides mechanisms for pagination through chunked data paging and endless scrolling, as well as interface functionality for drag-and-drop reordering.
Features
- Android List Frameworks - Provides a comprehensive framework for building complex Android list and grid interfaces with minimal boilerplate.
- Nested List Flattening - Transforms nested hierarchical data into a linear sequence to enable expandable and collapsible list rows.
- Unified Scroll View Composition - Aggregates multiple independent data sources and layout patterns into a single unified scrollable interface.
- List Bindings - Simplifies the process of binding data collections to view templates using specialized base classes.
- Event Handling - Provides a centralized mechanism to detect and respond to clicks and long-presses on list items and internal views.
- Expandable List Frameworks - Implements the structural framework necessary to create collapsible and expandable hierarchical items in Android lists.
- Heterogeneous List Management - Manages lists containing multiple different view types and data sources while maintaining consistency across headers and footers.
- Item Selection States - Implements a system for tracking and managing single or multiple selected items within a list via touch triggers.
- Item-Specific State Tracking - Tracks persistent states for individual items, such as selection and expansion, to maintain UI consistency.
- List Extension Components - Ships modular extensions for implementing specialized list behaviors like drag-and-drop reordering and infinite scrolling.
- Android List Interaction Toolkits - Offers a toolkit for managing complex user interactions like long-presses and item selection across diverse list content.
- Adapter Event Dispatchers - Provides a centralized mechanism to route click and long-press events from various list items to registered listeners.
- Composite Patterns - Implements the composite design pattern to treat individual data sources and their aggregations uniformly within a list.
- Android List Paging - Provides performance-optimized data loading in small chunks to maintain smooth scrolling for large Android datasets.
- Pluggable Framework Extensions - Allows the injection of custom behaviors like infinite scrolling and drag-and-drop via pluggable extensions to the adapter lifecycle.
- Type-Safe Binding Registries - Uses a centralized registry to map data model classes to their corresponding view holder templates for type-safe binding.
- Drag-and-Drop Row Reorderers - Allows users to manually reposition list elements through touch-and-drag gestures to customize the display sequence.
- Infinite Scrolling - Implements the infinite scrolling UX pattern to automatically load additional data chunks as the user scrolls.
- Interactive List Items - Enhances list items with interactive capabilities including drag-and-drop reordering and custom click event handling.
- List Search Filters - Implements a system for hiding or showing specific list items based on custom search and filtering rules.
- Composite List Layouts - Combines headers, footers, and multiple independent data sources to display diverse content in a single structured list.
- List and Grid Components - Simplified list configuration.
- List Components - Simplified RecyclerView configuration.
- Mobile UI & Components - The bullet proof, fast and easy to use adapter library, which minimizes developing time to a fraction...
