Android Basics – An introduction to the Recycler View Adapter

Recycler View is an efficient and an advanced version of a List View. It can be used to display a list of Card Views.

This widget is a container for displaying large data sets that can be scrolled very efficiently by maintaining a limited number of views.

In order to do this it uses an Adapter and a Layout Manager. The Adapter needs to be created by you and should be a sub class of RecyclerView.Adapter

The Adapter is responsible to create and configure the View.
