How to migrate to Adapters from an older API?

If you are working with an older API in your Android project and looking to migrate to using Adapters, it's essential to understand the benefits that Adapters bring, such as improved data management and UI flexibility.

This guide will provide a simple example to help you transition to using Adapters effectively.

// Sample Adapter Code public class CustomAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter { private List dataList; public CustomAdapter(List dataList) { this.dataList = dataList; } @Override public ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) { View view = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()) .inflate(R.layout.item_layout, parent, false); return new ViewHolder(view); } @Override public void onBindViewHolder(ViewHolder holder, int position) { DataModel data = dataList.get(position); holder.textView.setText(data.getText()); } @Override public int getItemCount() { return dataList.size(); } public static class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder { public TextView textView; public ViewHolder(View view) { super(view); textView = view.findViewById(R.id.textView); } } }
