When should you use Adapters in Android development?

In Android development, Adapters are used when you need to bridge the gap between a data source and a UI component that displays the data in a list or grid format. Adapters act as intermediaries to provide the view for each item in the data source, making them essential for working with list-based UI elements such as ListView, RecyclerView, and GridView.

Here are some scenarios when you should use Adapters:

• When displaying a dynamic list of items that can change over time or be loaded from a database or API.
• If your data needs to be displayed in a specific layout or formatting that differs from the default.
• When you want to optimize performance for large datasets by recycling views through RecyclerView.
• When creating custom lists where each item has its distinct layout and behavior.
