Using ListView or RecyclerView?

Question

Android

I always used ListView or GridView to build lists, but I found out that there is a new RecyclerView widget!
Is he really cooler?? Is it worth switching to it completely? Or when is it best to use it?

Answer 1

Yes, it is better to immediately change to it. You can use it with CoordinatorLayout, built-in animations, you can write your own layout types, ViewHolder "out of the box", and all sorts of other tricks. And it's very easy to use ListView as a replacement. Recommend.
