Lista helps building composable sections and nested lists in RecyclerViews. It also comes with useful Espresso extensions that help you build UI tests that perform actions in lists.

- Define a ListaSection. Example:
class CardSection : ListaSection<CardModel, CardSection.VH>() {
override fun onCreateViewHolder(parent: ViewGroup): VH {
return VH(inflate(parent, R.layout.section_card))
}
class VH(view: View) : ListaSectionViewHolder<CardModel>(view) {
private val binding = SectionCardBinding.bind(view)
override fun onBound(item: CardModel, payloads: List<Any>) {
super.onBound(item, payloads)
binding.title.text = item.title
binding.title.isVisible = item.showTitle
}
}
}
- Create a
ListaSectionRegistry
likeClassSectionRegistry
and register your sections:
val sectionRegistry = ClassSectionRegistry()
sectionRegistry.register(CardSection())
- Create a ListaAdapter and assign the
ListaSectionRegistry
you created:
val diffItemCallback = object : DiffUtil.ItemCallback<SectionModel>() {
override fun areItemsTheSame(oldItem: SectionModel, newItem: SectionModel): Boolean {
return oldItem.getId() == newItem.getId()
}
override fun areContentsTheSame(oldItem: SectionModel, newItem: SectionModel): Boolean {
return oldItem.equals(newItem)
}
}
val adapter = ListaAdapter(diffItemCallback)
adapter.setSectionRegistry(sectionRegistry)
- Use
submit
orsubmitNow
to dispatch items to the adapter:
val adapterContentList = listOf(
CardModel(title = "test", titleVisible = true)
)
adapter.submit(adapterContentList)
If you want to add a section that contains a nested list, you can extend your section from ListaNestedSection
and/or your ViewHolder from ListaNestedSectionViewHolder
A ListaNestedSection
contains a RecyclerView.RecycledViewPool
for re-using ViewHolders across different lists
and a ListaScrollStateManager
to persist their scroll state.
class CardListSection : ListaNestedSection<CardListModel, CardListSection.VH>() {
override fun onCreateViewHolder(parent: ViewGroup): VH {
return VH(inflate(parent, R.layout.card_list))
}
class VH(view: View) : ListaNestedSectionViewHolder<CardListModel>(view) {
private val binding = SectionCardListBinding.bind(view)
private val adapter = ListaAdapter(ListModelDiffCallback())
override fun onCreated() {
super.onCreated()
// Setup your RecyclerView here
}
override fun updateAdapter(item: CardListModel) {
adapter.submitNow(item.list)
}
override fun getRecyclerView(): RecyclerView = binding.cardRecyclerView
override fun getAdapter(): RecyclerView.Adapter<*> = adapter
override fun getScrollStateKey(item: CardListModel): String = item.getId()
}
}
ListaSpanLookup
can be used to provide different span sizes for each section.
First, create a ListaSpanLookup
by passing the adapter and a default span size:
val layoutManager = recyclerView.layoutManager as GridLayoutManager
val spanSizeLookup = ListaSpanLookup(adapter, defaultSpanSize = layoutManager.spanCount)
layoutManager.spanSizeLookup = spanSizeLookup
Now you can register each span size with setSpanSizeForSection
:
spanSizeLookup.setSpanSizeForSection(cardSection, 1)
The lista-testing
artifact provides useful Espresso extensions for testing RecyclerViews.
ListaActions
provides the following:
smoothScrollTo
- smooth scrolls a RecyclerView to a positionwaitForItemViewLayout
- waits until a RecyclerView item view has been laid out
ListaAssertions
provides the following:
withItemCount
- asserts the item count of the adapter
ListaNestedMatchers
provides the following:
withAscendant
- matches a View with an ascendant that matches aMatcher
withNestedRecyclerViewInSection
- matches a RecyclerView inside a ViewHolderwithNestedRecyclerView
- similar towithNestedRecyclerViewInSection
but assumes the RecyclerView is the ViewHolder's itemView.withNestedView
- matches a View inside a nested RecyclerViewwithNestedChildView
- matches a child View of a View that's inside a nested RecyclerView
