SortedList
extends Object
| java.lang.Object | |
| ↳ | android.support.v7.util.SortedList<T> |
A Sorted list implementation that can keep items in order and also notify for changes in the
list
such that it can be bound to a RecyclerView.Adapter.
It keeps items ordered using the compare(Object, Object) method and uses
binary search to retrieve items. If the sorting criteria of your items may change, make sure you
call appropriate methods while editing them to avoid data inconsistencies.
You can control the order of items and change notifications via the SortedList.Callback parameter.

Public methods
add
int add (T item)
Adds the given item to the list. If this is a new item, SortedList calls
onInserted(int, int).
If the item already exists in the list and its sorting criteria is not changed, it is
replaced with the existing Item. SortedList uses
areItemsTheSame(Object, Object) to check if two items are the same item
and uses areContentsTheSame(Object, Object) to decide whether it should
call onChanged(int, int) or not. In both cases, it always removes the
reference to the old item and puts the new item into the backing array even if
areContentsTheSame(Object, Object) returns false.
If the sorting criteria of the item is changed, SortedList won't be able to find
its duplicate in the list which will result in having a duplicate of the Item in the list.
If you need to update sorting criteria of an item that already exists in the list,
use updateItemAt(int, Object). You can find the index of the item using
indexOf(Object) before you update the object.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
item |
T: The item to be added into the list. |
| Returns | |
|---|---|
int |
The index of the newly added item. |
addAll
void addAll (T... items)
Adds the given items to the list. Does not modify or retain the input.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
items |
T: Array of items to be added into the list.
|
See also:
addAll
void addAll (Collection<T> items)
Adds the given items to the list. Does not modify or retain the input.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
items |
Collection: Collection of items to be added into the list.
|
See also:
addAll
void addAll (T[] items,
boolean mayModifyInput)Adds the given items to the list. Equivalent to calling add(T) in a loop,
except the callback events may be in a different order/granularity since addAll can batch
them for better performance.
If allowed, will reference the input array during, and possibly after, the operation to avoid extra memory allocation, in which case you should not continue to reference or modify the array yourself.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
items |
T: Array of items to be added into the list. |
mayModifyInput |
boolean: If true, SortedList is allowed to modify and permanently reference the
input array. |
See also:
beginBatchedUpdates
void beginBatchedUpdates ()
Batches adapter updates that happen after calling this method and before calling
endBatchedUpdates(). For example, if you add multiple items in a loop
and they are placed into consecutive indices, SortedList calls
onInserted(int, int) only once with the proper item count. If an event
cannot be merged with the previous event, the previous event is dispatched
to the callback instantly.
After running your data updates, you must call endBatchedUpdates()
which will dispatch any deferred data change event to the current callback.
A sample implementation may look like this:
mSortedList.beginBatchedUpdates();
try {
mSortedList.add(item1)
mSortedList.add(item2)
mSortedList.remove(item3)
...
} finally {
mSortedList.endBatchedUpdates();
}
Instead of using this method to batch calls, you can use a Callback that extends
SortedList.BatchedCallback. In that case, you must make sure that you are manually calling
dispatchLastEvent() right after you complete your data changes.
Failing to do so may create data inconsistencies with the Callback.
If the current Callback is an instance of SortedList.BatchedCallback, calling this method
has no effect.
endBatchedUpdates
void endBatchedUpdates ()
Ends the update transaction and dispatches any remaining event to the callback.
get
T get (int index)
Returns the item at the given index.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
index |
int: The index of the item to retrieve. |
| Returns | |
|---|---|
T |
The item at the given index. |
| Throws | |
|---|---|
IndexOutOfBoundsException |
if provided index is negative or larger than the size of the list. |
indexOf
int indexOf (T item)
Returns the position of the provided item.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
item |
T: The item to query for position. |
| Returns | |
|---|---|
int |
The position of the provided item or INVALID_POSITION if item is not in the
list.
|
recalculatePositionOfItemAt
void recalculatePositionOfItemAt (int index)
This method can be used to recalculate the position of the item at the given index, without
triggering an onChanged(int, int) callback.
If you are editing objects in the list such that their position in the list may change but
you don't want to trigger an onChange animation, you can use this method to re-position it.
If the item changes position, SortedList will call onMoved(int, int)
without
calling onChanged(int, int).
A sample usage may look like:
final int position = mSortedList.indexOf(item);
item.incrementPriority(); // assume items are sorted by priority
mSortedList.recalculatePositionOfItemAt(position);
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
index |
int: The current index of the Item whose position should be re-calculated. |
See also:
remove
boolean remove (T item)
Removes the provided item from the list and calls onRemoved(int, int).
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
item |
T: The item to be removed from the list. |
| Returns | |
|---|---|
boolean |
True if item is removed, false if item cannot be found in the list. |
removeItemAt
T removeItemAt (int index)
Removes the item at the given index and calls onRemoved(int, int).
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
index |
int: The index of the item to be removed. |
| Returns | |
|---|---|
T |
The removed item. |
replaceAll
void replaceAll (T... items)
Replaces the current items with the new items, dispatching ListUpdateCallback events
for each change detected as appropriate. Does not modify or retain the input.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
items |
T: Array of items to replace current items.
|
See also:
replaceAll
void replaceAll (Collection<T> items)
Replaces the current items with the new items, dispatching ListUpdateCallback events
for each change detected as appropriate. Does not modify or retain the input.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
items |
Collection: Array of items to replace current items.
|
See also:
replaceAll
void replaceAll (T[] items,
boolean mayModifyInput)Replaces the current items with the new items, dispatching ListUpdateCallback events
for each change detected as appropriate.
If allowed, will reference the input array during, and possibly after, the operation to avoid extra memory allocation, in which case you should not continue to reference or modify the array yourself.
Note: this method does not detect moves or dispatch
onMoved(int, int) events. It instead treats moves as a remove
followed by an add and therefore dispatches onRemoved(int, int)
and onRemoved(int, int) events. See DiffUtil if you want
your implementation to dispatch move events.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
items |
T: Array of items to replace current items. |
mayModifyInput |
boolean: If true, SortedList is allowed to modify and permanently reference the
input array. |
See also:
size
int size ()
The number of items in the list.
| Returns | |
|---|---|
int |
The number of items in the list. |
updateItemAt
void updateItemAt (int index,
T item)Updates the item at the given index and calls onChanged(int, int) and/or
onMoved(int, int) if necessary.
You can use this method if you need to change an existing Item such that its position in the list may change.
If the new object is a different object (get(index) != item) and
areContentsTheSame(Object, Object) returns true, SortedList
avoids calling onChanged(int, int) otherwise it calls
onChanged(int, int).
If the new position of the item is different than the provided index,
SortedList
calls onMoved(int, int).
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
index |
int: The index of the item to replace |
item |
T: The item to replace the item at the given Index. |
