PagedList.Builder

Added in 2.0.0
Deprecated in 3.0.0

Builder class for PagedList.

pagingSource, config, notifyDispatcher and fetchDispatcher must all be provided.

A PagedList queries initial data from its PagingSource during construction, to avoid empty PagedLists being presented to the UI when possible. It's preferred to present initial data, so that the UI doesn't show an empty list, or placeholders for a few frames, just before showing initial content.

LivePagedListBuilder does this creation on a background thread automatically, if you want to receive a LiveData<PagedList<...>>.

Parameters
<Key : Any>

Type of key used to load data from the PagingSource.

<Value : Any>

Type of items held and loaded by the PagedList.

Public functions

build

fun build(): PagedList<Value>

Creates a PagedList with the given parameters.

This call will dispatch the androidx.paging.PagingSource's loadInitial method immediately on the current thread, and block the current on the result. This method should always be called on a worker thread to prevent blocking the main thread.

It's fine to create a PagedList with an async PagingSource on the main thread, such as in the constructor of a ViewModel. An async network load won't block the initial call to the Load function. For a synchronous PagingSource such as one created from a Room database, a LiveData<PagedList> can be safely constructed with androidx.paging.LivePagedListBuilder on the main thread, since actual construction work is deferred, and done on a background thread.

While build will always return a PagedList, it's important to note that the PagedList initial load may fail to acquire data from the PagingSource. This can happen for example if the PagingSource is invalidated during its initial load. If this happens, the PagedList will be immediately detached, and you can retry construction (including setting a new PagingSource).

Returns
PagedList<Value>

The newly constructed PagedList

setBoundaryCallback

fun setBoundaryCallback(
    boundaryCallback: PagedList.BoundaryCallback<Value>?
): PagedList.Builder<Key, Value>

The BoundaryCallback for out of data events.

Pass a BoundaryCallback to listen to when the PagedList runs out of data to load.

Parameters
boundaryCallback: PagedList.BoundaryCallback<Value>?

BoundaryCallback for listening to out-of-data events.

Returns
PagedList.Builder<Key, Value>

this

setCoroutineScope

fun setCoroutineScope(coroutineScope: CoroutineScope): PagedList.Builder<Key, Value>

Set the CoroutineScope that page loads should be launched within.

The set coroutineScope allows a PagingSource to cancel running load operations when the results are no longer needed - for example, when the containing Activity is destroyed.

Defaults to GlobalScope.

Parameters
coroutineScope: CoroutineScope
Returns
PagedList.Builder<Key, Value>

this

setFetchDispatcher

fun setFetchDispatcher(fetchDispatcher: CoroutineDispatcher): PagedList.Builder<Key, Value>

The CoroutineDispatcher used to fetch additional pages from the PagingSource.

Does not affect initial load, which will be done immediately on whichever thread the PagedList is created on.

Parameters
fetchDispatcher: CoroutineDispatcher

CoroutineDispatcher used to fetch from PagingSources, generally a background thread pool for e.g. I/O or network loading.

Returns
PagedList.Builder<Key, Value>

this

setFetchExecutor

fun setFetchExecutor(fetchExecutor: Executor): PagedList.Builder<Key, Value>

The Executor used to fetch additional pages from the PagingSource.

Does not affect initial load, which will be done immediately on whichever thread the PagedList is created on.

Parameters
fetchExecutor: Executor

Executor used to fetch from PagingSources, generally a background thread pool for e.g. I/O or network loading.

Returns
PagedList.Builder<Key, Value>

this

setInitialKey

fun setInitialKey(initialKey: Key?): PagedList.Builder<Key, Value>

Sets the initial key the PagingSource should load around as part of initialization.

Parameters
initialKey: Key?

Key the PagingSource should load around as part of initialization.

Returns
PagedList.Builder<Key, Value>

this

setNotifyDispatcher

fun setNotifyDispatcher(notifyDispatcher: CoroutineDispatcher): PagedList.Builder<Key, Value>

The CoroutineDispatcher defining where page loading updates are dispatched.

Parameters
notifyDispatcher: CoroutineDispatcher

CoroutineDispatcher that receives PagedList updates, and where PagedList.Callback calls are dispatched. Generally, this is the ui/main thread.

Returns
PagedList.Builder<Key, Value>

this

setNotifyExecutor

fun setNotifyExecutor(notifyExecutor: Executor): PagedList.Builder<Key, Value>

The Executor defining where page loading updates are dispatched.

Parameters
notifyExecutor: Executor

Executor that receives PagedList updates, and where PagedList.Callback calls are dispatched. Generally, this is the ui/main thread.
