MutableSelection

Kotlin |Java

class MutableSelection<K : Any!> : Selection<K>

kotlin.Any
↳	androidx.recyclerview.selection.Selection<K>
	↳	androidx.recyclerview.selection.MutableSelection

Subclass of Selection exposing public support for mutating the underlying selection data. This is useful for clients of SelectionTracker that wish to manipulate a copy of selection data obtained via SelectionTracker#copySelection(MutableSelection).

While the Selection class is not intrinsically immutable, it is not mutable by non-library code. Furthermore the value returned from SelectionTracker#getSelection() is a live view of the underlying selection, mutable by the library itself.

MutableSelection allows clients to obtain a mutable copy of the Selection state held by the selection library. This is useful in situations where a stable snapshot of the selection is required.

Example

MutableSelection snapshot = new MutableSelection();
  selectionTracker.copySelection(snapshot);
 
  // Clear the user visible selection.
  selectionTracker.clearSelection();
  // tracker.getSelection().isEmpty() will be true.
  // shapshot has a copy of the previous selection.
