RecyclerView | Everything You Need to Know

In this video, you'll learn how to create a basic RecyclerView in Android Studio. The RecyclerView is a very common view used in app development to display large amounts of information to the user. Topics that will be covered in this video include creating a custom row layout using a CardView, setting up the RecyclerView Adapter, what the RecyclerView adapter methods are doing and why we need them, and finally a little bit of what the RecyclerView is doing in the background.

Android Studio is a great platform for creating apps that can be deployed on the google play store. If you're new to the series, I'd go and check out the Android Studio Playlist. There you will be able to see how to create basic apps so you can become a developer.

This has a criminally low view count compared to other similar tutorials. This helped me far more than any other tutorial for RecyclerView stuff I've looked at.

I rarely press the like button for a YouTube video, but this one deserves it with honors.
You are a life saver to me, sir.
My warm greetings from Egypt.

You have saved a couple university students with this video! Thank You!

[shanker]

I spent a whole day using examples from the teacher and other youtubers before I stumbled upon your channel. I followed your tutorial which was pretty straightforward and My recyclerview worked on the first attempt in my app, using my classes and objects. Hands Down the best tutorial on recyclerviews. You should keep making more of these videos. I am subscribing because you did such a great job.

I love that you took the time to explain each method when you implemented the adapter, was a pleasant surprise to not get the usual "just do as shown and continue"

[i_GHOST]

Dude you are absolutely a magician, it was so easy and fun to learn and understand at the same time the concept of Recycler View. Much love and respect man. Thanks for all the effort :)

[jesusg]

Thank you so much, this has been the best video explaining recyclerview I'd seen so far very friendly and complete. For your ten months out I supposed you are no longer in youtube, and actually most comments I'd seen says the great work you did. Wherever you are, thank you for all the users we'd seen this video really made a great impression. Have a great life, you deserve it!

[taylorteddy]

Bro your videos have the clearest explanation about android studio concepts that I can find on YouTube. Very well edited as well! Straight to the point, approriate fast-forwards, simple and clear explanations! Thanks so much and please keep up your work!

[solardex]

Love how you described every method instead of every other tutorial that says "now write all this junk here, dont care what it does just trust me". Excellent tutorial :)

In tutorials like this it can't be overstated how important correct vocal emphasis and sometimes repetition on the important items in the particular context is. So many tutorials just go through in an almost monotone voice. Building things in a logical order instead of going all over the place and not introducing new concepts beyond the expected level of knowledge is also important so you aren't left stupefied in a tornado of concepts you have never encountered before. Happily, Practical Coding exemplifies all these essential techniques.

I have watched a few recyclerview tutorials, but this one, with your patience, passion and performance is best so far.

[CforChillandCheese]

You are a very good narrator to explain RecycleView and wrote clean code. When I first build my setup recyclerView, I just dump everything inside OnCreate method, and I was confused of what I did. Hope I learn new things in your channel, please keep the channel live.

[idrios]

Seriously, this is the best explanation of RecyclerView I've found yet. I didn't realize that elements were more-or-less removed from the list while they're out of view (though makes sense for performance reasons when the list is massive, like a list that holds a chat conversation), so that diagram explained a ton of concepts really well that are not clear at all from the documentation.

Also, really good editing on this video in general.

[UstedTubo]

Wow, I feel like I've stumbled upon a treasure with this channel. How bizarrely rare to see an Android Studio tutorial YouTuber that you can both hear AND understand!

[DarrinDickey]

You are an awesome teacher! I've watched probably 20 videos on RecyclerView and this is the only one that made sense from beginning to end. I look forward to your other videos.

[fry]

oh my god this has been the most thorough and straightforward tutorial, thank you for doing it better than 900 other ones ive seen

[salimex]

Dude, you're the best. Clear, practical, concise tutorial. That's real education. Bless you

[kccnjsu]

Mate, this video is actually the reason I pass my exam. Continue your video, I never seen a better tutorial on YT.

[RafaelGarcia-lsuy]

I don't know why this chanel don't have a lot more subs, I mean you're amazing and a life savior! Thanks for sharing your knowledge :)

[chupa-pupa]
