/Jetpack-Compose-items-in-Epoxy-Recyclerview

Primary LanguageKotlin

Try-out: using Jetpack Composables inside Epoxy Recyclerviews.

Ugly code, I tried/tested many things and left some of the code in here :).

Main take-aways, to use Composables in Epoxy Recyclerviews:

  1. Don't share a view-pool activity-wide, but use one per Recyclerview. (set in CustomEpoxyRecyclerView)
  2. Dispose of compositions with ViewCompositionStrategy attached to the owner's lifecycle, so that compositions are not disposed on every unbind (the default). You can do this easily using: ViewCompositionStrategy.DisposeOnViewTreeLifecycleDestroyed as shown in TitleListItemModel
  3. After implementing, test that your Composables don't dispose or rebuild when you don't want/expect them to. When scrolling a list, they should only rebind.
  4. When you add a Composable to a Horizontal Scrolling nested recyclerview, beware and test carefully, I did not test this.

Example item model here: TitleListItemModel
