TP3: RecyclerView

📝 Goal

The goal is to display a list of book using a RecyclerView.

Preparatory work:

  • From the previous TP copy:
    • Book
    • Bookshelf
    • MainActivity, CreateBookActivity and their layouts
  • Add an instance of Bookshelf in MainActivity to be able to store multiples books created using CreateBookActivity

RecyclerView implementation:

  • Create a row_book XML file in res/layout. In this file, create a layout to display content of a book (title, author, date)
  • Create a BookViewHolder class and implement it as it's done in the course
  • Create a BookAdapter class and implement it as it's done in the course (the constructor should deal with a ArrayList<Book>)
  • Add a <recycler-view> in the layout of the MainActivity
  • Link the RecyclerView and the BookAdapter in the MainActivity

⚠️ The list must be updated each time a book is created.

About UX:

  • Add a menu in the Toolbar with a button to clear the list of books`
  • Customize app theme
  • Use a FloatingActionButton instead of a simple Button to navigate to `CreateBookActivity

🚀 Getting Started

  • Start Android Studio
  • Select Open an existing Android Studio project and pick this directory

That's it! You can code!

🛰 Extra

  • Display the books in a grid instead of a list
  • Add a button on each book of the list to be able to delete it
