HeaderRecyclerView 
HeaderRecyclerView is an Android library created to be able to use RecyclerView.Adapter with a header and/or footer in a easy way. To use this library create your RecyclerView.Adapter classes extending from HeaderRecyclerViewAdapter.

Usage
To use HeaderRecyclerView in your application you have to follow this steps:
- 1 - Create a class extending from
HeaderRecyclerViewAdapter:
public class DragonBallAdapter extends HeaderRecyclerViewAdapter<RecyclerView.ViewHolder, DragonBallHeader, DragonBallCharacter, DragonBallFooter> {
- 2 - Implement
onCreateHeaderViewHolder,onCreateItemViewHolder,onCreateFooterViewHolder,onBindHeaderViewHolder,onBindItemViewHOlderandonBindFooterViewHolderto create yourRecyclerView.ViewHolderinstances and draw your rows:
If you don't use header or footer, you can ignore overriding corresponding createViewHolder and bindViewHolder method
@Override
protected RecyclerView.ViewHolder onCreateHeaderViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
LayoutInflater inflater = getLayoutInflater(parent);
View headerView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.row_dragon_ball_header, parent, false);
return new HeaderViewHolder(headerView);
}
@Override
protected RecyclerView.ViewHolder onCreateItemViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
LayoutInflater inflater = getLayoutInflater(parent);
View characterView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.row_dragon_ball_character, parent, false);
return new CharacterViewHolder(characterView);
}
@Override
protected RecyclerView.ViewHolder onCreateFooterViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
LayoutInflater inflater = getLayoutInflater(parent);
View footerView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.row_dragon_ball_footer, parent, false);
return new FooterViewHolder(footerView);
}
@Override protected void onBindHeaderViewHolder(RecyclerView.ViewHolder holder, int position) {
DragonBallHeader header = getHeader();
HeaderViewHolder headerViewHolder = (HeaderViewHolder) holder;
headerViewHolder.render(header);
}
@Override protected void onBindItemViewHolder(RecyclerView.ViewHolder holder, int position) {
DragonBallCharacter character = getItem(position);
CharacterViewHolder characterViewHolder = (CharacterViewHolder) holder;
characterViewHolder.render(character);
}
@Override protected void onBindFooterViewHolder(RecyclerView.ViewHolder holder, int position) {
DragonBallFooter footer = getFooter();
FooterViewHolder footerViewHolder = (FooterViewHolder) holder;
footerViewHolder.render(footer);
}
- 3 - Configure your
RecyclerViewwidget with this layout:
List<DragonBallCharacter> characters = getDragonBallCharacters();
DragonBallHeader header = getHeader(characters);
DragonBallFooter footer = getFooter();
adapter.setHeader(header);
adapter.setFooter(footer);
adapter.setItems(characters);
recyclerView.setAdapter(adapter);
- 4 - If you are using a
GridLayoutManagerinstead of aLinearLayoutManagerremember you'll have to configure theSpanSizeLookupused in theLayoutManagerinstance. If you are usingHeaderRecyclerViewwith aGridLayoutManageryou can create an instance ofHeaderSpanSizeLookupand configure yourLayoutManagerinstance:
GridLayoutManager layoutManager = new GridLayoutManager(this, NUMBER_OF_COLUMNS);
HeaderSpanSizeLookup headerSpanSizeLookup = new HeaderSpanSizeLookup(adapter, layoutManager);
layoutManager.setSpanSizeLookup(headerSpanSizeLookup);
- 5 - You can use following method to handle view life cycle event:
@Override
protected void onHeaderViewRecycled(VH holder) {
}
@Override
protected void onItemViewRecycled(VH holder) {
}
@Override
protected void onFooterViewRecycled(VH holder) {
}
Add it to your project
Add HeaderRecyclerView dependency to your build.gradle file
dependencies{
compile 'com.karumi:headerrecyclerview:1.1.0'
}
or to your pom.xml if you are using Maven instead of Gradle
<dependency>
<groupId>com.karumi</groupId>
<artifactId>headerrecyclerview</artifactId>
<version>1.1.0</version>
<type>aar</type> </dependency> Do you want to contribute?
Please, do it! We'd like to improve this library with your help :)
