Overview

A Sorted list implementation that can keep items in order and also notify for changes in the list such that it can be bound to a RecyclerView.Adapter.

It keeps items ordered using the SortedList.Callback.compare(T2, T2) method and uses binary search to retrieve items. If the sorting criteria of your items may change, make sure you call appropriate methods while editing them to avoid data inconsistencies.

You can control the order of items and change notifications via the SortedList.Callback parameter.

Fields

public static final int INVALID_POSITION

Used by SortedList.indexOf(T) when the item cannot be found in the list.

Constructors

public SortedList(java.lang.Class<java.lang.Object> klass, SortedList.Callback<java.lang.Object> callback)

Creates a new SortedList of type T.

Parameters:

klass: The class of the contents of the SortedList.
callback: The callback that controls the behavior of SortedList.

public SortedList(java.lang.Class<java.lang.Object> klass, SortedList.Callback<java.lang.Object> callback, int initialCapacity)

Creates a new SortedList of type T.

Parameters:

klass: The class of the contents of the SortedList.
callback: The callback that controls the behavior of SortedList.
initialCapacity: The initial capacity to hold items.

Methods

public int size()

The number of items in the list.

Returns:

The number of items in the list.

public int add(java.lang.Object item)

Adds the given item to the list. If this is a new item, SortedList calls ListUpdateCallback.onInserted(int, int).

If the item already exists in the list and its sorting criteria is not changed, it is replaced with the existing Item. SortedList uses SortedList.Callback.areItemsTheSame(T2, T2) to check if two items are the same item and uses SortedList.Callback.areContentsTheSame(T2, T2) to decide whether it should call SortedList.Callback.onChanged(int, int) or not. In both cases, it always removes the reference to the old item and puts the new item into the backing array even if SortedList.Callback.areContentsTheSame(T2, T2) returns false.

If the sorting criteria of the item is changed, SortedList won't be able to find its duplicate in the list which will result in having a duplicate of the Item in the list. If you need to update sorting criteria of an item that already exists in the list, use SortedList.updateItemAt(int, T). You can find the index of the item using SortedList.indexOf(T) before you update the object.

Parameters:

item: The item to be added into the list.

Returns:

The index of the newly added item.

public void addAll(java.lang.Object items[], boolean mayModifyInput)

Adds the given items to the list. Equivalent to calling SortedList.add(T) in a loop, except the callback events may be in a different order/granularity since addAll can batch them for better performance.

If allowed, will reference the input array during, and possibly after, the operation to avoid extra memory allocation, in which case you should not continue to reference or modify the array yourself.

Parameters:

items: Array of items to be added into the list.
mayModifyInput: If true, SortedList is allowed to modify and permanently reference the input array.

See also: SortedList

public void addAll(java.lang.Object items[])

Adds the given items to the list. Does not modify or retain the input.

Parameters:

items: Array of items to be added into the list.

See also: SortedList

public void addAll(java.util.Collection<java.lang.Object> items)

Adds the given items to the list. Does not modify or retain the input.

Parameters:

items: Collection of items to be added into the list.

See also: SortedList

public void replaceAll(java.lang.Object items[], boolean mayModifyInput)

Replaces the current items with the new items, dispatching ListUpdateCallback events for each change detected as appropriate.

If allowed, will reference the input array during, and possibly after, the operation to avoid extra memory allocation, in which case you should not continue to reference or modify the array yourself.

Note: this method does not detect moves or dispatch ListUpdateCallback.onMoved(int, int) events. It instead treats moves as a remove followed by an add and therefore dispatches ListUpdateCallback.onRemoved(int, int) and ListUpdateCallback.onRemoved(int, int) events. See DiffUtil if you want your implementation to dispatch move events.

Parameters:

items: Array of items to replace current items.
mayModifyInput: If true, SortedList is allowed to modify and permanently reference the input array.

See also: SortedList

public void replaceAll(java.lang.Object items[])

Replaces the current items with the new items, dispatching ListUpdateCallback events for each change detected as appropriate. Does not modify or retain the input.

Parameters:

items: Array of items to replace current items.

See also: SortedList

public void replaceAll(java.util.Collection<java.lang.Object> items)

Replaces the current items with the new items, dispatching ListUpdateCallback events for each change detected as appropriate. Does not modify or retain the input.

Parameters:

items: Array of items to replace current items.

See also: SortedList

public void beginBatchedUpdates()

Batches adapter updates that happen after calling this method and before calling SortedList.endBatchedUpdates(). For example, if you add multiple items in a loop and they are placed into consecutive indices, SortedList calls ListUpdateCallback.onInserted(int, int) only once with the proper item count. If an event cannot be merged with the previous event, the previous event is dispatched to the callback instantly.

After running your data updates, you must call SortedList.endBatchedUpdates() which will dispatch any deferred data change event to the current callback.

A sample implementation may look like this:

     mSortedList.beginBatchedUpdates();
     try {
         mSortedList.add(item1)
         mSortedList.add(item2)
         mSortedList.remove(item3)
         ...
     } finally {
         mSortedList.endBatchedUpdates();
     }
 

Instead of using this method to batch calls, you can use a Callback that extends SortedList.BatchedCallback. In that case, you must make sure that you are manually calling SortedList.BatchedCallback.dispatchLastEvent() right after you complete your data changes. Failing to do so may create data inconsistencies with the Callback.

If the current Callback is an instance of SortedList.BatchedCallback, calling this method has no effect.

public void endBatchedUpdates()

Ends the update transaction and dispatches any remaining event to the callback.

public boolean remove(java.lang.Object item)

Removes the provided item from the list and calls ListUpdateCallback.onRemoved(int, int).

Parameters:

item: The item to be removed from the list.

Returns:

True if item is removed, false if item cannot be found in the list.

public java.lang.Object removeItemAt(int index)

Removes the item at the given index and calls ListUpdateCallback.onRemoved(int, int).

Parameters:

index: The index of the item to be removed.

Returns:

The removed item.

public void updateItemAt(int index, java.lang.Object item)

Updates the item at the given index and calls SortedList.Callback.onChanged(int, int) and/or ListUpdateCallback.onMoved(int, int) if necessary.

You can use this method if you need to change an existing Item such that its position in the list may change.

If the new object is a different object (get(index) != item) and SortedList.Callback.areContentsTheSame(T2, T2) returns true, SortedList avoids calling SortedList.Callback.onChanged(int, int) otherwise it calls SortedList.Callback.onChanged(int, int).

If the new position of the item is different than the provided index, SortedList calls ListUpdateCallback.onMoved(int, int).

Parameters:

index: The index of the item to replace
item: The item to replace the item at the given Index.

See also: SortedList.add(T)

public void recalculatePositionOfItemAt(int index)

This method can be used to recalculate the position of the item at the given index, without triggering an SortedList.Callback.onChanged(int, int) callback.

If you are editing objects in the list such that their position in the list may change but you don't want to trigger an onChange animation, you can use this method to re-position it. If the item changes position, SortedList will call ListUpdateCallback.onMoved(int, int) without calling SortedList.Callback.onChanged(int, int).

A sample usage may look like:

     final int position = mSortedList.indexOf(item);
     item.incrementPriority(); // assume items are sorted by priority
     mSortedList.recalculatePositionOfItemAt(position);
 
In the example above, because the sorting criteria of the item has been changed, mSortedList.indexOf(item) will not be able to find the item. This is why the code above first gets the position before editing the item, edits it and informs the SortedList that item should be repositioned.

Parameters:

index: The current index of the Item whose position should be re-calculated.

See also: SortedList.updateItemAt(int, T), SortedList.add(T)

public java.lang.Object get(int index)

Returns the item at the given index.

Parameters:

index: The index of the item to retrieve.

Returns:

The item at the given index.

public int indexOf(java.lang.Object item)

Returns the position of the provided item.

Parameters:

item: The item to query for position.

Returns:

The position of the provided item or SortedList.INVALID_POSITION if item is not in the list.

public void clear()

Removes all items from the SortedList.
