Creating a RecyclerView in a Java Android app involves several steps.

Below is a detailed guide


to help you set up a RecyclerView from scratch:

Step 1: Set Up Your Project

1. Create a new Android project in Android Studio:


○ Open Android Studio.
○ Click on "Start a new Android Studio project."
○ Choose "Empty Activity" and proceed with the default configurations.

Step 2: Create the RecyclerView Layout

1. Open activity_main.xml and add the RecyclerView widget:

<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
tools:context=".MainActivity">

<androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView
android:id="@+id/recyclerView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />

</LinearLayout>

Step 3: Create the Layout for Each Item

1. Create a new layout resource file named item_layout.xml in the res/layout


directory:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>


<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:padding="16dp">

<TextView
android:id="@+id/itemTextView"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Item" />
</LinearLayout>

Step 4: Create a Model Class

1. Create a new Java class named Item.java:

public class Item {


private String text;

public Item(String text) {


this.text = text;
}

public String getText() {


return text;
}

public void setText(String text) {


this.text = text;
}
}
Step 5: Create the Adapter

1. Create a new Java class named ItemAdapter.java:

import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.TextView;
import androidx.annotation.NonNull;
import androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView;
import java.util.List;

public class ItemAdapter extends


RecyclerView.Adapter<ItemAdapter.ItemViewHolder> {
private List<Item> itemList;

public static class ItemViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder


{
public TextView textView;

public ItemViewHolder(View itemView) {


super(itemView);
textView = itemView.findViewById(R.id.itemTextView);
}
}

public ItemAdapter(List<Item> itemList) {


this.itemList = itemList;
}

@NonNull
@Override
public ItemViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(@NonNull ViewGroup
parent, int viewType) {
View itemView = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext())
.inflate(R.layout.item_layout, parent, false);
return new ItemViewHolder(itemView);
}

@Override
public void onBindViewHolder(@NonNull ItemViewHolder holder, int
position) {
Item currentItem = itemList.get(position);
holder.textView.setText(currentItem.getText());
}

@Override
public int getItemCount() {
return itemList.size();
}
}

Step 6: Set Up the RecyclerView in the MainActivity

1. Open MainActivity.java and set up the RecyclerView:

import android.os.Bundle;
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;
import androidx.recyclerview.widget.LinearLayoutManager;
import androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {


private RecyclerView recyclerView;
private RecyclerView.Adapter adapter;
private RecyclerView.LayoutManager layoutManager;
private List<Item> itemList;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

itemList = new ArrayList<>();


for (int i = 1; i <= 20; i++) {
itemList.add(new Item("Item " + i));
}
recyclerView = findViewById(R.id.recyclerView);
layoutManager = new LinearLayoutManager(this);
recyclerView.setLayoutManager(layoutManager);
adapter = new ItemAdapter(itemList);

recyclerView.setAdapter(adapter);
}
}

Step 8: Run Your Application

1. Build and run your application on an emulator or a physical device.


2. You should see a list of items displayed in the RecyclerView.

By following these steps, you have created a basic RecyclerView implementation in an Android
app using Java. The RecyclerView displays a list of items defined in the Item model class and
rendered using the ItemAdapter adapter.
