android.support.v17.leanback.widget

Support classes providing low level Leanback user interface building blocks: widgets and helpers.

The core interface to the developer’s model is the ObjectAdapter. It is similar to Adapter and the RecyclerView Adapter, but separates iterating items from presenting them as Views. Concrete implementations include ArrayObjectAdapter and CursorObjectAdapter, but a developer is free to use a subclass of an ObjectAdapter to iterate over any existing Object hierarchy.

A Presenter creates Views and binds data from an Object to those Views. This is the complementary piece to ObjectAdapter that corresponds to existing Android adapter classes. The benefit to separating out a Presenter is that we can use it to generate Views outside of the context of an adapter. For example, a UI may represent data from a single Object in several places at once. Each View that needs to be generated can be produced by a different Presenter, while the Object is retrieved from the ObjectAdapter once.

A PresenterSelector determines which Presenter to use for a given Object from an ObjectAdapter. Two common cases are when an ObjectAdapter uses the same View type for every element (SinglePresenterSelector), and when the Presenter is determined by the Java class of the element (ClassPresenterSelector). A developer is able to implement any selection logic as a PresenterSelector. For example, if all the elements of an ObjectAdapter have the same type, but certain elements are to be rendered using a 'promotional content' view in the developer’s application, the PresenterSelector may inspect the fields of each element before choosing the appropriate Presenter.

The basic navigation model for Leanback is that of a vertical list of rows, each of which may be a horizontal list of items. Therefore, Leanback uses ObjectAdapters both for defining the horizontal data items as well as the list of rows themselves.

Leanback defines a few basic data model classes for rows: the Row, which defines the abstract concept of a row with a header; and ListRow, a concrete Row implementation that uses an ObjectAdapter to present a horizontal list of items. The corresponding presenter for the ListRow is the ListRowPresenter.

Other types of Rows and corresponding RowPresenters are provided; however the application may define a custom subclass of Row and RowPresenter.
