Known Direct Subclasses
Known Indirect Subclasses


This class defines the animations that take place on items as changes are made to the adapter. Subclasses of ItemAnimator can be used to implement custom animations for actions on ViewHolder items. The RecyclerView will manage retaining these items while they are being animated, but implementors must call dispatchAnimationFinished(ViewHolder) when a ViewHolder's animation is finished. In other words, there must be a matching dispatchAnimationFinished(ViewHolder) call for each animateAppearance(), animateChange() animatePersistence(), and animateDisappearance() call.

By default, RecyclerView uses DefaultItemAnimator.
