PagingDataPresenter


public abstract class PagingDataPresenter<T extends Object>


The class that connects the UI layer to the underlying Paging operations. Takes input from UI presenters and outputs Paging events (Loads, LoadStateUpdate) in response.

Paging front ends that implement this class will be able to access loaded data, LoadStates, and callbacks from LoadState or Page updates. This class also exposes the PagingDataEvent from a PagingData for custom logic on how to present Loads, Drops, and other Paging events.

For implementation examples, refer to AsyncPagingDataDiffer for RecyclerView, or LazyPagingItems for Compose.

Public constructors

PagingDataPresenter

public <T extends Object> PagingDataPresenter(
    @NonNull CoroutineContext mainContext,
    PagingData<@NonNull T> cachedPagingData
)
Parameters
@NonNull CoroutineContext mainContext

The coroutine context that core Paging operations will run on. Defaults to Dispatchers.Main. Main operations executed within this context include but are not limited to:

  1. flow collection on a PagingData for Loads, LoadStateUpdate etc.

  2. emitting CombinedLoadStates to the loadStateFlow

  3. invoking LoadState and PageUpdate listeners

  4. invoking presentPagingDataEvent

PagingData<@NonNull T> cachedPagingData

a PagingData that will initialize this PagingDataPresenter with any LoadStates or loaded data contained within it.

Public methods

addLoadStateListener

public final void addLoadStateListener(
    @NonNull Function1<@NonNull CombinedLoadStatesUnit> listener
)

Add a CombinedLoadStates listener to observe the loading state of the current PagingData.

As new PagingData generations are submitted and displayed, the listener will be notified to reflect the current CombinedLoadStates.

When a new listener is added, it will be immediately called with the current CombinedLoadStates, unless this PagingDataPresenter has not been hooked up to a PagingData yet, and thus has no state to emit.

import androidx.paging.LoadState

val adapter = UserPagingAdapter()
adapter.addLoadStateListener {
    // show a retry button outside the list when refresh hits an error
    retryButton.isVisible = it.refresh is LoadState.Error

    // swipeRefreshLayout displays whether refresh is occurring
    swipeRefreshLayout.isRefreshing = it.refresh is LoadState.Loading

    // show an empty state over the list when loading initially, before items are loaded
    emptyState.isVisible = it.refresh is LoadState.Loading && adapter.itemCount == 0
}
Parameters
@NonNull Function1<@NonNull CombinedLoadStatesUnit> listener

LoadStates listener to receive updates.

addOnPagesUpdatedListener

Added in 3.3.5
public final void addOnPagesUpdatedListener(@NonNull Function0<Unit> listener)

Add a listener which triggers after the pages presented to the UI are updated, even if the actual items presented don't change.

An update is triggered from one of the following:

  • collectFrom is called and initial load completes, regardless of any differences in the loaded data

  • A Page is inserted

  • A Page is dropped

Parameters
@NonNull Function0<Unit> listener

called after pages presented are updated.

collectFrom

public final void collectFrom(@NonNull PagingData<@NonNull T> pagingData)

get

Added in 3.3.5
@MainThread
public final T get(@IntRange(from = 0) int index)

Returns the presented item at the specified position, notifying Paging of the item access to trigger any loads necessary to fulfill prefetchDistance.

Parameters
@IntRange(from = 0) int index

Index of the presented item to return, including placeholders.

Returns
T

The presented item at position index, null if it is a placeholder.

getLoadStateFlow

Added in 3.3.5
public final @NonNull StateFlow<CombinedLoadStatesgetLoadStateFlow()

A hot Flow of CombinedLoadStates that emits a snapshot whenever the loading state of the current PagingData changes.

This flow is conflated. It buffers the last update to CombinedLoadStates and immediately delivers the current load states on collection, unless this PagingDataPresenter has not been hooked up to a PagingData yet, and thus has no state to emit.

import androidx.lifecycle.lifecycleScope
import androidx.paging.LoadState

val adapter = UserPagingAdapter()
lifecycleScope.launch {
    adapter.loadStateFlow
        .map { it.refresh }
        .distinctUntilChanged()
        .collectLatest {
            // show a retry button outside the list when refresh hits an error
            retryButton.isVisible = it is LoadState.Error

            // swipeRefreshLayout displays whether refresh is occurring
            swipeRefreshLayout.isRefreshing = it is LoadState.Loading

            // show an empty state over the list when loading initially, before items are loaded
            emptyState.isVisible = it is LoadState.Loading && adapter.itemCount == 0
        }
}

getOnPagesUpdatedFlow

Added in 3.3.5
public final @NonNull Flow<UnitgetOnPagesUpdatedFlow()

A hot Flow that emits after the pages presented to the UI are updated, even if the actual items presented don't change.

An update is triggered from one of the following:

  • collectFrom is called and initial load completes, regardless of any differences in the loaded data

  • A Page is inserted

  • A Page is dropped

Note: This is a SharedFlow configured to replay 0 items with a buffer of size 64. If a collector lags behind page updates, it may trigger multiple times for each intermediate update that was presented while your collector was still working. To avoid this behavior, you can conflate this Flow so that you only receive the latest update, which is useful in cases where you are simply updating UI and don't care about tracking the exact number of page updates.

getSize

Added in 3.3.5
public final int getSize()
Returns
int

Total number of presented items, including placeholders.

peek

Added in 3.3.5
@MainThread
public final T peek(@IntRange(from = 0) int index)

Returns the presented item at the specified position, without notifying Paging of the item access that would normally trigger page loads.

Parameters
@IntRange(from = 0) int index

Index of the presented item to return, including placeholders.

Returns
T

The presented item at position index, null if it is a placeholder

presentPagingDataEvent

public abstract void presentPagingDataEvent(@NonNull PagingDataEvent<@NonNull T> event)

Handler for PagingDataEvent emitted by PagingData.

When a PagingData is submitted to this PagingDataPresenter through collectFrom, page loads, drops, or LoadStateUpdates will be emitted to presenters as PagingDataEvent through this method.

Presenter layers that communicate directly with PagingDataPresenter should override this method to handle the PagingDataEvent accordingly. For example by diffing two PagingDataEvent.Refresh lists, or appending the inserted list of data from PagingDataEvent.Prepend or PagingDataEvent.Append.

refresh

Added in 3.3.5
public final void refresh()

Refresh the data presented by this PagingDataPresenter.

refresh triggers the creation of a new PagingData with a new instance of PagingSource to represent an updated snapshot of the backing dataset. If a RemoteMediator is set, calling refresh will also trigger a call to RemoteMediator.load with LoadType to allow RemoteMediator to check for updates to the dataset backing PagingSource.

Note: This API is intended for UI-driven refresh signals, such as swipe-to-refresh. Invalidation due repository-layer signals, such as DB-updates, should instead use PagingSource.invalidate.

import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity
import androidx.paging.LoadState

class MyActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
    private lateinit var binding: MyActivityBinding
    private val pagingAdapter = UserPagingAdapter()

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        binding = MyActivityBinding.inflate(layoutInflater)
        setContentView(binding.root)

        binding.recyclerView.adapter = pagingAdapter
        pagingAdapter.addLoadStateListener { loadStates ->
            binding.swipeRefreshLayout.isRefreshing = loadStates.refresh is LoadState.Loading
        }

        binding.swipeRefreshLayout.setOnRefreshListener {
            pagingAdapter.refresh()
        }
    }
}

invalidate

removeLoadStateListener

public final void removeLoadStateListener(
    @NonNull Function1<@NonNull CombinedLoadStatesUnit> listener
)

Remove a previously registered CombinedLoadStates listener.

Parameters
@NonNull Function1<@NonNull CombinedLoadStatesUnit> listener

Previously registered listener.

removeOnPagesUpdatedListener

Added in 3.3.5
public final void removeOnPagesUpdatedListener(@NonNull Function0<Unit> listener)

Parameters
@NonNull Function0<Unit> listener

Previously registered listener.

retry

Added in 3.3.5
public final void retry()

Retry any failed load requests that would result in a LoadState.Error update to this PagingDataPresenter.

Unlike refresh, this does not invalidate PagingSource, it only retries failed loads within the same generation of PagingData.

LoadState.Error can be generated from two types of load requests:

snapshot

Added in 3.3.5
public final @NonNull ItemSnapshotList<@NonNull T> snapshot()

Returns a new ItemSnapshotList representing the currently presented items, including any placeholders if they are enabled.
