Step 1 - Add the JitPack repository to your build file

allprojects {
    repositories {
        ...
        maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
    }
}

Step 2 - Add the dependency

dependencies {
     implementation('com.github.utsmannn:painless-paging-library:{latest_version}') {
        exclude group: 'com.google.android.material', module: 'material'
    }
}    
    

Implementation

Create Adapter

The adapter extend to PainlessPagedAdapter

// standard view holder
class UserViewHolder(view: View) : RecyclerView.ViewHolder(view) {
    fun bind(item: User, position: Int) = itemView.run {
        findViewById<TextView>(R.id.txt_item).text = "$position - ${item.name}"
    }
}

// adapter with PainlessPagedAdapter
class UserAdapter : PainlessPagedAdapter<User, UserViewHolder>() {
    override fun onCreatePageViewHolder(parent: ViewGroup, viewType: Int): UserViewHolder {
        return UserViewHolder(LayoutInflater.from(parent.context).inflate(R.layout.item_view, parent, false))
    }

    override fun onBindPageViewHolder(holder: UserViewHolder, position: Int) {
        getItem(position)?.let {
            holder.bind(it, position)
        }
    }

}

Create data source

Create class with extend to PagingDataSource

class UserDataSource : PagingDataSource<User>() {
    private val userRepository: UserRepository = UserRepository.Companion.Impl()

    override suspend fun onLoadState(page: Int): PagingResult {
        return try {
            val response = userRepository.getUsers(page)
            val items = response.data
            PagingResult.Success(items ?: emptyList())
        } catch (e: Throwable) {
            PagingResult.Error(e)
        }
    }
}

Add in ViewModel

The data source will be extracting result item with PagingData class and wrapping with liveData, implement it on ViewModel.

class UserViewModel : ViewModel() {

    private val userDataSource = UserDataSource()
    val pageData: LiveData<PagingData<User>>
            get() = userDataSource.currentPageLiveData()
}

Submitting item on adapter

viewModel.pageData.observe(this) { pagingData ->
    userAdapter.submitData(pagingData)
}

Extensions

This library can generate adapter with simple extensions code. Not recommended for multiple view type adapter.

val userAdapter = recyclerView.createSimpleAdapter<User>(R.layout.item_view) {
    layoutManager = LinearLayoutManager(this@MainActivity)
    onBindViewHolder = { itemView, item, position ->
        itemView.run {
            findViewById<TextView>(R.id.txt_item).text = "$position - ${item.name}"
        }
    }
}

Add State changes UI

You can add the loading view in footer, state of data changes.

Create a standard view holder

Place all view when data change to loading and error

class StateViewHolder(view: View) : RecyclerView.ViewHolder(view) {

    fun bind(loadState: LoadState, retry: () -> Unit) = itemView.run {
        findViewById<ProgressBar>(R.id.progress_bar).run {
            isVisible = loadState.loadStatus == LoadStatus.RUNNING
        }

        findViewById<TextView>(R.id.txt_error).run {
            isVisible = loadState.loadStatus == LoadStatus.FAILED

            if (loadState.loadStatus == LoadStatus.FAILED) {
                text = (loadState as LoadState.Failed).throwable?.message
            }
        }

        findViewById<Button>(R.id.btn_retry).run {
            isVisible = loadState.loadStatus == LoadStatus.FAILED
            setOnClickListener {
                retry.invoke()
            }
        }
    }
}

Attach state view holder in adapter

userAdapter.attachStateViewHolder { parent  ->
    val view = LayoutInflater.from(parent.context).inflate(R.layout.state_view, parent, false)
    StateViewHolder(view)
}

userAdapter.onBindLoadStateViewHolder<StateViewHolder> { holder, loadState ->
    holder.bind(loadState) {
        userAdapter.retry()
    }
}
