| ↳ | android.support.v7.util.SortedList.Callback<T2> |

The class that controls the behavior of the SortedList.
 
It defines how items should be sorted and how duplicates should be handled.
SortedList calls the callback methods on this class to notify changes about the underlying data.

Public constructors
Public methods
areContentsTheSame
boolean areContentsTheSame (T2 oldItem, 
                T2 newItem)Called by the SortedList when it wants to check whether two items have the same data
 or not. SortedList uses this information to decide whether it should call
 onChanged(int, int) or not.
 
 SortedList uses this method to check equality instead of equals(Object)
 so
 that you can change its behavior depending on your UI.
 
 For example, if you are using SortedList with a
 RecyclerView.Adapter, you should
 return whether the items' visual representations are the same or not.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| oldItem | T2: The previous representation of the object. | 
| newItem | T2: The new object that replaces the previous one. | 
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| boolean | True if the contents of the items are the same or false if they are different. | 
areItemsTheSame
boolean areItemsTheSame (T2 item1, 
                T2 item2)Called by the SortedList to decide whether two objects represent the same Item or not.
For example, if your items have unique ids, this method should check their equality.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| item1 | T2: The first item to check. | 
| item2 | T2: The second item to check. | 
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| boolean | True if the two items represent the same object or false if they are different. | 
compare
int compare (T2 o1, 
                T2 o2)Similar to compare(Object, Object), should compare two and
 return how they should be ordered.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| o1 | T2: The first object to compare. | 
| o2 | T2: The second object to compare. | 
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| int | a negative integer, zero, or a positive integer as the first argument is less than, equal to, or greater than the second. | 
getChangePayload
Object getChangePayload (T2 item1, 
                T2 item2)When areItemsTheSame(T2, T2) returns true for two items and
 areContentsTheSame(T2, T2) returns false for them, SortedList.Callback calls this
 method to get a payload about the change.
 
 For example, if you are using SortedList.Callback with
 RecyclerView, you can return the particular field that
 changed in the item and your
 ItemAnimator can use that
 information to run the correct animation.
 
 Default implementation returns null.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| item1 | T2: The first item to check. | 
| item2 | T2: The second item to check. | 
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| Object | A payload object that represents the changes between the two items. | 
onChanged
void onChanged (int position, 
                int count, 
                Object payload)Called when count number of items are updated at the given position.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| position | int: The position of the item which has been updated. | 
| count | int: The number of items which has changed. | 
| payload | Object | 
onChanged
void onChanged (int position, 
                int count)Called by the SortedList when the item at the given position is updated.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| position | int: The position of the item which has been updated. | 
| count | int: The number of items which has changed. |
