A Presenter is used to generate Views and bind Objects to them on demand. It is closely related to the concept of an RecyclerView.Adapter, but is not position-based. The leanback framework implements the adapter concept using ObjectAdapter which refers to a Presenter (or PresenterSelector) instance.

Presenters should be stateless. Presenters typically extend ViewHolder to store all necessary view state information, such as references to child views to be used when binding to avoid expensive calls to findViewById.

A trivial Presenter that takes a string and renders it into a TextView:

public class StringTextViewPresenter extends Presenter {
    // This class does not need a custom ViewHolder, since it does not use
    // a complex layout.

    @Override
    public ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent) {
        return new ViewHolder(new TextView(parent.getContext()));
    }

    @Override
    public void onBindViewHolder(ViewHolder viewHolder, Object item) {
        String str = (String) item;
        TextView textView = (TextView) viewHolder.mView;

        textView.setText(item);
    }

    @Override
    public void onUnbindViewHolder(ViewHolder viewHolder) {
        // Nothing to unbind for TextView, but if this viewHolder had
        // allocated bitmaps, they can be released here.
    }
}
In addition to view creation and binding, Presenter allows dynamic interface (facet) to be added: setFacet. Supported facets: ItemAlignmentFacet is used by HorizontalGridView and VerticalGridView to customize child alignment.

Summary

Nested types

public class Presenter.ViewHolder implements FacetProvider

ViewHolder can be subclassed and used to cache any view accessors needed to improve binding performance (for example, results of findViewById) without needing to subclass a View.

public abstract class Presenter.ViewHolderTask

Base class to perform a task on Presenter.ViewHolder.

Public constructors

Public methods

final Object
getFacet(Class<Object> facetClass)

Queries optional implemented facet.

abstract void
onBindViewHolder(
    @NonNull Presenter.ViewHolder viewHolder,
    @Nullable Object item
)

Binds a View to an item.

void
onBindViewHolder(
    @NonNull Presenter.ViewHolder viewHolder,
    @NonNull Object item,
    @NonNull List<Object> payloads
)

Binds a View to an item with a list of payloads.

abstract @NonNull Presenter.ViewHolder

Creates a new View.

abstract void

Unbinds a View from an item.

void

Called when a view created by this presenter has been attached to a window.

void

Called when a view created by this presenter has been detached from its window.

final void
setFacet(Class<Object> facetClass, Object facetImpl)

Sets dynamic implemented facet in addition to basic Presenter functions.

void

Called to set a click listener for the given view holder.

Protected methods

static void

Utility method for removing all running animations on a view.

Public constructors

Presenter

Added in 1.1.0
public Presenter()

Public methods

getFacet

Added in 1.2.0-alpha04
public final Object getFacet(Class<Object> facetClass)

Queries optional implemented facet.

Parameters
Class<Object> facetClass

Facet classes to query, examples are: class of ItemAlignmentFacet.

Returns
Object

Facet implementation for the facetClass or null if feature not implemented.

onBindViewHolder

Added in 1.1.0
public abstract void onBindViewHolder(
    @NonNull Presenter.ViewHolder viewHolder,
    @Nullable Object item
)

Binds a View to an item.

onBindViewHolder

Added in 1.1.0
public void onBindViewHolder(
    @NonNull Presenter.ViewHolder viewHolder,
    @NonNull Object item,
    @NonNull List<Object> payloads
)

Binds a View to an item with a list of payloads.

Parameters
@NonNull Presenter.ViewHolder viewHolder

The ViewHolder which should be updated to represent the contents of the item at the given position in the data set.

@NonNull Object item

The item which should be bound to view holder.

@NonNull List<Object> payloads

A non-null list of merged payloads. Can be empty list if requires full update.

onCreateViewHolder

Added in 1.1.0
public abstract @NonNull Presenter.ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(@NonNull ViewGroup parent)

Creates a new View.

onUnbindViewHolder

Added in 1.1.0
public abstract void onUnbindViewHolder(@NonNull Presenter.ViewHolder viewHolder)

Unbinds a View from an item. Any expensive references may be released here, and any fields that are not bound for every item should be cleared here.

onViewAttachedToWindow

Added in 1.1.0
public void onViewAttachedToWindow(@NonNull Presenter.ViewHolder holder)

Called when a view created by this presenter has been attached to a window.

This can be used as a reasonable signal that the view is about to be seen by the user. If the adapter previously freed any resources in onViewDetachedFromWindow those resources should be restored here.

Parameters
@NonNull Presenter.ViewHolder holder

Holder of the view being attached

onViewDetachedFromWindow

Added in 1.1.0
public void onViewDetachedFromWindow(@NonNull Presenter.ViewHolder holder)

Called when a view created by this presenter has been detached from its window.

Becoming detached from the window is not necessarily a permanent condition; the consumer of an presenter's views may choose to cache views offscreen while they are not visible, attaching and detaching them as appropriate.

Any view property animations should be cancelled here or the view may fail to be recycled.
Parameters
@NonNull Presenter.ViewHolder holder

Holder of the view being detached

setFacet

Added in 1.1.0
public final void setFacet(Class<Object> facetClass, Object facetImpl)

Sets dynamic implemented facet in addition to basic Presenter functions.

Parameters
Class<Object> facetClass

Facet classes to query, can be class of ItemAlignmentFacet.

Object facetImpl

Facet implementation.

setOnClickListener

Added in 1.1.0
public void setOnClickListener(
    Presenter.ViewHolder holder,
    View.OnClickListener listener
)

Called to set a click listener for the given view holder. The default implementation sets the click listener on the root view in the view holder. If the root view isn't focusable this method should be overridden to set the listener on the appropriate focusable child view(s).

Parameters
Presenter.ViewHolder holder

The view holder containing the view(s) on which the listener should be set.

View.OnClickListener listener

The click listener to be set.

Protected methods

cancelAnimationsRecursive

Added in 1.1.0
protected static void cancelAnimationsRecursive(View view)

Utility method for removing all running animations on a view.
