Android Material Design - 3 (Android RecyclerView and CardView)

Android Lollipop features two new widgets to make your life easier,   RecyclerView     and  CardView.



Download full example on Github.


RecyclerView

This widget is a container for displaying large data sets that can be scrolled very efficiently by maintaining a limited number of views. Use the RecyclerView widget when you have data collections whose elements change at runtime based on user action or network events.

The RecyclerView and CardView both are available in the Android support library, to use support library in android studio.

your app root folder -> right click -> open module setting -> select your module -> select dependence tab -> click on + sign -> Library dependence, add both library.

com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:22.1.1
com.android.support:cardview-v7:22.1.1

now create layout for RecycleView :


 <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"  
   xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"  
   android:layout_width="match_parent"  
   android:layout_height="match_parent"  
   android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin1"  
   android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin1"  
   android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin1"  
   android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin1"  
   tools:context=".MyActivity">  
   <android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView  
     android:id="@+id/cardList"  
     android:layout_width="match_parent"  
     android:layout_height="match_parent" />  
 </RelativeLayout>  


now, in your fragment add below code (you can also use activity just add code in onCreate)


  @Override  
   public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,  
                Bundle savedInstanceState) {  
     View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_cardrecycle, container, false);  
     RecyclerView recList = (RecyclerView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.cardList);  
     recList.setHasFixedSize(true);  
     LinearLayoutManager llm = new LinearLayoutManager(getActivity());  
     llm.setOrientation(LinearLayoutManager.VERTICAL);  
     if (listitems.size() > 0 & recList != null) {  
       recList.setAdapter(new MyAdapter(listitems));  
     }  
     recList.setLayoutManager(llm);  
     return rootView;  
   }  

Before create adapter we ll design row items of RecycleView using CardView then after we 'll integrate both together.

create layout for CardView.


 <android.support.v7.widget.CardView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

     </LinearLayout>  
   </LinearLayout>  
 </android.support.v7.widget.CardView>  


our CardView design look like..




The adapter provides access to the items in your data set, creates views for items, and replaces the content of some of the views with new data items when the original item is no longer visible.

create adapter,


 public class MyAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<ViewHolder> {  
     private ArrayList<CardViewModel> list;  
     // Provide a suitable constructor (depends on the kind of dataset)  
     public MyAdapter(ArrayList<CardViewModel> myDataset) {  
       list = myDataset;  
     }  
     // Create new views (invoked by the layout manager)  
     @Override  
     public ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent,  
                        int viewType) {  
       // create a new view  
       View v = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext())  
           .inflate(R.layout.recycle_items, parent, false);  
       // set the view's size, margins, paddings and layout parameters  
       ViewHolder vh = new ViewHolder(v);  
       return vh;  
     }  
     // Replace the contents of a view (invoked by the layout manager)  
     @Override  
     public void onBindViewHolder(final ViewHolder holder, int position) {  
       // - get element from your dataset at this position  
       // - replace the contents of the view with that element  
       holder.text_card_name.setText(list.get(position).getCardName());  
       Drawable dr = getResources().getDrawable(list.get(position).getImageResourceId());  
       holder.image_card_cover.setImageDrawable(dr);  
       /*Palette.from(drawableToBitmap(dr)).generate(new Palette.PaletteAsyncListener() {  
         public void onGenerated(Palette p) {  
           // Use generated instance  
           //int titleBackColor = p.getVibrantColor(0);  
           int titleBackColor = p.getDarkVibrantColor(0);  
           //int titleBackColor = p.getVibrantSwatch();  
           ProgressDrawable titleBackDrawable;  
           if (titleBackColor != 0) {  
             titleBackDrawable = new ProgressDrawable(titleBackColor);  
           } else {  
             titleBackDrawable = new ProgressDrawable(getThemePrimaryColor());  
           }  
           //titleBackDrawable.setMax(holder.text_card_name.getHeight());  
           //titleBackDrawable.setProgress(holder.text_card_name.getHeight());  
           holder.text_card_name.setBackground(titleBackDrawable);  
         }  
       });*/  
     }  
     // Return the size of your dataset (invoked by the layout manager)  
     @Override  
     public int getItemCount() {  
       return list.size();  
     }  
   }  


here is ViewHolder class,



 // Provide a reference to the views for each data item  
   // Complex data items may need more than one view per item, and  
   // you provide access to all the views for a data item in a view holder  
   public static class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {  
     // each data item is just a string in this case  
     public TextView text_card_name;  
     public ImageView image_card_cover;  
     public ImageView image_action_like;  
     public ImageView image_action_flag;  
     public ImageView image_action_share;  
     public Toolbar maintoolbar;  
     public ViewHolder(View v) {  
       super(v);  
       text_card_name = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.text_card_name);  
       image_card_cover = (ImageView) v.findViewById(R.id.image_card_cover);  
       image_action_like = (ImageView) v.findViewById(R.id.image_action_like);  
       image_action_flag = (ImageView) v.findViewById(R.id.image_action_flag);  
       image_action_share = (ImageView) v.findViewById(R.id.image_action_share);  
       maintoolbar = (Toolbar) v.findViewById(R.id.card_toolbar);  
       maintoolbar.inflateMenu(R.menu.global);  
     }  
   }

WHAT IS NEXT?

Next time i will show you example of floating Toolbar when scroll content.

NOTE: my all example related material design is only for Android API 14 to 21 and above.

Any help and suggestions are appreciated. post comments below or you can contact me via E-mail.

MCP vs CLI: Which One Fits Your AI Agent's Job?

  Every AI agent that touches the outside world does it one of two ways: it runs a shell command, or it calls a tool through the Model Context Protocol. Both get the job done, but they don't cost the same or fail the same way, which is why "MCP vs CLI" keeps resurfacing without resolving. I want to answer it for the cases that matter most: plain developer tooling, data-heavy systems like banking, forecasting pipelines, and transaction automation like billing or booking. Neither wins outright. Where you draw the line is the actual skill. Key Takeaways CLI is the default for anything the model already knows cold, git, file ops, text processing, since there's no schema tax and commands chain through pipes. MCP earns its cost when a system needs per-user auth, audit trails, or access to sources the model can't otherwise reach, exactly what regulated systems like banking require. Transaction automation works best split: deterministic code drives the repeatable steps, a...

ANDROID - Adding ActionBar Navigation Tabs

Note: if you are develop App < 3.0 Android OS then use  ActionBarSherlock   support library. ActionBarSherlock is an extension of the  support library  designed to facilitate the use of the action bar design pattern across all versions of Android with a single API. Create new Android Project : in Main Activity package com.AlarmManager; import android.os.Bundle; import android.view.View; import com.actionbarsherlock.app.ActionBar; import com.actionbarsherlock.app.ActionBar.Tab; import com.actionbarsherlock.app.SherlockFragmentActivity; public class AlarmManagerActivity extends SherlockFragmentActivity { public static String ACTIVE_TAB = "activeTab"; /** Called when the activity is first created. */ @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { setTheme(R.style.Theme_Sherlock_Light_DarkActionBar); super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); // s...

Don't Ship AI Agent Skills Without Evals

At the AI Engineer World's Fair on July 1, 2026, Philipp Schmid, a Staff Engineer on the Gemini API and agents team at Google DeepMind, asked a room full of engineers a simple question: who uses skills with their coding agents? Every hand went up. Who has evals for those skills? Almost none. That gap is the entire talk, which Schmid also wrote up on his own blog, philschmid.de/testing-skills . His team indexed the skills ecosystem through SkillsBench and found the same pattern everywhere: people ship a SKILL.md file after two manual test runs and move on. It looks fine in a demo. It quietly corrupts outputs in production, because bad skills don't crash. They just make the agent confidently wrong. If you've already read our breakdown of Matt Pocock's Claude Code skills library , think of this as the other half of that story: what happens once you've installed a skill and it's actually running against real prompts. Key Takeaways SkillsBench indexed 47,000+ un...
