Presenter

Class Overview

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 Presenter.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(int).

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.
     }
 }

From class java.lang.Object Object clone() Creates and returns a copy of this Object. boolean equals(Object o) Compares this instance with the specified object and indicates if they are equal. void finalize() Invoked when the garbage collector has detected that this instance is no longer reachable. final Class<?> getClass() Returns the unique instance of Class that represents this object's class. int hashCode() Returns an integer hash code for this object. final void notify() Causes a thread which is waiting on this object's monitor (by means of calling one of the wait() methods) to be woken up. final void notifyAll() Causes all threads which are waiting on this object's monitor (by means of calling one of the wait() methods) to be woken up. String toString() Returns a string containing a concise, human-readable description of this object. final void wait() Causes the calling thread to wait until another thread calls the notify() or notifyAll() method of this object. final void wait(long millis, int nanos) Causes the calling thread to wait until another thread calls the notify() or notifyAll() method of this object or until the specified timeout expires. final void wait(long millis) Causes the calling thread to wait until another thread calls the notify() or notifyAll() method of this object or until the specified timeout expires.
From interface android.support.v17.leanback.widget.FacetProvider abstract Object getFacet(Class<?> facetClass) Queries optional implemented facet.
