rxlist-binder

Binds RxList to the RecyclerView.Adapter.

Automatically notifies the attached RecyclerView.Adapter about changes in an RxList. No more need to call notifyItem(Inserted/Removed/Changed) by yourself everytime you change the backing list.

Usage

To bind an RxList to the RecyclerView.Adapter you should subscribe to the Observable returned by the RxListBinder.bind(RxList, RecyclerView.Adapter) static method. Example:

RxListBinder.bind(list, adapter)
            .subscribe();

Note: a given RxList will be bound to the adapter until you unsubscribe from the returned Observable.

You can simplify the resulting Subscription management by using the RxLifecycle. Example of a binding that will get get created in onCreate and disposed in onDestroy:

RxList<Item> items = new RxList<>();
ItemsAdapter adapter = new ItemsAdapter(items);

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(getLayoutId());
    RxListBinder.bind(items, adapter)
                .compose(bindToLifecycle())
                .subscribe();
}

Caution: to clean the RxList bound to the adapter simply call a clean() method, there's no need of creating a new RxList and attaching it to the adapter instead of the old one.
