Student.kt
===========
create model class in kotlin like below
package com.pratap.kotlinrecyclerview.models
/**
* Created by pratap.kesaboyina on 27-11-2017.
*/
data class Student(val name: String, val email: String)
MainActivity.kt
===============
package com.pratap.kotlinrecyclerview
import android.os.Bundle
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity
import android.support.v7.widget.LinearLayoutManager
import android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
import android.widget.LinearLayout
import com.pratap.kotlinrecyclerview.adapters.StudentsAdapter
import com.pratap.kotlinrecyclerview.models.Student
class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)
val recyclerView: RecyclerView = findViewById(R.id.recyclerView)
//adding a layoutmanager
recyclerView.layoutManager = LinearLayoutManager(this, LinearLayout.VERTICAL, false)
//crating an arraylist to store users using the data class user
val users = ArrayList<Student>()
//adding some dummy data to the list
for (i in 1..10) {
users.add(Student("Student " + i, "Student" + i + "@gmail.com"))
}
//creating our adapter
val adapter = StudentsAdapter(users)
//now adding the adapter to recyclerview
recyclerView.adapter = adapter
}
}
