[F/OS] Recycler List View - Render larger data sets efficiently using `RecyclerView` for AppInventor & Distros

Well for searching a list this big, you should instead work on a background thread. The filtering process in slow. Recycler view doesn’t care how large your data is. Because it only renders views that are visible on the screen. I would recomment filtering data on a background thread.

I test it with a cvs file that contained ~13000 rows, 4 columns. Works really nice

No, I just imported your csv to assets, no internet needed. Modified original aia provided by @Boban in How can i load big data(12600rows) from csv file using kodular dynamic without lag or freeze - #67 by Boban with latest version of extension, using data and ListUtils extension

Is there any way to clear generated list views ? If i do searching multiple times, result produces overlapping of list views

This is initial time needed to make a separate list (13k items into four lists).

I have a really cool idea in mind of implementing pagination using android Paging3 library which will reduce initial load time by reducing amount of data being loaded. Just hope that I am able to do it.

How we can fix overlapping cardview problem after search??

Why four lists? No need to create 4 lists, just get table once and save it to a global list no overlapping at search

The main issue in implementing this functionality is the way data is loaded. Because in extension, I don’t know how a user is loading data. He/She maybe using local database or maybe some online platform. Maybe we could discuss it with some other interested devs to comeup with a better and scalabale solution. Thought??

In think the issue is that till now we needed to create separate lists to load different values. Now with your extension I load the hole table, no need to create separate lists. So using for example a google spreadsheet it took 3 seconds to get a big table and once you have the data you don’t need to call again the spreadsheet

Also this is very helpful

From the votes, it is clear that Data property is more readable and understandable than Count property. Therefor I will deprecate Count block. It will still work so the porjects will not break too much. However after next version, it will be remove and it won’t be present in newer projects either.
