FastAdapter is a Kotlin library that simplifies building RecyclerView adapters on Android, handling item views, click listeners, selection, and more with minimal boilerplate. It ships modular extensions for expandable items, drag & drop, sticky headers, filtering, endless scroll, and swipe gestures.

Use cases

• build a recyclerview adapter with less boilerplate
• add multi-select to an android list
• implement swipe-to-dismiss on list items
• create expandable list items in recyclerview
• add sticky headers to a recyclerview
• implement endless scroll / infinite loading list
• handle click and long-click listeners on list items

When to choose

• you build Android list/grid UIs with RecyclerView and want to cut adapter boilerplate
• you need selection, expandable items, drag & drop, or swipe actions out of the box
• you want a well-maintained, widely used Kotlin adapter library

When to avoid

• you use Jetpack Compose lists instead of RecyclerView
• your project is not Android/Kotlin
• you need a fully custom adapter architecture the library's item model can't express
