Tangram is a suite of Android and iOS UI layout libraries from Alibaba, with vlayout as its core RecyclerView LayoutManager extension supporting mixed grid, list, and fixed layouts in a single scrollable view. The projects are no longer maintained.
Use cases
- mix grid and list layouts in one recyclerview
- build complex multi-type feed pages on android
- create sticky or floating views inside a scrolling list
- implement waterfall/staggered layouts in recyclerview
- build e-commerce homepage-style dynamic layouts
When to choose
- you need a proven RecyclerView LayoutManager for mixed layouts and accept no future updates
- you maintain a legacy Android app already using Tangram
When to avoid
- you need actively maintained software with bug fixes
- you are starting a new Android project and can use modern alternatives like Jetpack Compose
- you need iOS support with ongoing maintenance
