RecyclerView is a more advanced and flexible version of ListView, introduced in the Android L Developer Preview but also backported to the Support Library. It is a container for large sets of views that can be recycled and scrolled very efficiently.
Yo use a RecyclerView, an adapter (extending RecyclerView.Adapter) and a layout manager (extending RecyclerView.LayoutManager) must be provided. By default, RecyclerView provides LinearLayoutManager, which shows the items in a vertical or horizontal scrolling list.
