RecyclerView Infinite Scroll
2024Seamless pagination for Android lists

Overview
A high-performance Native Android project demonstrating infinite scrolling pagination in RecyclerView with dynamic page loading, shimmer loading placeholders, state handling (idle, loading, error), and custom adapters.
02
Problem
Implementing smooth infinite scrolling with proper scroll listeners and state management in Android's RecyclerView often leads to repetitive boilerplate code, memory leaks, jittery UI transitions, and poor API rate-limit management.

Solution
Designed an elegant listener-based scroll handler combined with a custom loading state adapter. Implemented a robust architecture separating logic from view layers, ensuring clean integration with paginated backends.
04
Impact
Provides a clean, reusable boilerplate for developer integration, offering buttery-smooth pagination and handling page loading states efficiently without visual stutters.
