RecyclerView vs. ListView

Question

From android developer (Creating Lists and Cards):

The RecyclerView widget is a more advanced and flexible version of ListView.

Answer 1

1. You can use an interface to provide a click listener. I use this technique with ListViews, too.
2. No divider: Simply add in your row a View with a width of match_parent and a height of 1dp and give it a background color.
3. Simply use a StateList selector for the row background.
4. addHeaderView can be avoided in ListViews, too: simply put the Header outside the View.

So, if efficiency is your concern, then yes, it's a good idea to replace a ListView with a RecyclerView.
