Is there another solutions instead of nested Recyclerview

Question

Now my code is about Nested RecyclerView for 3 layer example

• RecyclerView of Product have
• RecyclerView of comment and order inside and both also have
• RecyclerView of reply|COMMENT in comment and order too.

The customer wants this.

Is there another solutions to handle this with good performance.

While I'm using Nested RecyclerView it lags and slow if a lot of product, comment, order and reply to display

Answer 1

Nested Recyclerviews are a bad practice in the material design or google app design guidelines. You will have trouble with a bad and wrong scroll behaviour, it is simply not possible to work with this fluently as a user. Also your views will not be recycled and if your content grows the app will act very slow! There are workarounds but it is all a bad practice and more a bad design. You should inform your customers because there are not aware of those design failures and the technical bottlenecks.

A better way would be to enable to collapse the nested views. And just scroll the whole view or to use paging inside all nested views.
