RecyclerView

RecyclerView is a component in Android apps that efficiently displays large lists or grids of items, such as contacts, photos, or messages. It works by reusing (recycling) views that go off-screen, reducing memory use and improving performance. As you scroll, RecyclerView dynamically creates only the views needed to show visible items and updates them with new data. This makes it suitable for presenting extensive data collections smoothly and efficiently, providing a flexible and scalable way to manage and display lists within an app.
