What is RecyclerView?

RecyclerView is a flexible and efficient view for displaying large datasets in Android. It's a more advanced and performant version of ListView and GridView, designed to handle dynamic content and support different layouts (linear, grid, staggered grid) through the use of LayoutManagers. It efficiently recycles views that are no longer visible, minimizing memory usage and improving scrolling performance, particularly when dealing with a large number of items. It relies on the ViewHolder pattern to avoid repeatedly looking up view references.
