<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>


<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="[Link]
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">

<[Link]
android:id="@+id/recyclerView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
</RelativeLayout>

[Link] a Data Model


• Create a simple data class for your list items:

13
data class Item(val name: String)
[Link] the Layout for Each Item
• Create a new XML layout file named item_view.xml in res/layout:
Xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>


<LinearLayout xmlns:android="[Link]
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:padding="16dp">

<TextView
android:id="@+id/textViewItem"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="18sp" />
</LinearLayout>

[Link] the Adapter

• Create an adapter class that extends [Link]. This will bind your data to the views.

class ItemAdapter(private val items: List<Item>) :


[Link]<[Link]>() {

class ItemViewHolder(itemView: View) : [Link](itemView) {


val textView: TextView = [Link]([Link])
}

override fun onCreateViewHolder(parent: ViewGroup, viewType: Int): ItemViewHolder {


val view = [Link]([Link]).inflate([Link].item_view, parent, false)
return ItemViewHolder(view)
}

override fun onBindViewHolder(holder: ItemViewHolder, position: Int) {


[Link] = items[position].name
}

override fun getItemCount() = [Link]


• }
[Link] Up RecyclerView in MainActivity

• In your [Link], set up the RecyclerView and its adapter:


Kotlin
14
class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {

private lateinit var recyclerView: RecyclerView


private lateinit var adapter: ItemAdapter

override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {


[Link](savedInstanceState)
setContentView([Link].activity_main)

recyclerView = findViewById([Link])
[Link] = LinearLayoutManager(this)

// Sample data
val items = List(100) { Item("Item #$it") }

adapter = ItemAdapter(items)
[Link] = adapter
}
}

val connection = [Link]() as HttpURLConnection
[Link] = "GET"

// Connect and get response code


[Link]()
val responseCode = [Link]
if (responseCode == HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK) {
// Read response
val inputStream = [Link]
val reader = BufferedReader(InputStreamReader(inputStream))
val response = StringBuilder()
var line: String?
while ([Link]().also { line = it } != null) {
[Link](line)
}
// Use the response data
println([Link]())
}
}
3. Using Modern HTTP Clients

For more efficient networking, consider using libraries like Retrofit or Ktor:
Example with Retrofit
Add Retrofit dependencies in your [Link]:

19
implementation '[Link].retrofit2:retrofit:2.9.0'
implementation '[Link].retrofit2:converter-gson:2.9.
5. Handle Connectivity Changes
To monitor changes in connectivity, you can implement a NetworkCallback with ConnectivityManager:

val networkRequest = [Link]()


.addCapability(NetworkCapabilities.NET_CAPABILITY_INTERNET)
.addTransportType(NetworkCapabilities.TRANSPORT_WIFI)
.addTransportType(NetworkCapabilities.TRANSPORT_CELLULAR)
.build()
[Link](networkRequest,
object : [Link]() {
override fun onAvailable(network: Network) {
// Connected to internet
override fun onLost(network: Network) {
// Lost internet connection
}
}

Column {
// Android View (ImageView)
AndroidView(factory = { context ->
ImageView(context).apply {
setImageDrawable([Link](context, [Link].my_image))
}
})

// Compose Button
Button(onClick = { [Link]++ }) {
Text("Click Me")
}

// Update TextView with click count


AndroidView(factory = { context ->
TextView(context).apply {
layoutParams = [Link](MATCH_PARENT,
WRAP_CONTENT)
