RecyclerView的缓存是通过内部的Recycler来实现的
final Recycler mRecycler = new Recycler();
public final class Recycler {
此处缓存的是还在屏幕中的ViewHolder(一级缓存)
mAttachedScrap 存储的是当前还在屏幕中的 ViewHolder；按照 id 和 position 来查找 ViewHolder
mChangedScrap 表示数据已经改变的 ViewHolder 列表, 存储 notifyXXX 方法时需要改变的 ViewHolder
final ArrayList mAttachedScrap = new ArrayList<>();
ArrayList mChangedScrap = null;
用来缓存移除屏幕之外的 ViewHolder，默认情况下缓存容量是 2，可以通过 setViewCacheSize 方法来
改变缓存的容量大小。如果 mCachedViews 的容量已满，则会根据 FIFO 的规则移除旧
ViewHolder（二级缓存）
final ArrayList mCachedViews = new ArrayList();
private final List
mUnmodifiableAttachedScrap = Collections.unmodifiableList(mAttachedScrap);
private int mRequestedCacheMax = DEFAULT_CACHE_SIZE;
int mViewCacheMax = DEFAULT_CACHE_SIZE;
ViewHolder 缓存池，在有限的 mCachedViews 中如果存不下新的 ViewHolder 时，就会把 ViewHolder
存入RecyclerViewPool 中。（四级缓存）
RecycledViewPool mRecyclerPool;
开发给用户的自定义扩展缓存，需要用户自己管理 View 的创建和缓存。（三级缓存）
private ViewCacheExtension mViewCacheExtension;
static final int DEFAULT_CACHE_SIZE = 2;
RecyclerView的缓存默认分为四层，我们首先看一下RecyclerView怎么获取单个item的view
public View getViewForPosition(int position) {
return getViewForPosition(position, false);
}
View getViewForPosition(int position, boolean dryRun) {
return tryGetViewHolderForPositionByDeadline(position, dryRun, FOREVER_NS).itemView;
}
首先看以下第一层的获取：
if (mState.isPreLayout()) {
holder = getChangedScrapViewForPosition(position);
fromScrapOrHiddenOrCache = holder != null;
}
ViewHolder getChangedScrapViewForPosition(int position) {
// If pre-layout, check the changed scrap for an exact match.
final int changedScrapSize;
if (mChangedScrap == null || (changedScrapSize = mChangedScrap.size()) == 0) {
return null;
}
// find by position
for (int i = 0; i < changedScrapSize; i++) {
//mChangedScrap存储的是数据被更新的ViewHolder,比如说调用了Adapter的notifyItemChanged方法
final ViewHolder holder = mChangedScrap.get(i);
if (!holder.wasReturnedFromScrap() && holder.getLayoutPosition() == position) {
holder.addFlags(ViewHolder.FLAG_RETURNED_FROM_SCRAP);
return holder;
}
}
// find by id
if (mAdapter.hasStableIds()) {
final int offsetPosition = mAdapterHelper.findPositionOffset(position);
if (offsetPosition > 0 && offsetPosition < mAdapter.getItemCount()) {
final long id = mAdapter.getItemId(offsetPosition);
for (int i = 0; i < changedScrapSize; i++) {
final ViewHolder holder = mChangedScrap.get(i);
if (!holder.wasReturnedFromScrap() && holder.getItemId() == id) {
holder.addFlags(ViewHolder.FLAG_RETURNED_FROM_SCRAP);
return holder;
}
}
}
}
return null;
}
此处的mChangedScrap，缓存的是还在屏幕中已经改变的ViewHolder，接着再往下看：
if (holder == null) {
holder = getScrapOrHiddenOrCachedHolderForPosition(position, dryRun);
ViewHolder getScrapOrHiddenOrCachedHolderForPosition(int position, boolean dryRun) {
final int scrapCount = mAttachedScrap.size();
// Try first for an exact, non-invalid match from scrap.
for (int i = 0; i < scrapCount; i++) {
此处从一级缓存中的获取ViewHolder
final ViewHolder holder = mAttachedScrap.get(i);
if (!holder.wasReturnedFromScrap() && holder.getLayoutPosition() == position
&& !holder.isInvalid() && (mState.mInPreLayout || !holder.isRemoved())) {
holder.addFlags(ViewHolder.FLAG_RETURNED_FROM_SCRAP);
return holder;
}
}
// Search in our first-level recycled view cache.
final int cacheSize = mCachedViews.size();
for (int i = 0; i < cacheSize; i++) {
此处从三级缓存中获取ViewHolder
final ViewHolder holder = mCachedViews.get(i);
// invalid view holders may be in cache if adapter has stable ids as they can be
// retrieved via getScrapOrCachedViewForId
if (!holder.isInvalid() && holder.getLayoutPosition() == position
&& !holder.isAttachedToTransitionOverlay()) {
if (!dryRun) {
mCachedViews.remove(i);
}
if (DEBUG) {
Log.d(TAG, "getScrapOrHiddenOrCachedHolderForPosition(" + position
+ ") found match in cache: " + holder);
}
return holder;
}
}
return null;
}
此处通过position来先从一级缓存中获取ViewHolder，获取不到去二级缓存中获取，再往下看：
if (mAdapter.hasStableIds()) {
holder = getScrapOrCachedViewForId(mAdapter.getItemId(offsetPosition),
可以看到通过hasStableIds再次根据id来获取，这个获取的方式和上面的方法类似，可以自己去看一下，接着再往下看：
if (holder == null && mViewCacheExtension != null) {
// We are NOT sending the offsetPosition because LayoutManager does not
// know it.
final View view = mViewCacheExtension
.getViewForPositionAndType(this, position, type);
if (view != null) {
holder = getChildViewHolder(view);
@Nullable
public abstract View getViewForPositionAndType(@NonNull Recycler recycler, int position,
int type);
可以看到这里就用上了三级缓存，需要自定义来实现的，接着再往下看：
if (holder == null) { // fallback to pool
if (DEBUG) {
Log.d(TAG, "tryGetViewHolderForPositionByDeadline("
+ position + ") fetching from shared pool");
}
holder = getRecycledViewPool().getRecycledView(type);
@Nullable
public ViewHolder getRecycledView(int viewType) {
final ScrapData scrapData = mScrap.get(viewType);
if (scrapData != null && !scrapData.mScrapHeap.isEmpty()) {
final ArrayList scrapHeap = scrapData.mScrapHeap;
for (int i = scrapHeap.size() - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
if (!scrapHeap.get(i).isAttachedToTransitionOverlay()) {
return scrapHeap.remove(i);
}
}
}
return null;
}
这里用上了第四级缓存，同样需要我们自己来实现，之后我们再看下从缓存中取不到的情况：
if (holder == null) {
long start = getNanoTime();
if (deadlineNs != FOREVER_NS
&& !mRecyclerPool.willCreateInTime(type, start, deadlineNs)) {
// abort - we have a deadline we can't meet
return null;
}
holder = mAdapter.createViewHolder(RecyclerView.this, type);
if (ALLOW_THREAD_GAP_WORK) {
// only bother finding nested RV if prefetching
RecyclerView innerView = findNestedRecyclerView(holder.itemView);
if (innerView != null) {
holder.mNestedRecyclerView = new WeakReference<>(innerView);
}
}
可以看到当我们从缓存中取不到的时候就会调用createViewHolder方法来新建ViewHolder
