This is the official sample application for DpadRecyclerView, an open-source library designed specifically for building efficient and navigable user interfaces on Android TV. This app serves as a technical demonstration for developers to test, verify, and explore the capabilities of the DpadRecyclerView library as a modern replacement for Leanback's BaseGridView and an alternative to Compose layouts.

Target Audience: Android TV Developers, Kotlin & Jetpack Compose UI Engineers, Open Source Contributors

Key Features Demonstrated: This sample showcases the core functionality of the library, allowing developers to interact with the following features directly on their Android TV devices:

Leanback Replacement: Demonstrates how to achieve high-performance grids and lists without the legacy Leanback library dependency.

Jetpack Compose Interoperability: Examples of using DpadComposeViewHolder to integrate Compose UI seamlessly within RecyclerViews.

Advanced Focus Management: Visualizes focus handling, including OnViewHolderSelectedListener, sub-position selection, and task-aligned scrolling.

Custom Alignment: Explore different edge alignment preferences, custom scrolling speeds, and parent-child alignment configurations.

Grid Layouts: View implementations of grids with uneven span sizes and complex layout structures.

Additional UI Utilities: Includes demos for Fading Edges, Scrollbars, Reverse Layouts, and Drag & Drop functionality on D-pad interfaces.

Open Source DpadRecyclerView is open-source software licensed under the Apache 2.0 License. This sample allows you to preview the code behavior before integrating the library into your own production applications.
