Android RecyclerView example. This gist only showcases the recycler view handling. You may you have to implement the layouts yourself if you wish to run this.

import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity

// add a to-do item to the list when submit button is clicked
submitButton.setOnClickListener {
