What this system is

Features

Recycled view animations now support stable IDs and are implemented in Kotlin

The \animators\ library has been rewritten in Kotlin, introducing a new \AnimationAdapter\ base class that properly initializes and delegates \hasStableIds\ to the wrapped adapter. This ensures that RecyclerView item animations (such as FadeIn, ScaleIn, and SlideIn variants) correctly preserve stable ID behavior, allowing for more efficient list updates and smoother visual transitions when items are added, removed, or changed.

Example app rewritten in Kotlin with modern AndroidX components

The example application's source files in example/src/main/java have been converted from Java to Kotlin. The activities (MainActivity, AnimatorSampleActivity, AdapterSampleActivity) and supporting classes (MainAdapter, MyAnimationAdapter, MyAnimator, SampleData) now use Kotlin syntax and AndroidX libraries, providing a modern, idiomatic Kotlin implementation of the library's usage examples.

Library migrated to Kotlin and updated for modern Android development

The library has been rewritten in Kotlin (version 4.0.0), raising the minimum SDK to 21 and targeting SDK 30. This change improves code reliability and aligns the project with modern Android development practices, while also updating build tools and disabling Jetifier.

Dependencies

Migrate to AndroidX and Kotlin

The project has been migrated to AndroidX, updating the support library dependencies to their AndroidX equivalents (e.g., androidx.appcompat, androidx.recyclerview). The build system has been updated to use Kotlin for the library and example modules, and Gradle dependencies have been upgraded to support AndroidX and Kotlin 1.3.72.

(dependencies) · high confidence

Updated Gradle wrapper to version 6.7.1

The Gradle wrapper has been updated to use Gradle version 6.7.1. This change ensures that the project uses a specific, stable version of the Gradle build tool, improving build consistency across different environments.

How this codebase got here

This is the PUBLIC form of this artifact. Findings are listed in full, but the details of SECURITY findings — which rule fired, in which file, on which line, and how to fix it — are deliberately withheld, and any secret-scanner results are excluded entirely. Where detail is absent here it was REMOVED FOR PUBLICATION; it is not missing from the analysis. The complete artifact is available from the repository owner.

wasabeef/recyclerview-animators was measured the same way every project in this corpus was: the same rubric, at a pinned commit, with the result published in full. Point a surveyor at a repository you know and see whether you agree with it.

About this page

  • The score is its most recent published measurement, taken on 25 September 2026 at a pinned commit. It is not a live figure and does not change until the project is measured again.
  • Measured at commit 6c5c7748e86f43d3d03f7b3122f473e1fd807681 — the exact code this score is about.
  • Scored under rubric-2026.09.15 — the same rubric and the same method as every other entry in this index.
  • Measured by watchdog.canine.dev using codehealth-analyzer preprod-dd72cc24c749.
