what is the difference between extending ListAdapter and RecyclerView.Adapter?

[Kirill Grouchnikov]

One is for ListView, the other is for RecyclerView

[Kirill Grouchnikov]

Also not Kotlin specific, so perhaps you might want to start by reading the developer documentation on building Android apps in general

https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/recyclerview/widget/ListAdapter interesting to use same names of it

[Olivier Patry]

ListAdapter (the one extending recycler view's adapter, not the old one for ListView) removes a lot of boilerplate from regular adapter implementation when not much specific behavior is needed.
Also simplifies implementation of diff util callbacks.
