/**
 * {@link RecyclerView.Adapter RecyclerView.Adapter} base class for presenting List data in a
 * {@link RecyclerView}, including computing diffs between Lists on a background thread.
 * <p>
 * This class is a convenience wrapper around {@link AsyncListDiffer} that implements Adapter common
 * default behavior for item access and counting.
 * <p>
 * While using a LiveData&lt;List> is an easy way to provide data to the adapter, it isn't required
 * - you can use {@link #submitList(List)} when new lists are available.
 * <p>
 * A complete usage pattern with Room would look like this:
 * <pre>
 * {@literal @}Dao
 * interface UserDao {
 *     {@literal @}Query("SELECT * FROM user ORDER BY lastName ASC")
 *     public abstract LiveData&lt;List&lt;User>> usersByLastName();
 * }
 *
 * class MyViewModel extends ViewModel {
 *     public final LiveData&lt;List&lt;User>> usersList;
 *     public MyViewModel(UserDao userDao) {
 *         usersList = userDao.usersByLastName();
 *     }
 * }
 *
 * class MyActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
 *     {@literal @}Override
 *     public void onCreate(Bundle savedState) {
 *         super.onCreate(savedState);
 *         MyViewModel viewModel = ViewModelProviders.of(this).get(MyViewModel.class);
 *         RecyclerView recyclerView = findViewById(R.id.user_list);
 *         UserAdapter&lt;User> adapter = new UserAdapter();
 *         viewModel.usersList.observe(this, list -> adapter.submitList(list));
 *         recyclerView.setAdapter(adapter);
 *     }
 * }
 *
 * class UserAdapter extends ListAdapter&lt;User, UserViewHolder> {
 *     public UserAdapter() {
 *         super(User.DIFF_CALLBACK);
 *     }
 *     {@literal @}Override
 *     public void onBindViewHolder(UserViewHolder holder, int position) {
 *         holder.bindTo(getItem(position));
 *     }
 *     public static final DiffUtil.ItemCallback&lt;User> DIFF_CALLBACK =
 *             new DiffUtil.ItemCallback&lt;User>() {
 *         {@literal @}Override
 *         public boolean areItemsTheSame(
 *                 {@literal @}NonNull User oldUser, {@literal @}NonNull User newUser) {
 *             // User properties may have changed if reloaded from the DB, but ID is fixed
 *             return oldUser.getId() == newUser.getId();
 *         }
 *         {@literal @}Override
 *         public boolean areContentsTheSame(
 *                 {@literal @}NonNull User oldUser, {@literal @}NonNull User newUser) {
 *             // NOTE: if you use equals, your object must properly override Object#equals()
 *             // Incorrectly returning false here will result in too many animations.
 *             return oldUser.equals(newUser);
 *         }
 *     }
 * }</pre>
 *
 * Advanced users that wish for more control over adapter behavior, or to provide a specific base
 * class should refer to {@link AsyncListDiffer}, which provides custom mapping from diff events
 * to adapter positions.
 *
 * @param <T> Type of the Lists this Adapter will receive.
 * @param <VH> A class that extends ViewHolder that will be used by the adapter.
