I think the main and biggest difference they have is that ListView looks for the position of the item while creating or putting it, on the other hand RecyclerView looks for the type of the item. if there is another item created with the same type RecyclerView does not create it again. It asks first adapter and then asks to recycledpool, if recycled pool says "yeah I've created a type similar to it", then RecyclerView doesn't try to create same type. ListView doesn't have a this kind of pooling mechanism.

我用RecyclerView工作了一点，仍然喜欢ListView。

当然，它们都使用ViewHolders，所以这不是一个优势。 RecyclerView在编码方面更加困难。 RecyclerView不包含页眉和页脚，所以它是一个减号。 ListView不需要创建ViewHolder。如果你想要一个带有分段或子标题的列表，那么创建独立的项(没有ViewHolder)是个好主意，这样更容易，也不需要单独的类。

主要优势:

ViewHolder在ListView中默认是不可用的。我们将在getView()中显式地创建。 RecyclerView有内置的Viewholder。

ListView和RecyclerView之间有很多区别，但你应该特别注意以下几点:

ViewHolder模式在ListView中是完全可选的，但它被烘焙到RecyclerView中。 ListView只支持垂直滚动，但RecyclerView并不局限于垂直滚动列表。

您可以使用接口来提供单击侦听器。我用这个 技术与ListViews。 无需分隔:只需在行中添加宽度为的视图 Match_parent和1dp的高度，并给它一个背景色。 简单地使用StateList选择器作为行背景。 addHeaderView也可以在ListViews中避免使用:只需将 视图外的标头。

所以，如果效率是你所关心的，那么是的，用RecyclerView替换ListView是个好主意。

除了以上差异之外，还有以下几个:

RV separates view creation and binding of data to view. In LV, you need to check if convertView is null or not for creating view, before binding data to it. So, in case of RV, view will be created only when it is needed but in case of LV, one can miss the check for convertview and will create view everytime. Switching between Grid and List is more easy now with LayoutManager. No need to notify and update all items, even if only single item is changed. One had to implement view caching in case of LV. It is provided in RV by default. (There is difference between view caching n recycling.) Very easy item animations in case of RV.
