我有一个更好的解决方案，它允许以声明性和类型安全的方式创建多个视图类型。它是用Kotlin写的，顺便说一下，这真的很棒。

所有所需视图类型的简单视图持有者

class ViewHolderMedium(itemView: View) : RecyclerView.ViewHolder(itemView) {
    val icon: ImageView = itemView.findViewById(R.id.icon) as ImageView
    val label: TextView = itemView.findViewById(R.id.label) as TextView
}

有一个适配器数据项的抽象。注意，视图类型由特定视图持有者类(Kotlin中的KClass)的hashCode表示。

trait AdapterItem {
   val viewType: Int
   fun bindViewHolder(viewHolder: RecyclerView.ViewHolder)
}

abstract class AdapterItemBase<T>(val viewHolderClass: KClass<T>) : AdapterItem {
   override val viewType: Int = viewHolderClass.hashCode()
   abstract fun bindViewHolder(viewHolder: T)
   override fun bindViewHolder(viewHolder: RecyclerView.ViewHolder) {
       bindViewHolder(viewHolder as T)
   }
}

只有bindViewHolder需要在具体的适配器项类中重写(类型安全的方式)。

class AdapterItemMedium(val icon: Drawable, val label: String, val onClick: () -> Unit) : AdapterItemBase<ViewHolderMedium>(ViewHolderMedium::class) {
    override fun bindViewHolder(viewHolder: ViewHolderMedium) {
        viewHolder.icon.setImageDrawable(icon)
        viewHolder.label.setText(label)
        viewHolder.itemView.setOnClickListener { onClick() }
    }
}

这样的AdapterItemMedium对象的列表是适配器的数据源，它实际上接受List<AdapterItem>。见下文。

这个解决方案的重要部分是视图持有者工厂，它将提供特定ViewHolder的新实例:

class ViewHolderProvider {
    private val viewHolderFactories = hashMapOf<Int, Pair<Int, Any>>()

    fun provideViewHolder(viewGroup: ViewGroup, viewType: Int): RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
        val (layoutId: Int, f: Any) = viewHolderFactories.get(viewType)
        val viewHolderFactory = f as (View) -> RecyclerView.ViewHolder
        val view = LayoutInflater.from(viewGroup.getContext()).inflate(layoutId, viewGroup, false)
        return viewHolderFactory(view)
    }

    fun registerViewHolderFactory<T>(key: KClass<T>, layoutId: Int, viewHolderFactory: (View) -> T) {
        viewHolderFactories.put(key.hashCode(), Pair(layoutId, viewHolderFactory))
    }
}

简单的适配器类是这样的:

public class MultitypeAdapter(val items: List<AdapterItem>) : RecyclerView.Adapter<RecyclerView.ViewHolder>() {

   val viewHolderProvider = ViewHolderProvider() // inject ex Dagger2

   init {
        viewHolderProvider!!.registerViewHolderFactory(ViewHolderMedium::class, R.layout.item_medium, { itemView ->
            ViewHolderMedium(itemView)
        })
   }

   override fun getItemViewType(position: Int): Int {
        return items[position].viewType
    }

    override fun getItemCount(): Int {
        return items.size()
    }

    override fun onCreateViewHolder(viewGroup: ViewGroup, viewType: Int): RecyclerView.ViewHolder? {
        return viewHolderProvider!!.provideViewHolder(viewGroup, viewType)
    }

    override fun onBindViewHolder(viewHolder: RecyclerView.ViewHolder, position: Int) {
        items[position].bindViewHolder(viewHolder)
    }
}

创建一个新的视图类型只需要三个步骤:

创建一个视图持有者类 创建一个适配器项类(从AdapterItemBase扩展) 在ViewHolderProvider中注册视图持有者类

下面是这个概念的一个例子:android-drawer-template。

它甚至更进一步—视图类型充当旋转组件，具有可选择的适配器项。

虽然选择的答案是正确的，但我只是想进一步阐述它。我发现一个有用的自定义适配器为多种视图类型在RecyclerView。 它的Kotlin版本在这里。

自定义适配器如下:

public class CustomAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<RecyclerView.ViewHolder> {
    private final Context context;
    ArrayList<String> list; // ArrayList of your Data Model
    final int VIEW_TYPE_ONE = 1;
    final int VIEW_TYPE_TWO = 2;

    public CustomAdapter(Context context, ArrayList<String> list) { // you can pass other parameters in constructor
        this.context = context;
        this.list = list;
    }

    private class ViewHolder1 extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {

        TextView yourView;
        ViewHolder1(final View itemView) {
            super(itemView);
            yourView = itemView.findViewById(R.id.yourView); // Initialize your All views prensent in list items
        }
        void bind(int position) {
            // This method will be called anytime a list item is created or update its data
            // Do your stuff here
            yourView.setText(list.get(position));
        }
    }

    private class ViewHolder2 extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {

        TextView yourView;
        ViewHolder2(final View itemView) {
            super(itemView);
            yourView = itemView.findViewById(R.id.yourView); // Initialize your All views prensent in list items
        }
        void bind(int position) {
            // This method will be called anytime a list item is created or update its data
            //Do your stuff here
            yourView.setText(list.get(position));
        }
    }

    @Override
    public RecyclerView.ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
       if (viewType == VIEW_TYPE_ONE) {
           return new ViewHolder1(LayoutInflater.from(context).inflate(R.layout.your_list_item_1, parent, false));
       }
       //if its not VIEW_TYPE_ONE then its VIEW_TYPE_TWO
       return new ViewHolder2(LayoutInflater.from(context).inflate(R.layout.your_list_item_2, parent, false));

    }

    @Override
    public void onBindViewHolder(RecyclerView.ViewHolder holder, int position) {
        if (list.get(position).type == Something) { // Put your condition, according to your requirements
            ((ViewHolder1) holder).bind(position);
        } else {
            ((ViewHolder2) holder).bind(position);
        }
    }

    @Override
    public int getItemCount() {
        return list.size();
    }

    @Override
    public int getItemViewType(int position) {
        // Here you can get decide from your model's ArrayList, which type of view you need to load. Like
        if (list.get(position).type == Something) { // Put your condition, according to your requirements
            return VIEW_TYPE_ONE;
        }
        return VIEW_TYPE_TWO;
    }
}

实际上，我想改进一下安东的回答。

由于getItemViewType(int position)返回一个整数值，您可以返回需要膨胀的布局资源ID。这样你就可以在onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType)方法中保存一些逻辑。

此外，我不建议在getItemCount()中进行密集的计算，因为在呈现列表时，以及在呈现可见项之外的每个项时，该特定函数至少被调用了5次。遗憾的是，由于notifyDatasetChanged()方法是final方法，所以不能重写它，但是可以从适配器中的另一个函数调用它。

我首先推荐你阅读Hannes Dorfmann关于这个主题的优秀文章。

当一个新的视图类型出现时，你必须编辑适配器，你必须处理这么多乱七八糟的事情。您的适配器应该对扩展开放，但对修改关闭。

你可以看看这两个项目，他们可以给出如何在适配器中处理不同的ViewTypes的想法:

https://github.com/sockeqwe/AdapterDelegates https://github.com/ibrahimyilmaz/kiel

我是这样做的。我传递了“fragmentType”，并创建了两个ViewHolders，在此基础上，我在一个适配器中相应地分类了我的布局，可以有不同的布局和布局管理器

private Context mContext;
protected IOnLoyaltyCardCategoriesItemClicked mListener;
private String fragmentType;
private View view;

public LoyaltyCardsCategoriesRecyclerViewAdapter(Context context, IOnLoyaltyCardCategoriesItemClicked itemListener, String fragmentType) {
    this.mContext = context;
    this.mListener = itemListener;
    this.fragmentType = fragmentType;
}

public class LoyaltyCardCategoriesFragmentViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder implements View.OnClickListener {

    private ImageView lc_categories_iv;
    private TextView lc_categories_name_tv;
    private int pos;

    public LoyaltyCardCategoriesFragmentViewHolder(View v) {
        super(v);
        view.setOnClickListener(this);
        lc_categories_iv = (ImageView) v.findViewById(R.id.lc_categories_iv);
        lc_categories_name_tv = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.lc_categories_name_tv);
    }

    public void setData(int pos) {
        this.pos = pos;
        lc_categories_iv.setImageResource(R.mipmap.ic_launcher);
        lc_categories_name_tv.setText("Loyalty Card Categories");
    }

    @Override
    public void onClick(View view) {
        if (mListener != null) {
            mListener.onLoyaltyCardCategoriesItemClicked(pos);
        }
    }
}

public class MyLoyaltyCardsFragmentTagViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder implements View.OnClickListener {

    public ImageButton lc_categories_btn;
    private int pos;

    public MyLoyaltyCardsFragmentTagViewHolder(View v) {
        super(v);
        lc_categories_btn = (ImageButton) v.findViewById(R.id.lc_categories_btn);
        lc_categories_btn.setOnClickListener(this);
    }

    public void setData(int pos) {
        this.pos = pos;
        lc_categories_btn.setImageResource(R.mipmap.ic_launcher);
    }

    @Override
    public void onClick(View view) {
        if (mListener != null) {
            mListener.onLoyaltyCardCategoriesItemClicked(pos);
        }
    }
}

@NonNull
@Override
public RecyclerView.ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
    if (fragmentType.equalsIgnoreCase(Constants.LoyaltyCardCategoriesFragmentTag)) {
        view = LayoutInflater.from(mContext).inflate(R.layout.loyalty_cards_categories_frag_item, parent, false);
        return new LoyaltyCardCategoriesFragmentViewHolder(view);
    } else if (fragmentType.equalsIgnoreCase(Constants.MyLoyaltyCardsFragmentTag)) {
        view = LayoutInflater.from(mContext).inflate(R.layout.my_loyalty_cards_categories_frag_item, parent, false);
        return new MyLoyaltyCardsFragmentTagViewHolder(view);
    } else {
        return null;
    }
}

@Override
public void onBindViewHolder(@NonNull RecyclerView.ViewHolder holder, int position) {
    if (fragmentType.equalsIgnoreCase(Constants.LoyaltyCardCategoriesFragmentTag)) {
        ((LoyaltyCardCategoriesFragmentViewHolder) holder).setData(position);
    } else if (fragmentType.equalsIgnoreCase(Constants.MyLoyaltyCardsFragmentTag)) {
        ((MyLoyaltyCardsFragmentTagViewHolder) holder).setData(position);
    }
}

@Override
public int getItemCount() {
    return 7;
}

首先，必须创建两个布局XML文件。之后，在recyclerview适配器中，TYPE_CALL和TYPE_EMAIL是两个静态值，分别为适配器类中的1和2。

现在在Recycler视图Adapter类级别定义两个静态值，例如:private static int TYPE_EMAIL = 2;

现在创建多个视图的视图持有者，如下所示:

class CallViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {

    private TextView txtName;
    private TextView txtAddress;

    CallViewHolder(@NonNull View itemView) {
        super(itemView);
        txtName = itemView.findViewById(R.id.txtName);
        txtAddress = itemView.findViewById(R.id.txtAddress);
    }
}

class EmailViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {

    private TextView txtName;
    private TextView txtAddress;

    EmailViewHolder(@NonNull View itemView) {
        super(itemView);
        txtName = itemView.findViewById(R.id.txtName);
        txtAddress = itemView.findViewById(R.id.txtAddress);
    }
}

现在在recyclerview适配器的onCreateViewHolder和onBindViewHolder方法中编写如下代码:

@NonNull
@Override
public RecyclerView.ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(@NonNull ViewGroup viewGroup, int viewType) {
    View view;
    if (viewType == TYPE_CALL) { // for call layout
        view = LayoutInflater.from(context).inflate(R.layout.item_call, viewGroup, false);
        return new CallViewHolder(view);

    } else { // for email layout
        view = LayoutInflater.from(context).inflate(R.layout.item_email, viewGroup, false);
        return new EmailViewHolder(view);
    }
}

@Override
public void onBindViewHolder(@NonNull RecyclerView.ViewHolder viewHolder, int position) {
    if (getItemViewType(position) == TYPE_CALL) {
        ((CallViewHolder) viewHolder).setCallDetails(employees.get(position));
    } else {
        ((EmailViewHolder) viewHolder).setEmailDetails(employees.get(position));
    }
}
