Content
- ScrollView
- ListView
- RecyclerView
- CardView
Scroll View
- Container for a view hierarchy that can be scrolled by the user
- View hierarchy can be bigger then physical display
- It has only one child view
- Never use scroll view with a list view

ListView
2 ways of doing list view
- Old one - easier to understand (in my opinion) - Using list adapter
- New one - harder to understand (in my opinion) - Using RecyclerView
Which one are we going to use?
RecyclerView
But why???!!!??!
Because new is always better
"You know who's a million times hotter than the hottest girl I've ever slept with? Her okay-looking friend I haven't seen naked. Why? Because new is always better. "*
