How to get View Type of Model generated using ModelView and autoLayout

It is easy to get the View Type when using @ModelView annotation and defaultLayout parameter, as the View Type is equals to the layout ID (R.layout.my_view).

However, when using the @ModelView annotation with the autoLayout option, I don’t see any way to get the View Type of the view.

For example: @ModelView(autoLayout = Size.MATCH_WIDTH_WRAP_HEIGHT)

Do I really need to set a defaultLayout if I want to get the View Type? I need the View Type in a custom ItemDecoration…

Thanks!

I like the idea of having the divider set on the Model itself and toggling it using an Interceptor. I think this is a more elegant solution and that it provides more flexibility.

For example, one problem I faced with ItemDecorations is that they don’t animate when for example you show a bunch of items with dividers. The items appear with a fade-in animation, but the dividers just appear without any animation. Using the divider directly in the model would fix this issue.

Thanks for your help and ideas!

@elihart Use the base Models for myself view is a great idea. But, I guess, this way means i need use a BaseView for all the Views, I don’t want to do that.Can you provide an example? The is a lot to me . 😃
