Using the Bento Framework to Upgrade Legacy Apps
summary
Yelp replaces a tangled set of nested adapters and ListViews with the open source Bento framework, wrapping the legacy sectioned adapter into a ListAdapterComponent so old adapters keep working while new components land incrementally; the codebase goes from about 11 adapters for search to modular components reused across home, search and details, adds unit and Espresso tests, introduces divider components to control spacing, later swaps in RecyclerView, and preserves the same UI while speeding feature development with minimal compile overhead.
