23,164 Pointswhy inflate has 3 argument ? what is the different from DayAdapter
In this recyclerView Hour adapter we see ben use inflate method with 3 argument that is
.inflate(R.layout.hourly_list_item, parent, false);
I see that in the day adapter ben use inflate method with 2 argument that is
.inflate(R.layout.custom_daily_list, null);
I didn't know the difference between this 2 inflate method since ben just say you must use it. Anyone know the difference ??

23,164 Pointsdoes it have significant meaning for the layout ?? Cause I try to change the parent to null and the hour adapter still works fine.
View view = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.custom_hour_list, null);
I also change the daily adapter to use the parent view and it also still works fine
convertView = LayoutInflater.from(mContext).inflate(R.layout.custom_day_list, parent, false);
what happen here?

Inflate the R.layout.hourly_list_item View. Use the parent View to choose the right type of LayoutParams for our new View, but don't attach this new View to the parent.
.inflate(R.layout.custom_daily_list, null);
Inflate the R.layout.custom_daily_list View, and don't give it a parent.
Here's the LayoutInflator docs if you'd like to investigate anything yourself :)
