This change is happening in the next few days.

https://github.com/RolandPheasant/DynamicData/wiki/Introduction-for-ReactiveUI-users is some documentation that Roland prepared a while back.

DynamicData - Reactive collections based on Rx.Net

@glennawatson @RolandPheasant
Is there any current documentation on how to get users from ReactiveList to Dynamic Data? If so, lets make sure it's visible and readily accessible. If not, is there any way we can draft something that we can provide to consumers on the differences? I know Dynamic Data has documentation, but to Glenn's point, conversion shouldn't be a labored effort where our users are stuck for hours scratching their heads.

Documentation was my caveat when I tried to convert current project where ReactiveList behave strangely with DynamicData. It would be great to create a sample project to demonstrate usage.

We should definitely make sure users see that article.

I'm looking at upgrading an "old" Xamarin.Android-based ReactiveUI and due to the obsolete nature of ReactiveList and that there is no "legacy" version of ReactiveRecyclerViewAdapter/ReactiveList (have to use IObservable<IChangeSet> now), I'm really confused on how to re-structure this app to use DynamicData, so:

Are there any sample projects using Xamarin.Android ReactiveUI/DynamicData? TIA...

Jump on slack https://reactiveui.net/slack and join the #ReactiveUI channel. Someone can help you adapt your project there.

You can still use ReactiveList with theReactiveRecyclerViewAdapter

There is a second generic class with the signature ReactiveRecyclerViewAdapter<TViewModel, TCollection>

so you can derive off ReactiveRecyclerViewAdapter<MyViewModel, ReactiveList<MyViewModel>>

That will call the DynamicData overload ToObservableChangeSet<TCollection, TViewModel>() -- this will essentially convert existing collections into a IObservable<IChangeSet<T>>

That overload class can handle any collection derived from ICollection<T> and INotifyCollectionChanged btw, so if you're doing single threaded collection changes you can use a ObservableCollectionExtended<T> when ReactiveList goes away.
