What will happen if we keep on loading thousands of items in any type list in Android? Will Android be able to recycle it correctly?
Short Answer
In your case, there Would not be any problem in recycling of list view or recycler view.
Long Answer
The list view or recycler view would just load and show the amount of data which are visible on the UI. So the size of the items in it is not any problem.
BUT
there are some cases which would make problem. for example if you put a recycler view inside a Scroll view! In such cases all of the items are loaded and there is no GC. That's where you would have big problems with lots of data.
