Abstract View
=============

.. versionadded:: 1.5

.. deprecated:: 1.10.0
    The feature has been deprecated.

.. warning::

    This code is still experimental, and its API is subject to change in a
    future version.

The :class:`~kivy.uix.abstractview.AbstractView` widget has an adapter property
for an adapter that mediates to data. The adapter manages an
item_view_instance dict property that holds views for each data item,
operating as a cache.
