Position of an imageview changing when searching for an item in RecyclerView

I have a RecyclerView in which I have an ImageView for each item in the form of sendEmail icon. Initially, the ImageView is visible but once I click on it, I hide it using setVisibility(View.GONE) and update the Adapter.
Now, when I click on the sendEmail icon, I hide the icon in that position instantly using reportitems.get(position).setStatus("emailsent");. Now, if, before the search operation, the second item had the ImageView visible and first item did not, then after search if the second item were to be the only item that is relevant, then the ImageView does not show up there in the first position. I am using dynamic search where upon inputting a character, the adapter refreshes instantly and shows the updated RecyclerView. How can I fix this issue?
After search, even though SQ 322 should have the sendEmail icon, it does not show up
Activity code
mAdapter.setOnItemClickListener(new ReportAdapter.OnItemClickListener() {
public void onSendEmailClick(int position){
flightNumber=reportitems.get(position).getFlightNumber();
departureDate=reportitems.get(position).getDepartureDate();
FlightClosureStatus flightClosureStatus=new FlightClosureStatus(flightNumber,departureDate,"emailsent");
flightViewModel.updateFlightClosureStatus(flightClosureStatus);
reportitems.get(position).setStatus("emailsent");
mAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
}
}
Adapter Code
public class ReportAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<ReportAdapter.ReportViewHolder> {
private ArrayList<ReportItem> reportlist;
private OnItemClickListener mListener;
private Context mContext;
public ReportAdapter(ArrayList<ReportItem> reportlist, Context context) {
this.reportlist = reportlist;
this.mContext = context;
}
public interface OnItemClickListener {
void onSendEmailClick(int position);
}
public void setOnItemClickListener(OnItemClickListener listener) {
mListener = listener;
}
public static class ReportViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
public TextView departureDate;
public TextView flightNumber;
public ImageView emailView;
public ReportViewHolder(#NonNull View itemView, OnItemClickListener listener, Context context) {
super(itemView);
departureDate = itemView.findViewById(R.id.departureDaterecyclerview);
flightNumber = itemView.findViewById(R.id.flightnumberrecyclerview);
emailView = itemView.findViewById(R.id.sendemailIcon);
emailView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
if(listener != null) {
int position = getAdapterPosition();
if(position != RecyclerView.NO_POSITION) {
listener.onSendEmailClick(position);
}
}
}
});
}
}
#NonNull
#Override
public ReportViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(#NonNull ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
View v = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.report_listing_item, parent, false);
ReportViewHolder rvh= new ReportViewHolder(v,mListener,mContext);
return rvh;
}
#SuppressLint("ResourceAsColor")
#Override
public void onBindViewHolder(#NonNull ReportViewHolder holder, int position) {
ReportItem currentItem = reportlist.get(position);
//here i am setting the visibility of the imageview to gone
if(currentItem.getStatus().contentEquals("emailsent")){
holder.emailView.setVisibility(View.GONE);
}
holder.flightNumber.setText(currentItem.getFlightNumber());
holder.departureDate.setText((currentItem.getDepartureDate()));
}
public List<ReportItem> getList() {
return reportlist;
}
}

Replace your onBindViewHolder with below, basically recycler uses items from pool when available, and once the item visibility is GONE and it is never set to VISIBLE again unless you do it
#SuppressLint("ResourceAsColor")
#Override
public void onBindViewHolder(#NonNull ReportViewHolder holder, int position) {
ReportItem currentItem = reportlist.get(position);
//here i am setting the visibility of the imageview to gone
if(currentItem.getStatus().contentEquals("emailsent")){
holder.emailView.setVisibility(View.GONE);
}else{
holder.emailView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
}
holder.flightNumber.setText(currentItem.getFlightNumber());
holder.departureDate.setText((currentItem.getDepartureDate()));
}

How to show an onClick message when clicking on an item of my RecyclerView list?

I am actually working on a group project and I want to develop a functionnality for our application. My goal is to have a list of several items with their images and when I click on an Item of that list I want to have a text pop in the midle of the screen related to that particular item. I'm afraid I might be using the wrong technical Tools to do so. I am actually using a csv file for the list details, an adapter and a viewHolder for the list. Since I have no idea on what is wrong and what to do I link a big part of my code so you can check how I did until now. I can also give you my xml files if you need to check them out, a really big thanks in advance to all the answers and time spent on my problem
I already managed to have my list of items with the title and the picture (text from csv file) of each list item but I'm stuck on how to show a specific text for each ViewHolder.
this is my Adapter
public class Adapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<ViewHolder> {
List<Departement> list;
Activity activity;
public Adapter(List<Departement> list, Activity activity) {
this.list = list;
this.activity = activity;
}
#Override
public ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup viewGroup, int itemType) {
View view = LayoutInflater.from(viewGroup.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.departement,viewGroup,false);
return new ViewHolder(view);
}
#Override
public void onBindViewHolder(ViewHolder viewHolder, int position) {
Departement departement = list.get(position);
viewHolder.bind(departement, activity);
}
#Override
public int getItemCount() {
return list.size();
}
}
my ViewHolder
public class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
private TextView textViewView;
private ImageView imageView;
public ViewHolder(View itemView) {
super(itemView);
textViewView = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.text);
imageView = (ImageView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.image);
}
public void bind(Departement departement, Activity activity){
textViewView.setText(departement.getText());
String uri = departement.getImageUrl();
int imageResource = activity.getResources().getIdentifier(uri, null, activity.getPackageName());
Drawable res = activity.getResources().getDrawable(imageResource);
imageView.setImageDrawable(res);
}
}
each item of the list is a Departement
public class Departement {
private String text;
private String imageUrl;
public Departement(String text, String imageUrl) {
this.text = text;
this.imageUrl = imageUrl;
}
public String getText() {
return text;
}
public String getImageUrl() {
return imageUrl;
}
public void setText(String text) {
this.text = text;
}
public void setImageUrl(String imageUrl) {
this.imageUrl = imageUrl;
}
}
and finally my fragment
public class FragmentEspecesProches extends Fragment {
public final static char SEPARATOR=',';
private RecyclerView recyclerView;
private List<Departement> departementsList = new ArrayList<>();
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_especes_proches, container, false);
ajouterDepartements();
recyclerView = (RecyclerView) view.findViewById(R.id.recyclerView);
recyclerView.setLayoutManager(new GridLayoutManager(this,2));
recyclerView.setAdapter(new Adapter(departementsList, getActivity()));
return view;
}
private void ajouterDepartements() {
ArrayList<String> lines = new ArrayList<>();
ArrayList<String[]> data = new ArrayList<>();
String sep = new Character(SEPARATOR).toString();
lines = UtilitaireResultat.readFile(getActivity().getResources().openRawResource(R.raw.departement));
for(String line : lines){
String[] oneData = line.split(sep);
data.add(oneData);
}
for(int i=0 ; i<data.size() ; i++){
String[] tabStr = data.get(i);
departementsList.add( new Departement( tabStr[2]+" - "+tabStr[3] ,"#drawable/"+tabStr[5] ));
}
}
}

you can implement item click listener like this
public class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder implements View.OnClickListener {
public TextView tvName;
public TextView tvHometown;
private Context context;
public ViewHolder(Context context, View itemView) {
super(itemView);
this.tvName = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.tvName);
this.tvHometown = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.tvHometown);
// Store the context
this.context = context;
// Attach a click listener to the entire row view
itemView.setOnClickListener(this);
}
// Handles the row being being clicked
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
int position = getAdapterPosition(); // gets item position
// if (position != RecyclerView.NO_POSITION) { // Check if an item was deleted, but the user clicked it before the UI removed it
User user = users.get(position);
// We can access the data within the views
Toast.makeText(context, tvName.getText(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
// }
}
}

Use onBindViewHolder to handle any interaction on your list items
#Override
public void onBindViewHolder(ViewHolder viewHolder, int position) {
Departement departement = list.get(position);
viewHolder.bind(departement, activity);
viewHolder.itemView.setOnClickListener(//your action//);
}
ItemView is the whole item; you can access your textviews or imageviews as you use it on your bind method,
You can use your bind method to apply listeners.

Handle on click of the item inside your ViewHolder constructor
like ,
public ViewHolder(View itemView) {
super(itemView);
textViewView = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.text);
imageView = (ImageView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.image);
itemView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
int position=getAdapterPosition();
Toast.makeText(context, list.get(position).getText(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
});
}

Create your onClickListner interface as
interface RecylerViewItemClickListner
{
void onItemClick(Department item)
}
set the listner in Adapter class
private final RecylerViewItemClickListner mOnClickListener;
public Adapter(List<Departement> list, Activity activity) {
this.list = list;
this.activity = activity;
this.mOnClickListener = activity;
}
Now in ViewHolder class
public void bind(final Departement item, final mOnClickListener listener) {
itemView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override public void onClick(View v) {
mOnClickListener.onItemClick(item);
}
});
}
and change onBindViewHolder as below
#Override
public void onBindViewHolder(ViewHolder holder, int position) {
holder.bind(items.get(position), mOnClickListener);
}
Override onItemClick(Department item) in activity
#override
onItemClick(Department item)
{
//show toast here...
}

implement OnClickListener in your ViewHolder class
public class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder implements
View.OnClickListener
{
#Override
public void onClick(View v)
{
//do action
}
}

Implement below method in your ViewHolder class.
itemView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
final User currentItem = users.get(getAdapterPosition());
Toast.makeText(mContext,currentItem.getText()+" is selected!",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
});

Using multiple RecyclerView with one Adapter class

I have 3 RecyclerView to display most visited market, close by markets and favorite markets.
I have created 3 difference instance of MarketAdapter class for the three RecyclerView
Everything works fine, but my Activity implements one OnClickListener and I cant figure out which adapter was clicked. Is it possible to programmatically determine the Adapter that was clicked from the OnClickListener?
Here is my MarketAdapter Class
public class MarketAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<MarketAdapter.ViewHolder> {
ArrayList<Markets> mMarket = new ArrayList<>();
Context mContext;
private final MarketsItemsClickListener mItemsClickListener;
private final MarketLongClickListener mLongClickListener;
private final MarketClickListener mClickListener;
public MarketAdapter(Context context, MarketsItemsClickListener itemsClickListener, MarketClickListener clickListener, MarketLongClickListener longClickListener){
mContext = context;
mItemsClickListener = itemsClickListener;
mLongClickListener = longClickListener;
mClickListener = clickListener;
}
public interface MarketLongClickListener{
void onLongClick(int position);
}
public interface MarketClickListener{
void onClick(int position);
}
public interface MarketsItemsClickListener{
void imageViewOnClickListener(View view, int position);
}
#NonNull
#Override
public ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(#NonNull ViewGroup viewGroup, int i) {
Context context = viewGroup.getContext();
int layoutForListItem = R.layout.list_market;
LayoutInflater inflater = LayoutInflater.from(context);
boolean shouldAttachToParentImmediately = false;
View view = inflater.inflate(layoutForListItem, viewGroup, shouldAttachToParentImmediately);
return new ViewHolder(view);
}
#Override
public void onBindViewHolder(#NonNull ViewHolder viewHolder, int i) {
viewHolder.bindView(i);
}
#Override
public int getItemCount() {
if(mMarket != null) return mMarket.size();
return 0;
}
public void setData(ArrayList<Markets> markets){
mMarket = markets;
notifyDataSetChanged();
}
public void addData(Markets market, int position){
mMarket.add(0, market);
notifyDataSetChanged();
}
public Markets getItem(int position){return mMarket.get(position);}
class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder implements View.OnLongClickListener, View.OnClickListener{
ImageView mImageView;
TextView mNameTextView, mCityTextView;
public ViewHolder(#NonNull View itemView) {
super(itemView);
mImageView = itemView.findViewById(R.id.image_view);
mNameTextView = itemView.findViewById(R.id.name_text_view);
mCityTextView = itemView.findViewById(R.id.city_text_view);
itemView.setOnLongClickListener(this);
itemView.setOnClickListener(this);
}
void bindView(int position){
Markets market = getItem(position);
mCityTextView.setText(market.getCity());
mNameTextView.setText(market.getName());
}
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
//Get position of Adapter
int position = getAdapterPosition();
//Handle the click
mClickListener.onClick(position);
}
#Override
public boolean onLongClick(View v) {
return false;
}
}
}
and OnClickListener from Activity
#Override
public void onClick(int position) {}

You can pass a tag in the constructor and get that tag back via a click listener to identify the click as
private final MarketsItemsClickListener mItemsClickListener;
private final MarketLongClickListener mLongClickListener;
private final MarketClickListener mClickListener;
private final String mTag;
public MarketAdapter(Context context, MarketsItemsClickListener itemsClickListener, MarketClickListener clickListener, MarketLongClickListener longClickListener, String tag){
mTag = tag
mContext = context;
mItemsClickListener = itemsClickListener;
mLongClickListener = longClickListener;
mClickListener = clickListener;
}
Modify the listener as
public interface MarketClickListener{
void onClick(int position, String tag);
}
and the listener code in activity as
#Override
public void onClick(int position, String tag) {
switch(tag){
case "adapter1":
break;
case "adapter2":
break;
case "adapter3":
break;
}
}
and create adapter object as
MarketAdapter adapter = new MarketAdapter("adapter1"....);
MarketAdapter adapter1 = new MarketAdapter("adapter2"....);
MarketAdapter adapter2 = new MarketAdapter("adapter3"....);
and use
mClickListener.onClick(position, mTag);
Note: You can use enums as well

You can add a attribute inside MarketAdapter so that you can tell what instance is that adapter.
Change your custom click listener to receive the adapter type:
public interface MarketClickListener {
//You can change this to receive any data you want from the adapter
void onClick(int position, int adapterType);
}
Add the constants, the identifier attribute and change the listener in your adatper:
public class MarketAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<MarketAdapter.ViewHolder> {
//The constants types
public static int MOST_VISITED_MARKETS = 1;
public static int CLOSE_BY_MARKETS = 2;
public static int FAVORITE_MARKETS = 3;
//New attribute
private int adapterType;
...
//Keep the listener
private final MarketClickListener mClickListener;
public MarketAdapter(Context context, MarketsItemsClickListener itemsClickListener, MarketClickListener clickListener, MarketLongClickListener longClickListener, int adapterType){
...
//Set the type
adapterType = adapterType;
}
...
}
In your activity:
mostVisitedRecyclerView.setAdapter(new MarketAdapter(this,itemsClickListener,clickListener,longClickListener,MarketAdapter.MOST_VISITED_MARKETS ));
closeByRecyclerView.setAdapter(new MarketAdapter(this,itemsClickListener,clickListener,longClickListener,MarketAdapter.CLOSE_BY_MARKETS));
favoritesRecyclerView.setAdapter(new MarketAdapter(this,itemsClickListener,clickListener,longClickListener,MarketAdapter.FAVORITE_MARKETS));
In your view holder, change the onClick:
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
//Get position of Adapter
int position = getAdapterPosition();
//Handle the click
mClickListener.onClick(position,adapterType);
}
I didn't test this but I think it will do the trick. Try it out.

If you want to do it this way, I would add a new variable to the adapters constructor, and then use a case/if statement to determine what you want to do in your onbindviewholder.

How to achieve this view

I created an app which displays all files from internal storage in gridview using recyclerviewadapter. But I am not sure how to display different icons for different file types. I want to achieve somewhat this kind of view. Like it has different icon for a folder, different for a pdf file, or an image. How can I achieve this ?
InternalStorage.java:
public class InternalStorage extends AppCompatActivity implements MyRecyclerViewAdapter.ItemClickListener {
MyRecyclerViewAdapter adapter;
private ArrayList<String> myList;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_internal_storage);
myList = new ArrayList<>();
String path= Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath();
File f = new File(path);//converted string object to file
File list[] = f.listFiles();//getting the list of files in string array
for( int i=0; i< list.length; i++) {
myList.add(list[i].getName());
}
// set up the RecyclerView
RecyclerView recyclerView = (RecyclerView) findViewById(R.id.rvNumbers);
int numberOfColumns = 4;
recyclerView.setLayoutManager(new GridLayoutManager(this, numberOfColumns));
adapter = new MyRecyclerViewAdapter(this, myList);
adapter.setClickListener(this);
recyclerView.setAdapter(adapter);
}
}
MyRecyclerViewAdapter.java:
public class MyRecyclerViewAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<MyRecyclerViewAdapter.ViewHolder> {
private ArrayList<String> mData;
private LayoutInflater mInflater;
private ItemClickListener mClickListener;
// data is passed into the constructor
public MyRecyclerViewAdapter(Context context, ArrayList<String> data) {
this.mInflater = LayoutInflater.from(context);
this.mData = data;
}
// inflates the cell layout from xml when needed
#Override
public ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
View view = mInflater.inflate(R.layout.recyclerview_item, parent, false);
return new ViewHolder(view);
}
// binds the data to the textview in each cell
#Override
public void onBindViewHolder(ViewHolder holder, int position) {
String animal = mData.get(position);
holder.myTextView.setText(animal);
}
// total number of cells
#Override
public int getItemCount() {
return mData.size();
}
// stores and recycles views as they are scrolled off screen
public class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder implements View.OnClickListener {
TextView myTextView;
ImageButton myImage;
ViewHolder(View itemView) {
super(itemView);
myTextView = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.info_text);
myImage = (ImageButton) itemView.findViewById(R.id.buttonimage);
itemView.setOnClickListener(this);
}
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
if (mClickListener != null) mClickListener.onItemClick(view, getAdapterPosition());
}
}
// convenience method for getting data at click position
public String getItem(int id) {
return mData.get(id);
}
// allows clicks events to be caught
public void setClickListener(ItemClickListener itemClickListener) {
this.mClickListener = itemClickListener;
}
// parent activity will implement this method to respond to click events
public interface ItemClickListener {
void onItemClick(View view, int position);
}
}

first of all you need to creat a model than allows you to diferentiate each animal from the others. You can do it with a model wich has a name and a imageUrl (an image url to each animal than you can set depending of the type of the animal). After that you must define a imageView who will have the new image (the one that will be inflatin with the image you bring from the url). To load the image i recomend to you to use Picasso, whihc is a library that makes easier to load any kind of imagen.
The code is somethin like this
public class MyRecyclerViewAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<MyRecyclerViewAdapter.ViewHolder> {
private ArrayList<Animal> mData;
private LayoutInflater mInflater;
private ItemClickListener mClickListener;
// data is passed into the constructor
public MyRecyclerViewAdapter(Context context, ArrayList<String> data) {
this.mInflater = LayoutInflater.from(context);
this.mData = data;
}
// inflates the cell layout from xml when needed
#Override
public ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
View view = mInflater.inflate(R.layout.recyclerview_item, parent, false);
return new ViewHolder(view);
}
// binds the data to the textview in each cell
#Override
public void onBindViewHolder(ViewHolder holder, int position) {
Animal animal = mData.get(position);
holder.myTextView.setText(animal);
Picasso.with(context).load(animal.imageUrl).into(holder.imageViewYouWantToChangue)
}
// total number of cells
#Override
public int getItemCount() {
return mData.size();
}
// stores and recycles views as they are scrolled off screen
public class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder implements View.OnClickListener {
TextView myTextView;
ImageButton myImage;
ViewHolder(View itemView) {
super(itemView);
myTextView = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.info_text);
myImage = (ImageButton) itemView.findViewById(R.id.buttonimage);
imageViewYouWantToChangue = (ImageView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.image_you_to_changue);
itemView.setOnClickListener(this);
}
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
if (mClickListener != null) mClickListener.onItemClick(view, getAdapterPosition());
}
}
// convenience method for getting data at click position
public String getItem(int id) {
return mData.get(id);
}
// allows clicks events to be caught
public void setClickListener(ItemClickListener itemClickListener) {
this.mClickListener = itemClickListener;
}
// parent activity will implement this method to respond to click events
public interface ItemClickListener {
void onItemClick(View view, int position);
}
}}
public class Animal{
String name;
String imageUrl;
public Animal(String name, String type) {
this.name = name;
this.imageUrl = imageUrl;
}
}

Why doesn't RecyclerView have onItemClickListener()?

I was exploring RecyclerView and I was surprised to see that RecyclerView does not have onItemClickListener().
I've two question.
Main Question
I want to know why Google removed onItemClickListener()?
Is there a performance issue or something else?
Secondary Question
I solved my problem by writing onClick in my RecyclerView.Adapter:
public static class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder implements OnClickListener {
public TextView txtViewTitle;
public ImageView imgViewIcon;
public ViewHolder(View itemLayoutView) {
super(itemLayoutView);
txtViewTitle = (TextView) itemLayoutView.findViewById(R.id.item_title);
imgViewIcon = (ImageView) itemLayoutView.findViewById(R.id.item_icon);
}
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
}
}
Is this ok / is there any better way?

tl;dr 2016 Use RxJava and a PublishSubject to expose an Observable for the clicks.
public class ReactiveAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<MyAdapter.ViewHolder> {
String[] mDataset = { "Data", "In", "Adapter" };
private final PublishSubject<String> onClickSubject = PublishSubject.create();
#Override
public void onBindViewHolder(final ViewHolder holder, int position) {
final String element = mDataset[position];
holder.itemView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
onClickSubject.onNext(element);
}
});
}
public Observable<String> getPositionClicks(){
return onClickSubject.asObservable();
}
}
Original Post:
Since the introduction of ListView, onItemClickListener has been problematic. The moment you have a click listener for any of the internal elements the callback would not be triggered but it wasn't notified or well documented (if at all) so there was a lot of confusion and SO questions about it.
Given that RecyclerView takes it a step further and doesn't have a concept of a row/column, but rather an arbitrarily laid out amount of children, they have delegated the onClick to each one of them, or to programmer implementation.
Think of Recyclerview not as a ListView 1:1 replacement but rather as a more flexible component for complex use cases. And as you say, your solution is what google expected of you. Now you have an adapter who can delegate onClick to an interface passed on the constructor, which is the correct pattern for both ListView and Recyclerview.
public static class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder implements OnClickListener {
public TextView txtViewTitle;
public ImageView imgViewIcon;
public IMyViewHolderClicks mListener;
public ViewHolder(View itemLayoutView, IMyViewHolderClicks listener) {
super(itemLayoutView);
mListener = listener;
txtViewTitle = (TextView) itemLayoutView.findViewById(R.id.item_title);
imgViewIcon = (ImageView) itemLayoutView.findViewById(R.id.item_icon);
imgViewIcon.setOnClickListener(this);
itemLayoutView.setOnClickListener(this);
}
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
if (v instanceof ImageView){
mListener.onTomato((ImageView)v);
} else {
mListener.onPotato(v);
}
}
public static interface IMyViewHolderClicks {
public void onPotato(View caller);
public void onTomato(ImageView callerImage);
}
}
and then on your adapter
public class MyAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<MyAdapter.ViewHolder> {
String[] mDataset = { "Data" };
#Override
public MyAdapter.ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
View v = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.my_layout, parent, false);
MyAdapter.ViewHolder vh = new ViewHolder(v, new MyAdapter.ViewHolder.IMyViewHolderClicks() {
public void onPotato(View caller) { Log.d("VEGETABLES", "Poh-tah-tos"); };
public void onTomato(ImageView callerImage) { Log.d("VEGETABLES", "To-m8-tohs"); }
});
return vh;
}
// Replace the contents of a view (invoked by the layout manager)
#Override
public void onBindViewHolder(ViewHolder holder, int position) {
// Get element from your dataset at this position
// Replace the contents of the view with that element
// Clear the ones that won't be used
holder.txtViewTitle.setText(mDataset[position]);
}
// Return the size of your dataset (invoked by the layout manager)
#Override
public int getItemCount() {
return mDataset.length;
}
...
Now look into that last piece of code: onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) the signature already suggest different view types. For each one of them you'll require a different viewholder too, and subsequently each one of them can have a different set of clicks. Or you can just create a generic viewholder that takes any view and one onClickListener and applies accordingly. Or delegate up one level to the orchestrator so several fragments/activities have the same list with different click behaviour. Again, all flexibility is on your side.
It is a really needed component and fairly close to what our internal implementations and improvements to ListView were until now. It's good that Google finally acknowledges it.

Why the RecyclerView has no onItemClickListener
The RecyclerView is a toolbox, in contrast of the old ListView it has less build in features and more flexibility. The onItemClickListener is not the only feature being removed from ListView. But it has lot of listeners and method to extend it to your liking, it's far more powerful in the right hands ;).
In my opinion the most complex feature removed in RecyclerView is the Fast Scroll. Most of the other features can be easily re-implemented.
If you want to know what other cool features RecyclerView added read this answer to another question.
Memory efficient - drop-in solution for onItemClickListener
This solution has been proposed by Hugo Visser, an Android GDE, right after RecyclerView was released. He made a licence-free class available for you to just drop in your code and use it.
It showcase some of the versatility introduced with RecyclerView by making use of RecyclerView.OnChildAttachStateChangeListener.
Edit 2019: kotlin version by me, java one, from Hugo Visser, kept below
Kotlin / Java
Create a file values/ids.xml and put this in it:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<item name="item_click_support" type="id" />
</resources>
then add the code below to your source
Kotlin
Usage:
recyclerView.onItemClick { recyclerView, position, v ->
// do it
}
(it also support long item click and see below for another feature I've added).
implementation (my adaptation to Hugo Visser Java code):
typealias OnRecyclerViewItemClickListener = (recyclerView: RecyclerView, position: Int, v: View) -> Unit
typealias OnRecyclerViewItemLongClickListener = (recyclerView: RecyclerView, position: Int, v: View) -> Boolean
class ItemClickSupport private constructor(private val recyclerView: RecyclerView) {
private var onItemClickListener: OnRecyclerViewItemClickListener? = null
private var onItemLongClickListener: OnRecyclerViewItemLongClickListener? = null
private val attachListener: RecyclerView.OnChildAttachStateChangeListener = object : RecyclerView.OnChildAttachStateChangeListener {
override fun onChildViewAttachedToWindow(view: View) {
// every time a new child view is attached add click listeners to it
val holder = this#ItemClickSupport.recyclerView.getChildViewHolder(view)
.takeIf { it is ItemClickSupportViewHolder } as? ItemClickSupportViewHolder
if (onItemClickListener != null && holder?.isClickable != false) {
view.setOnClickListener(onClickListener)
}
if (onItemLongClickListener != null && holder?.isLongClickable != false) {
view.setOnLongClickListener(onLongClickListener)
}
}
override fun onChildViewDetachedFromWindow(view: View) {
}
}
init {
// the ID must be declared in XML, used to avoid
// replacing the ItemClickSupport without removing

addItemClickSupport { onItemClick(onClick) }
}
fun RecyclerView.onItemLongClick(onLongClick: OnRecyclerViewItemLongClickListener) {
addItemClickSupport { onItemLongClick(onLongClick) }
}
(Remember you also need to add an XML file, see above this section)
Bonus feature of Kotlin version
Sometimes you do not want all the items of the RecyclerView to be clickable.
To handle this I've introduced the ItemClickSupportViewHolder interface that you can use on your ViewHolder to control which item is clickable.
Example:
class MyViewHolder(view): RecyclerView.ViewHolder(view), ItemClickSupportViewHolder {
override val isClickable: Boolean get() = false
override val isLongClickable: Boolean get() = false
}
Java
Usage:
ItemClickSupport.addTo(mRecyclerView)
.setOnItemClickListener(new ItemClickSupport.OnItemClickListener() {
#Override
public void onItemClicked(RecyclerView recyclerView, int position, View v) {
// do it
}
});
(it also support long item click)
Implementation (comments added by me):
public class ItemClickSupport {
private final RecyclerView mRecyclerView;
private OnItemClickListener mOnItemClickListener;
private OnItemLongClickListener mOnItemLongClickListener;
private View.OnClickListener mOnClickListener = new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
if (mOnItemClickListener != null) {
// ask the RecyclerView for the viewHolder of this view.
// then use it to get the position for the adapter
RecyclerView.ViewHolder holder = mRecyclerView.getChildViewHolder(v);
mOnItemClickListener.onItemClicked(mRecyclerView, holder.getAdapterPosition(), v);
}
}
};
private View.OnLongClickListener mOnLongClickListener = new View.OnLongClickListener() {
#Override
public boolean onLongClick(View v) {
if (mOnItemLongClickListener != null) {
RecyclerView.ViewHolder holder = mRecyclerView.getChildViewHolder(v);
return mOnItemLongClickListener.onItemLongClicked(mRecyclerView, holder.getAdapterPosition(), v);
}
return false;
}
};
private RecyclerView.OnChildAttachStateChangeListener mAttachListener
= new RecyclerView.OnChildAttachStateChangeListener() {
#Override
public void onChildViewAttachedToWindow(View view) {
// every time a new child view is attached add click listeners to it
if (mOnItemClickListener != null) {
view.setOnClickListener(mOnClickListener);
}
if (mOnItemLongClickListener != null) {
view.setOnLongClickListener(mOnLongClickListener);
}
}
#Override
public void onChildViewDetachedFromWindow(View view) {
}
};
private ItemClickSupport(RecyclerView recyclerView) {
mRecyclerView = recyclerView;
// the ID must be declared in XML, used to avoid
// replacing the ItemClickSupport without removing
// the old one from the RecyclerView
mRecyclerView.setTag(R.id.item_click_support, this);
mRecyclerView.addOnChildAttachStateChangeListener(mAttachListener);
}
public static ItemClickSupport addTo(RecyclerView view) {
// if there's already an ItemClickSupport attached
// to this RecyclerView do not replace it, use it
ItemClickSupport support = (ItemClickSupport) view.getTag(R.id.item_click_support);
if (support == null) {
support = new ItemClickSupport(view);
}
return support;
}
public static ItemClickSupport removeFrom(RecyclerView view) {
ItemClickSupport support = (ItemClickSupport) view.getTag(R.id.item_click_support);
if (support != null) {
support.detach(view);
}
return support;
}
public ItemClickSupport setOnItemClickListener(OnItemClickListener listener) {
mOnItemClickListener = listener;
return this;
}
public ItemClickSupport setOnItemLongClickListener(OnItemLongClickListener listener) {
mOnItemLongClickListener = listener;
return this;
}
private void detach(RecyclerView view) {
view.removeOnChildAttachStateChangeListener(mAttachListener);
view.setTag(R.id.item_click_support, null);
}
public interface OnItemClickListener {
void onItemClicked(RecyclerView recyclerView, int position, View v);
}
public interface OnItemLongClickListener {
boolean onItemLongClicked(RecyclerView recyclerView, int position, View v);
}
}
How it works (why it's efficient)
This class works by attaching a RecyclerView.OnChildAttachStateChangeListener to the RecyclerView. This listener is notified every time a child is attached or detached from the RecyclerView. The code use this to append a tap/long click listener to the view. That listener ask the RecyclerView for the RecyclerView.ViewHolder which contains the position.
This is more efficient then other solutions because it avoid creating multiple listeners for each view and keep destroying and creating them while the RecyclerView is being scrolled.
You could also adapt the code to give you back the holder itself if you need more.
Final remark
Keep in mind that it's COMPLETELY fine to handle it in your adapter by setting on each view of your list a click listener, like other answer proposed.
It's just not the most efficient thing to do (you create a new listener every time you reuse a view) but it works and in most cases it's not an issue.
It is also a bit against separation of concerns cause it's not really the Job of the Adapter to delegate click events.

I like this way and I'm using it
Inside
public Adapter.ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType)
Put
View v = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.view_image_and_text, parent, false);
v.setOnClickListener(new MyOnClickListener());
And create this class anywhere you want it
class MyOnClickListener implements View.OnClickListener {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
int itemPosition = recyclerView.indexOfChild(v);
Log.e("Clicked and Position is ",String.valueOf(itemPosition));
}
}
I've read before that there is a better way but I like this way is easy and not complicated.

Android Recyclerview With onItemClickListener,
Why we cant try this is working like ListView only.
Source : Link
public class RecyclerItemClickListener implements RecyclerView.OnItemTouchListener {
private OnItemClickListener mListener;
public interface OnItemClickListener {
public void onItemClick(View view, int position);
}
GestureDetector mGestureDetector;
public RecyclerItemClickListener(Context context, OnItemClickListener listener) {
mListener = listener;
mGestureDetector = new GestureDetector(context, new GestureDetector.SimpleOnGestureListener() {
#Override
public boolean onSingleTapUp(MotionEvent e) {
return true;
}
});
}
#Override
public boolean onInterceptTouchEvent(RecyclerView view, MotionEvent e) {
View childView = view.findChildViewUnder(e.getX(), e.getY());
if (childView != null && mListener != null && mGestureDetector.onTouchEvent(e)) {
mListener.onItemClick(childView, view.getChildAdapterPosition(childView));
}
return false;
}
#Override
public void onTouchEvent(RecyclerView view, MotionEvent motionEvent) {
}
#Override
public void onRequestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(boolean disallowIntercept) {
}
}
And Set this to RecyclerView:
recyclerView = (RecyclerView)rootView. findViewById(R.id.recyclerView);
RecyclerView.LayoutManager mLayoutManager = new LinearLayoutManager(getActivity());
recyclerView.setLayoutManager(mLayoutManager);
recyclerView.addOnItemTouchListener(
new RecyclerItemClickListener(getActivity(), new RecyclerItemClickListener.OnItemClickListener() {
#Override
public void onItemClick(View view, int position) {
// TODO Handle item click
Log.e("#####",""+position);
}
})
);

Thanks to #marmor, I updated my answer.
I think it's a good solution to handle the onClick() in the ViewHolder class constructor and pass it to the parent class via OnItemClickListener interface.
MyAdapter.java
public class MyAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<MyAdapter.ViewHolder>{
private LayoutInflater layoutInflater;
private List<MyObject> items;
private AdapterView.OnItemClickListener onItemClickListener;
public MyAdapter(Context context, AdapterView.OnItemClickListener onItemClickListener, List<MyObject> items) {
layoutInflater = LayoutInflater.from(context);
this.items = items;
this.onItemClickListener = onItemClickListener;
}
#Override
public ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
View view = layoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.my_row_layout, parent, false);
return new ViewHolder(view);
}
#Override
public void onBindViewHolder(ViewHolder holder, int position) {
MyObject item = items.get(position);
}
public MyObject getItem(int position) {
return items.get(position);
}
class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder implements View.OnClickListener {
private TextView title;
private ImageView avatar;
public ViewHolder(View itemView) {
super(itemView);
title = itemView.findViewById(R.id.title);
avatar = itemView.findViewById(R.id.avatar);
title.setOnClickListener(this);
avatar.setOnClickListener(this);
itemView.setOnClickListener(this);
}
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
//passing the clicked position to the parent class
onItemClickListener.onItemClick(null, view, getAdapterPosition(), view.getId());
}
}
}
Usage of adapter in other classes:
MyFragment.java
public class MyFragment extends Fragment implements AdapterView.OnItemClickListener {
private RecyclerView recycleview;
private MyAdapter adapter;
.
.
.
private void init(Context context) {
//passing this fragment as OnItemClickListener to the adapter
adapter = new MyAdapter(context, this, items);
recycleview.setAdapter(adapter);
}
#Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
//you can get the clicked item from the adapter using its position
MyObject item = adapter.getItem(position);
//you can also find out which view was clicked
switch (view.getId()) {
case R.id.title:
//title view was clicked
break;
case R.id.avatar:
//avatar view was clicked
break;
default:
//the whole row was clicked
}
}
}

> How RecyclerView is different from Listview?
One difference is that there is LayoutManager class with RecyclerView by which you can manage your RecyclerView like-
Horizontal or Vertical scrolling by LinearLayoutManager
GridLayout by GridLayoutManager
Staggered GridLayout by StaggeredGridLayoutManager
Like for horizontal scrolling for RecyclerView-
LinearLayoutManager llm = new LinearLayoutManager(context);
llm.setOrientation(LinearLayoutManager.HORIZONTAL);
recyclerView.setLayoutManager(llm);

Guys use this code in Your main activity. Very Efficient Method
RecyclerView recyclerView = (RecyclerView) findViewById(R.id.users_list);
UsersAdapter adapter = new UsersAdapter(users, this);
recyclerView.setAdapter(adapter);
adapter.setOnCardClickListner(this);
Here is your Adapter class.
public class UsersAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<UsersAdapter.UserViewHolder> {
private ArrayList<User> mDataSet;
OnCardClickListner onCardClickListner;
public UsersAdapter(ArrayList<User> mDataSet) {
this.mDataSet = mDataSet;
}
#Override
public UserViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
View v = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.user_row_layout, parent, false);
UserViewHolder userViewHolder = new UserViewHolder(v);
return userViewHolder;
}
#Override
public void onBindViewHolder(UserViewHolder holder, final int position) {
holder.name_entry.setText(mDataSet.get(position).getUser_name());
holder.cardView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
onCardClickListner.OnCardClicked(v, position);
}
});
}
#Override
public int getItemCount() {
return mDataSet.size();
}
#Override
public void onAttachedToRecyclerView(RecyclerView recyclerView) {
super.onAttachedToRecyclerView(recyclerView);
}
public static class UserViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
CardView cardView;
TextView name_entry;
public UserViewHolder(View itemView) {
super(itemView);
cardView = (CardView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.user_layout);
name_entry = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.name_entry);
}
}
public interface OnCardClickListner {
void OnCardClicked(View view, int position);
}
public void setOnCardClickListner(OnCardClickListner onCardClickListner) {
this.onCardClickListner = onCardClickListner;
}
}
After this you will get this override method in your activity.
#Override
public void OnCardClicked(View view, int position) {
Log.d("OnClick", "Card Position" + position);
}

Following up MLProgrammer-CiM's excellent RxJava solution
Consume / Observe clicks
Consumer<String> mClickConsumer = new Consumer<String>() {
#Override
public void accept(#NonNull String element) throws Exception {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), element +" was clicked", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
};
ReactiveAdapter rxAdapter = new ReactiveAdapter();
rxAdapter.getPositionClicks().subscribe(mClickConsumer);
RxJava 2.+
Modify the original tl;dr as:
public Observable<String> getPositionClicks(){
return onClickSubject;
}
PublishSubject#asObservable() was removed. Just return the PublishSubject which is an Observable.

RecyclerView doesn't have an onItemClickListener because RecyclerView is responsible for recycling views (surprise!), so it's the responsibility of the view that is recycled to handle the click events it receives.
This actually makes it much easier to use, especially if you had items that can be clicked in multiple places.
Anyways, detecting click on a RecyclerView item is very easy. All you need to do is define an interface (if you're not using Kotlin, in which case you just pass in a lambda):
public class MyAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<MyViewHolder> {
private final Clicks clicks;
public MyAdapter(Clicks clicks) {
this.clicks = clicks;
}
private List<MyObject> items = Collections.emptyList();
public void updateData(List<MyObject> items) {
this.items = items;
notifyDataSetChanged(); // TODO: use ListAdapter for diffing instead if you need animations
}
public interface Clicks {
void onItemSelected(MyObject myObject, int position);
}
public class MyViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
private MyObject myObject;
public MyViewHolder(View view) {
super(view);
// bind views
view.setOnClickListener((v) -> {
int adapterPosition = getBindingAdapterPosition();
if(adapterPosition >= 0) {
clicks.onItemSelected(myObject, adapterPosition);
}
});
}
public void bind(MyObject myObject) {
this.myObject = myObject;
// bind data to views
}
}
}
Same code in Kotlin:
class MyAdapter(val itemClicks: (MyObject, Int) -> Unit): RecyclerView.Adapter<MyViewHolder>() {
private var items: List<MyObject> = Collections.emptyList()
fun updateData(items: List<MyObject>) {
this.items = items
notifyDataSetChanged() // TODO: use ListAdapter for diffing instead if you need animations
}
inner class MyViewHolder(val myView: View): RecyclerView.ViewHolder(myView) {
private lateinit var myObject: MyObject
init {
// binds views
myView.onClick {
val adapterPosition = getBindingAdapterPosition()
if(adapterPosition >= 0) {
itemClicks.invoke(myObject, adapterPosition)
}
}
}
fun bind(myObject: MyObject) {
this.myObject = myObject
// bind data to views
}
}
}
Thing you DON'T need to do:
1.) you don't need to intercept touch events manually
2.) you don't need to mess around with child attach state change listeners
3.) you don't need PublishSubject/PublishRelay from RxJava
Just use a click listener.

As far as I understand MLProgrammer-CiM answer, simply it's possible to just do this:
class MyViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder implements View.OnClickListener{
private ImageView image;
private TextView title;
private TextView price;
public MyViewHolder(View itemView) {
super(itemView);
image = (ImageView)itemView.findViewById(R.id.horizontal_list_image);
title = (TextView)itemView.findViewById(R.id.horizontal_list_title);
price = (TextView)itemView.findViewById(R.id.horizontal_list_price);
image.setOnClickListener(this);
title.setOnClickListener(this);
price.setOnClickListener(this);
}
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Toast.makeText(context, "Item click nr: "+getLayoutPosition(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}

After reading #MLProgrammer-CiM's answer, here is my code:
class NormalViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder implements View.OnClickListener{
#Bind(R.id.card_item_normal)
CardView cardView;
public NormalViewHolder(View itemView) {
super(itemView);
ButterKnife.bind(this, itemView);
cardView.setOnClickListener(this);
}
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
if(v instanceof CardView) {
// use getAdapterPosition() instead of getLayoutPosition()
int itemPosition = getAdapterPosition();
removeItem(itemPosition);
}
}
}

I have done this way, its very simple:
Just add 1 Line for Clicked RecyclerView position:
int position = getLayoutPosition()
Full code for ViewHolder class:
private class ChildViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
public ImageView imageView;
public TextView txtView;
public ChildViewHolder(View itemView) {
super(itemView);
imageView= (ImageView)itemView.findViewById(R.id.imageView);
txtView= (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.txtView);
itemView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
Log.i("RecyclerView Item Click Position", String.valueOf(getLayoutPosition()));
}
});
}
}
Hope this will help you.

I use this method to start an Intent from RecyclerView:
#Override
public void onBindViewHolder(ViewHolder viewHolder, int i) {
final MyClass myClass = mList.get(i);
viewHolder.txtViewTitle.setText(myclass.name);
...
viewHolder.itemView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v){
Intent detailIntent = new Intent(mContext, type.class);
detailIntent.putExtra("MyClass", myclass);
mContext.startActivity(detailIntent);
}
}
);

See my approach on this:
First declare an interface like this:
/**
* Interface used for delegating item click events in a {#link android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView}
* Created by Alex on 11/28/2015.
*/
public interface OnRecyclerItemClickListener<T> {
/**
* Called when a click occurred inside a recyclerView item view
* #param view that was clicked
* #param position of the clicked view
* #param item the concrete data that is displayed through the clicked view
*/
void onItemClick(View view, int position, T item);
}
Then create the adapter:
public class CustomRecyclerAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter {
private class InternalClickListener implements View.OnClickListener{
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
if(mRecyclerView != null && mItemClickListener != null){
// find the position of the item that was clicked
int position = mRecyclerView.getChildAdapterPosition(v);
Data data = getItem(position);
// notify the main listener
mItemClickListener.onItemClick(v, position, data);
}
}
}
private final OnRecyclerItemClickListener mItemClickListener;
private RecyclerView mRecyclerView;
private InternalClickListener mInternalClickListener;
/**
*
* #param itemClickListener used to trigger an item click event
*/
public PlayerListRecyclerAdapter(OnRecyclerItemClickListener itemClickListener){
mItemClickListener = itemClickListener;
mInternalClickListener = new InternalClickListener();
}
#Override
public RecyclerView.ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
View v = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.recycler_item, parent, false);
v.setOnClickListener(mInternalClickListener);
ViewHolder viewHolder = new ViewHolder(v);
return viewHolder;
}
#Override
public void onBindViewHolder(RecyclerView.ViewHolder holder, int position) {
// do your binding here
}
#Override
public int getItemCount() {
return mDataSet.size();
}
#Override
public void onAttachedToRecyclerView(RecyclerView recyclerView) {
super.onAttachedToRecyclerView(recyclerView);
mRecyclerView = recyclerView;
}
#Override
public void onDetachedFromRecyclerView(RecyclerView recyclerView) {
super.onDetachedFromRecyclerView(recyclerView);
mRecyclerView = null;
}
public Data getItem(int position){
return mDataset.get(position);
}
}
And now let's see how to integrate this from a fragment:
public class TestFragment extends Fragment implements OnRecyclerItemClickListener<Data>{
private RecyclerView mRecyclerView;
#Override
public void onItemClick(View view, int position, Data item) {
// do something
}
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
return inflater.inflate(R.layout.test_fragment, container, false);
}
#Override
public void onViewCreated(View view, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
mRecyclerView = view.findViewById(idOfTheRecycler);
mRecyclerView .setAdapter(new CustomRecyclerAdapter(this));
}

If you want to add onClick() to the child view of items, for example, a button in item, I found that you can do it easily in onCreateViewHolder() of your own RecyclerView.Adapter just like this:
#Override
public RecyclerView.ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
View v = LayoutInflater
.from(parent.getContext())
.inflate(R.layout.cell, null);
Button btn = (Button) v.findViewById(R.id.btn);
btn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
//do it
}
});
return new MyViewHolder(v);
}
i don't know whether it's a good way, but it works well. If anyone has a better idea, very glad to tell me and correct my answer! :)

Here is a way to implement it quite easily if you have a list of POJOs and want to retrieve one on click from outside the adapter.
In your adapter, create a listener for the click events and a method to set it:
public class MyAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<SitesListAdapter.ViewHolder> {
...
private List<MyPojo> mMyPojos;
private static OnItemClickListener mOnItemClickListener;
...
public interface OnItemClickListener {
public void onItemClick(MyPojo pojo);
}
...
public void setOnItemClickListener(OnItemClickListener onItemClickListener){
mOnItemClickListener = onItemClickListener;
}
...
}
In your ViewHolder, implement onClickListener and create a class member to temporarily store the POJO the view is presenting, that way (this is an example, creating a setter would be better):
public static class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder implements View.OnClickListener {
public MyPojo mCurrentPojo;
...
public ViewHolder(View view) {
super(v);
...
view.setOnClickListener(this); //You could set this on part of the layout too
}
...
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
if(mOnItemClickListener != null && mCurrentPojo != null){
mOnItemClickListener.onItemClick(mCurrentPojo);
}
}
Back in your adapter, set the current POJO when the ViewHolder is bound (or to null if the current view doesn't have one):
#Override
public void onBindViewHolder(final ViewHolder holder, final int position) {
final MyPojo currentPojo = mMyPojos.get(position);
holder.mCurrentPojo = currentPojo;
...
That's it, now you can use it like this from your fragment/activity:
mMyAdapter.setOnItemClickListener(new mMyAdapter.OnItemClickListener() {
#Override
public void onItemClick(MyPojo pojo) {
//Do whatever you want with your pojo here
}
});

Yes you can
public ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent,int viewType) {
//inflate the view
View view = LayoutInflator.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.layoutID,null);
ViewHolder holder = new ViewHolder(view);
//here we can set onClicklistener
view.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListeener(){
public void onClick(View v)
{
//action
}
});
return holder;

This worked for me:
#Override
public void onBindViewHolder(PlacesListViewAdapter.ViewHolder holder, int position) {
----
----
----
// Set setOnClickListener(holder);
}
#Override
public class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder implements View.OnClickListener {
----
----
----
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
// Use to get the item clicked getAdapterPosition()
}
}

Here you can handle multiple onclick see below code and it is very efficient
public class RVNewsAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<RVNewsAdapter.FeedHolder> {
private Context context;
List<News> newsList;
// Allows to remember the last item shown on screen
private int lastPosition = -1;
public RVNewsAdapter(List<News> newsList, Context context) {
this.newsList = newsList;
this.context = context;
}
public static class FeedHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder implements OnClickListener {
ImageView img_main;
TextView tv_title;
Button bt_facebook, bt_twitter, bt_share, bt_comment;
public FeedHolder(View itemView) {
super(itemView);
img_main = (ImageView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.img_main);
tv_title = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.tv_title);
bt_facebook = (Button) itemView.findViewById(R.id.bt_facebook);
bt_twitter = (Button) itemView.findViewById(R.id.bt_twitter);
bt_share = (Button) itemView.findViewById(R.id.bt_share);
bt_comment = (Button) itemView.findViewById(R.id.bt_comment);
img_main.setOnClickListener(this);
bt_facebook.setOnClickListener(this);
bt_twitter.setOnClickListener(this);
bt_comment.setOnClickListener(this);
bt_share.setOnClickListener(this);
}
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
if (v.getId() == bt_comment.getId()) {
Toast.makeText(v.getContext(), "Comment " , Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
} else if (v.getId() == bt_facebook.getId()) {
Toast.makeText(v.getContext(), "Facebook " , Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
} else if (v.getId() == bt_twitter.getId()) {
Toast.makeText(v.getContext(), "Twitter " , Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
} else if (v.getId() == bt_share.getId()) {
Toast.makeText(v.getContext(), "share " , Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
else {
Toast.makeText(v.getContext(), "ROW PRESSED = " + String.valueOf(getAdapterPosition()), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
}
#Override
public void onAttachedToRecyclerView(RecyclerView recyclerView) {
super.onAttachedToRecyclerView(recyclerView);
}
#Override
public FeedHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
View view = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.feed_row, parent, false);
FeedHolder feedHolder = new FeedHolder(view);
return feedHolder;
}
#Override
public void onBindViewHolder(FeedHolder holder, int position) {
holder.tv_title.setText(newsList.get(position).getTitle());
// Here you apply the animation when the view is bound
setAnimation(holder.img_main, position);
}
#Override
public int getItemCount() {
return newsList.size();
}
/**
* Here is the key method to apply the animation
*/
private void setAnimation(View viewToAnimate, int position) {
// If the bound view wasn't previously displayed on screen, it's animated
if (position > lastPosition) {
Animation animation = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(context, android.R.anim.slide_in_left);
viewToAnimate.startAnimation(animation);
lastPosition = position;
}
}
}

Modified my comment...
public class MyViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
private Context mContext;
public MyViewHolder(View itemView) {
super(itemView);
mContext = itemView.getContext();
itemView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
int itemPosition = getLayoutPosition();
Toast.makeText(mContext, "" + itemPosition, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
});
}

Check this one in which I have implemented all the things with a proper way
RecyclerViewHolder Class
public class RecyclerViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
//view holder is for girdview as we used in the listView
public ImageView imageView,imageView2;
public RecyclerViewHolder(View itemView) {
super(itemView);
this.imageView=(ImageView)itemView.findViewById(R.id.image);
}
}
Adapter
public class RecyclerView_Adapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<RecyclerViewHolder> {
//RecyclerView will extend to recayclerview Adapter
private ArrayList<ModelClass> arrayList;
private Context context;
private static RecyclerViewClickListener itemListener;
//constructor of the RecyclerView Adapter
RecyclerView_Adapter(Context context,ArrayList<ModelClass> arrayList,RecyclerViewClickListener itemListener){
this.context=context;
this.arrayList=arrayList;
this.itemListener=itemListener;
}
#Override
public RecyclerViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
//this method will inflate the custom layout and return as viewHolder
LayoutInflater layoutInflater=LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext());
ViewGroup mainGroup=(ViewGroup) layoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.single_item,parent,false);
RecyclerViewHolder listHolder=new RecyclerViewHolder(mainGroup);
return listHolder;
}
#Override
public void onBindViewHolder(RecyclerViewHolder holder, final int position) {
final ModelClass modelClass=arrayList.get(position);
//holder
RecyclerViewHolder mainHolder=(RecyclerViewHolder)holder;
//convert the drawable image into bitmap
Bitmap image= BitmapFactory.decodeResource(context.getResources(),modelClass.getImage());
//set the image into imageView
mainHolder.imageView.setImageBitmap(image);
//to handle on click event when clicked on the recyclerview item and
// get it through the RecyclerViewHolder class we have defined the views there
mainHolder.itemView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
//get the position of the image which is clicked
itemListener.recyclerViewListClicked(v,position);
}
});
}
#Override
public int getItemCount() {
return (null!=arrayList?arrayList.size():0);
}
}
The interface
public interface RecyclerViewClickListener {
//this is method to handle the event when clicked on the image in Recyclerview
public void recyclerViewListClicked(View v,int position);
}
//and to call this method in activity
RecyclerView_Adapter adapter=new RecyclerView_Adapter(Wallpaper.this,arrayList,this);
recyclerView.setAdapter(adapter);
adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
#Override
public void recyclerViewListClicked(View v,int position){
imageView.setImageResource(wallpaperImages[position]);
}

Access the mainView of rowLayout(cell) for you RecyclerView and in your OnBindViewHolder write this code:
#Override
public void onBindViewHolder(MyViewHolder holder, final int position) {
Movie movie = moviesList.get(position);
holder.mainView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
System.out.println("pos " + position);
}
});
}

it worked for me. Hope it will help. Most simplest way.
Inside View Holder
class GeneralViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
View cachedView = null;
public GeneralViewHolder(View itemView) {
super(itemView);
cachedView = itemView;
}
Inside OnBindViewHolder()
#Override
public void onBindViewHolder(RecyclerView.ViewHolder holder, final int position) {
final GeneralViewHolder generalViewHolder = (GeneralViewHolder) holder;
generalViewHolder.cachedView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Toast.makeText(context, "item Clicked at "+position, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
});
And let me know, do you have any question about this solution ?

main_recyclerview.addOnItemTouchListener(new RecyclerView.OnItemTouchListener() {
#Override
public boolean onInterceptTouchEvent(RecyclerView rv, MotionEvent e)
{
int position=rv.getChildAdapterPosition(rv.findChildViewUnder(e.getX(),e.getY()));
switch (position)
{
case 0:
{
wifi(position);
adapter2.notifyDataSetChanged();
}
break;
case 1:
{
sound(position);
adapter2.notifyDataSetChanged();
}
break;
case 2:
{
bluetooth(position);
adapter2.notifyDataSetChanged();
}
break;
}
return true;
}
#Override
public void onTouchEvent(RecyclerView rv, MotionEvent e)
{
}
#Override
public void onRequestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(boolean disallowIntercept) {
}
});

Instead of implementing interface View.OnClickListener inside view holder or creating and interface and implementing interface in your activity..
I used this code for simple on OnClickListener implementation.
public static class SimpleStringRecyclerViewAdapter
extends RecyclerView.Adapter<SimpleStringRecyclerViewAdapter.ViewHolder> {
// Your initializations goes here...
private List<String> mValues;
public static class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
//create a variable mView
public final View mView;
/*All your row widgets goes here
public final ImageView mImageView;
public final TextView mTextView;*/
public ViewHolder(View view) {
super(view);
//Initialize it here
mView = view;
/* your row widgets initializations goes here
mImageView = (ImageView) view.findViewById(R.id.avatar);
mTextView = (TextView) view.findViewById(android.R.id.text1);*/
}
}
public String getValueAt(int position) {
return mValues.get(position);
}
public SimpleStringRecyclerViewAdapter(Context context, List<String> items) {
mBackground = mTypedValue.resourceId;
mValues = items;
}
#Override
public ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
View view = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext())
.inflate(R.layout.list_item, parent, false);
view.setBackgroundResource(mBackground);
return new ViewHolder(view);
}
#Override
public void onBindViewHolder(final ViewHolder holder, int position) {
holder.mBoundString = mValues.get(position);
holder.mTextView.setText(mValues.get(position));
//Here it is simply write onItemClick listener here
holder.mView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Context context = v.getContext();
Intent intent = new Intent(context, ExampleActivity.class);
context.startActivity(intent);
}
});
}
#Override
public int getItemCount() {
return mValues.size();
}
}

use PlaceHolderView
#Layout(R.layout.item_view_1)
public class View1{
#View(R.id.txt)
public TextView txt;
#Resolve
public void onResolved() {
txt.setText(String.valueOf(System.currentTimeMillis() / 1000));
}
#Click(R.id.btn)
public void onClick(){
txt.setText(String.valueOf(System.currentTimeMillis() / 1000));
}
}

I wrote a library to handle android recycler view item click event. You can find whole tutorial in https://github.com/ChathuraHettiarachchi/RecycleClick
RecycleClick.addTo(YOUR_RECYCLEVIEW).setOnItemClickListener(new RecycleClick.OnItemClickListener() {
#Override
public void onItemClicked(RecyclerView recyclerView, int position, View v) {
// YOUR CODE
}
});
or to handle item long press you can use
RecycleClick.addTo(YOUR_RECYCLEVIEW).setOnItemLongClickListener(new RecycleClick.OnItemLongClickListener() {
#Override
public boolean onItemLongClicked(RecyclerView recyclerView, int position, View v) {
// YOUR CODE
return true;
}
});

recyclerview animation has not been tested, the other is normal. I think it has been optimized to the maximum. Interface has other uses, you can temporarily ignore.
public abstract class BaseAdapterRV<VH extends BaseViewHolder> extends RecyclerView.Adapter<VH> implements AdapterInterface {
public final String TAG = getClass().getSimpleName();
protected final Activity mActivity;
protected final LayoutInflater mInflater;
protected ItemClickInterface<?, Integer> mListener;
public BaseAdapterRV(Activity activity) {
mActivity = activity;
mInflater = LayoutInflater.from(mActivity);
}
#Override
public final VH onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
return onCreateViewHolder(parent, viewType, mInflater);
}
#Override
public final void onBindViewHolder(VH holder, int position) {
holder.itemView.setTag(R.id.tag_view_click, position);
//创建点击事件
holder.itemView.setOnClickListener(mListener);
holder.itemView.setOnLongClickListener(mListener);
onBindVH(holder, position);
}
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// 以下是增加的方法
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
/**
* 注意!涉及到notifyItemInserted刷新时立即获取position可能会不正确
* 里面也有onItemLongClick
*/
public void setOnItemClickListener(ItemClickInterface<?, Integer> listener) {
mListener = listener;
notifyDataSetChanged();
}
#NonNull
protected abstract VH onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType, LayoutInflater inflater);
protected abstract void onBindVH(VH holder, int position);
}
This is Interface
/**
* OnItemClickListener的接口
* 见子类实现{#link OnItemClickListener}{#link OnItemItemClickListener}
*/
public interface ItemClickInterface<DATA1, DATA2> extends View.OnClickListener, View.OnLongClickListener {
void onItemClick(DATA1 data1, DATA2 data2);
boolean onItemLongClick(DATA1 data1, DATA2 data2);
}
This is an abstract class
public abstract class OnItemClickListener<DATA> implements ItemClickInterface<View, DATA> {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
onItemClick(v, (DATA) v.getTag(R.id.tag_view_click));
}
#Override
public boolean onLongClick(View v) {
return onItemLongClick(v, (DATA) v.getTag(R.id.tag_view_click));
}
#Override
public boolean onItemLongClick(View view, DATA data) {
return false;
}
}
You only need it
mAdapter.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener<Integer>() {
#Override
public void onItemClick(View view, Integer integer) {
}
#Override
public boolean onItemLongClick(View view, Integer integer) {
return true;
}
});

I found one of the shortest ways using androidx lifecycle mutable live data
Adapter:
private val onItemClickListener = MutableLiveData<YourAdapterItem>()
override fun onBindViewHolder(holder: GifsViewHolder, position: Int) {
holder.itemView.setOnClickListener { onItemClickListener.value = gifs[position] }
}
fun getOnItemClickListener(): MutableLiveData<Gif> {
return onItemClickListener
}
anywhere in MainActivity
yourFancyAdapter.getOnItemClickListener().observe(this, Observer {
println(it)
})
