How to remove item from an ArrayList using a filtered RecyclerView and OnClickListener

Check updates below.
I am making an app for a stair climbing challenge that tracks the date and number of steps taken (user input, not automatic). I have an ArrayList that stored objects containing the following three variables:
String date
Int steps
Instant timeStamp
The app has two input buttons, one for integer step input, and one for date selection. There is a simple method created to filter the visible list by the selected date and a couple of visual indicators of your daily progress vs. the daily goal for flights of stairs for the day.

I am using the Instant variable as a timestamp to try to get around the issue of the OnClickListener selecting the position of the item from the filtered list instead of the corresponding item in the unfiltered list. I do this by using the position reported from the OnClickListener to fetch the timeStamp variable from the associated item in the filtered ArrayList, then compare that timeStamp to the items in the unfiltered ArrayList and fetch the indexOf the matching item.
All filtered ArrayLists show properly in the RecyclerView when you select a date.
The problem comes in removing items. If I add items only to one date, then you can remove and add items as you'd expect.

If I add to one date, then another, while they display properly, the items will be removed from the correct position but in the date you first added items, regardless of whether that is the currently selected date or not.

I feel like I'm missing something relatively simple here and my brain is just too saturated with this project to see it.

If anyone out there has any ideas, I'd love to hear from you!
UPDATE: The included code now reflects the changes suggested by users and is fully functional.

You should use
mAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
Instead of
mAdapter.notifyItemRemoved(position);

this.

I figured it out, for those interested. Comparing the timestamps was working fine, but I put it in the wrong part of the OnClickListener cycle. It needed to be placed in the MainActivity buildRecyclerView method in the setOnClickListener override. I've updated original code to reflect this change.
Thank you anyone that took the time to look at my post.

maybe it could be better to place the onClickListner in Your adpater-class..so You can control every single card if it should be clickable or not...or if You want to place any Ads between the cards

Android - Calendar data not being sent with putExtra()

What I have is a calendar widget which opens up when pressed and the user can select their dates from the calendar. I have variables to save the dates entered in inside the DateSetup class and I followed the code on using putExtra() to send the data from one class to another, but the values are not showing up.
The process of the application is when the dates have been selected, the user will then be able to select the times with the time picker widget which works.
After the dates and times have been selected, the values are sent to a MySQL database which the dates/times values should be shown. Only the selected times are showing but not the dates from the calendar selected.

I've been stuck on trying to solve this problem for days. It's probably something really simple I'm missing out but I can't figure it out.

The only data types that are OS-friendly are primitive types (int, long, float, boolean, etc...), so that means that putExtra() allows you to store primitives only. That's why you cant send a Calendar object.
Try to send a String of your period to your next activity.

SimpleDateFormat and wrong dates

I had already tried the first two suggestions below, but I tried again and sincerely thanks for the help! The result is the same though. I´ll just edit the post to add more code info.

Here´s the ToDoItem, that actually reads the info from AddToDoActivity:

};
public enum Status {

};
public final static String TITLE = "title";
public final static String PRIORITY = "priority";
public final static String STATUS = "status";
public final static String DATE = "date";
public final static String FILENAME = "filename";
public final static SimpleDateFormat FORMAT = new SimpleDateFormat(
"dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss", Locale.US);
private String mTitle = new String();
private Priority mPriority = Priority.LOW;
private Status mStatus = Status.NOTDONE;
private Date mDate = new Date();
ToDoItem(String title, Priority priority, Status status, Date date) {
this.mTitle = title;
this.mPriority = priority;
this.mStatus = status;
this.mDate = date;
}
// Create a new ToDoItem from data packaged in an Intent
ToDoItem(Intent intent) {
mTitle = intent.getStringExtra(ToDoItem.TITLE);
mPriority = Priority.valueOf(intent.getStringExtra(ToDoItem.PRIORITY));
mStatus = Status.valueOf(intent.getStringExtra(ToDoItem.STATUS));
try {
mDate = ToDoItem.FORMAT.parse(intent.getStringExtra(ToDoItem.DATE));
} catch (ParseException e) {
mDate = new Date();
}
}
public String getTitle() {
return mTitle;
}
public void setTitle(String title) {
mTitle = title;
}
public Priority getPriority() {
return mPriority;
}
public void setPriority(Priority priority) {
mPriority = priority;
}
public Status getStatus() {
return mStatus;
}
public void setStatus(Status status) {
mStatus = status;
}
public Date getDate() {
return mDate;
}
public void setDate(Date date) {
mDate = date;
}
// Take a set of String data values and
// package them for transport in an Intent
public static void packageIntent(Intent intent, String title,
Priority priority, Status status, String date) {
intent.putExtra(ToDoItem.TITLE, title);
intent.putExtra(ToDoItem.PRIORITY, priority.toString());
intent.putExtra(ToDoItem.STATUS, status.toString());
intent.putExtra(ToDoItem.DATE, date);
}
public String toString() {
return mTitle + ITEM_SEP + mPriority + ITEM_SEP + mStatus + ITEM_SEP
+ FORMAT.format(mDate);
}
public String toLog() {
return "Title:" + mTitle + ITEM_SEP + "Priority:" + mPriority
+ ITEM_SEP + "Status:" + mStatus + ITEM_SEP + "Date:"
+ FORMAT.format(mDate);
}
}
Oh well, after hours tweaking the
public final static SimpleDateFormat FORMAT = new SimpleDateFormat( "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss", Locale.US);
method from ToDoItem, I still cannot successfully convert yyyy-MM-dd to dd/MM/yyyy.
First, I´ve tried the obvious, and changed the expression yyyy-MM-dd to dd/MM/yyyy.
After that, all I got after saving the task was today´s date, even though the date inputted on AddToDoActivity is months or years ahead. If I revert back to yyyy-MM-dd, the date shown on the Task List is the same inputted on AddToDoActivity.
Then I tried to change all mentions of dates on every class to match the exact format that I wanted.
That made everything look good on AddToDoActivity, but again, when I transported the date back to ToDoItem, the app just ignored the previously inputted date and showed today´s date again.
Can anyone help me with this one??
Thanks!!

You are calling setDateString with arguments in the order of year, month, day:
setDateString(c.get(Calendar.YEAR), c.get(Calendar.MONTH),
c.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH));
But your method has parameters in the order of day, month, year:
private static void setDateString(int dayOfMonth, int monthOfYear, int year) {
...
}
I also think you made some errors while copying your code into the question, since the setDateString method is duplicated and there is no setTimeString method.

Change:
setDateString(c.get(Calendar.YEAR), c.get(Calendar.MONTH), c.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH));
to:
setDateString(c.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH), c.get(Calendar.MONTH), c.get(Calendar.YEAR));

Modify the code as follows in the ToDoListAdapter file getView method
// TODO - Display Time and Date.
// Hint - use ToDoItem.FORMAT.format(toDoItem.getDate()) to get date and time String
final TextView dateView = (TextView) itemLayout.findViewById(R.id.dateView);
dateView.setText(ToDoItem.FORMAT.format(toDoItem.getDate()));
The output will be something similar the the following

How to implement Android date picker in a fragment

I have implemented a date picker as following.
private void updateDisplay() {
String str_date = "";
if ((Month + 1) >= 10) {
if (Day < 10) {
str_date = Year + "-" + (Month + 1) + "-0" + Day;
} else {
str_date = Year + "-" + (Month + 1) + "-" + Day;
}
} else {
if (Day < 10) {
str_date = Year + "-0" + (Month + 1) + "-0" + Day;
} else {
str_date = Year + "-0" + (Month + 1) + "-" + Day;
}
}
date.setText("" + str_date);
}
protected void onPrepareDialog(int id, Dialog dialog) {
switch (id) {
case DATE_DIALOG_ID:
((DatePickerDialog) dialog).updateDate(Year, Month, Day);
break;
}
}
#Override
protected Dialog onCreateDialog(int id) {
switch (id) {
case DATE_DIALOG_ID:
return new DatePickerDialog(viewLoad.getContext(),
mDateSetListener, Year, Month, Day);
}
return null;
}
private DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener mDateSetListener = new DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener() {
public void onDateSet(DatePicker view, int year, int monthOfYear,
int dayOfMonth) {
Year = year;
Month = monthOfYear;
Day = dayOfMonth;
updateDisplay();
}
};
Here is my code segment for button.
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
switch (view.getId()) {
case R.id.btnDate:
showDialog(DATE_DIALOG_ID);
break;
This works fine. Now the problem is I need to implement a date picker in a fragment. Can anyone plz explain how to do it.
Edited Code
private DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener mDateSetListener = new DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener() {
public void onDateSet(DatePicker view, int year, int monthOfYear,
int dayOfMonth) {
Year = year;
Month = monthOfYear;
Day = dayOfMonth;
updateDisplay();
}
};
Thanx in advance.

Use this CustomDialogFragment that contains use of
TimePicker Dialog fragment
DatePicker Dialog fragment
Simple Dialog Fragment
CustomeDialogFragment Class
public class CustomDialogFragment extends DialogFragment
{
public static final int DATE_PICKER = 1;
public static final int TIME_PICKER = 2;
public static final int DIALOG = 3;
Context mContext;
String mMessage;
boolean finishActivity;
// private Fragment mCurrentFragment;
Activity mActivity;
/**
* this constructor is used for datepicker & Timepicker
*/
public CustomDialogFragment (Fragment fragment ) {
// mCurrentFragment = fragment;
}
public CustomDialogFragment (Activity mActivity ) {
this.mActivity = mActivity;
}
/**
* this constructor is used for simple dialog fragment
*/
public CustomDialogFragment(Context context, String message, final boolean finishActivity) {
mContext = context;
mMessage = message;
this.finishActivity = finishActivity;
}
public Dialog onCreateDialog(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
bundle = getArguments();
int id = bundle.getInt("dialog_id");
switch (id) {
case DATE_PICKER:
return new DatePickerDialog(getActivity(),
(OnDateSetListener)mActivity, bundle.getInt("year"),
bundle.getInt("month"), bundle.getInt("day"));
case TIME_PICKER:
return new TimePickerDialog(getActivity(),
(OnTimeSetListener)mActivity,bundle.getInt("hour"),
bundle.getInt("minute"), true);
case DIALOG:
AlertDialog.Builder alertDialogBuilder = new AlertDialog.Builder(mContext);
alertDialogBuilder.setTitle(R.string.app_name);
alertDialogBuilder.setMessage(mMessage);
alertDialogBuilder.setIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher);
alertDialogBuilder.setCancelable(false);
alertDialogBuilder.setPositiveButton(
getResources().getString(R.string.ok), new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int arg1) {
dialog.dismiss();
if (finishActivity == true) {
Activity act = (Activity) mContext;
act.finish();
}
}
});
alertDialogBuilder.setNegativeButton(getResources().getString(R.string.cancel_btn_title), new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
CustomDialogFragment.this.dismiss();
}
});
return alertDialogBuilder.create();
}
//Define your custom dialog or alert dialog here and return it.
return new Dialog(getActivity());
}
}
& Use date Picker this Way
1) In your Activity Or fragment Implement OnDateSetListener ( after done it will get back result to onDateSet(DatePicker view, int year, int monthOfYear, int dayOfMonth) method)
2) Call DatePicker From Fragment Like this way
CustomDialogFragment dialog = new CustomDialogFragment(YourFragment.this);
Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
bundle.putInt("dialog_id", CustomDialogFragment.DATE_PICKER);
bundle.putInt("year", mYear);
bundle.putInt("month", mMonth);
bundle.putInt("day", mDay);
dialog.setArguments(bundle);
dialog.show(getFragmentManager(), "dialog");
& Call DatePicker From Activity(or FragmentActivity) Like this Way
CustomDialogFragment dialog = new CustomDialogFragment(this);
Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
bundle.putInt("dialog_id", CustomDialogFragment.DATE_PICKER);
bundle.putInt("year", mYear);
bundle.putInt("month", mMonth);
bundle.putInt("day", mDay);
dialog.setArguments(bundle);
dialog.setCancelable(false);
dialog.show(this.getSupportFragmentManager(), "dialog");
& as per Set "dialog_id" u can use TIME_PICKER (for time picker dialog) & DIALOG(for simple dialog)
as per send "dialog_id" according to send data through bundle to CustomDialogFragment.

As my knowledge, cannot use showDialog() in Fragment. It's also deprecated.
Use DialogFragment.

How to change the content of the layout?

In my Android application i have a tracker activity in which i retrieve the exercises information(name , period , burned calories) from the sqlite data base based on the selected date and display these information in a linear layout , and my problem that as the user select new date the retrieved data are displayed in another "new " layout appear above the old one but what actually i want to do is to display the new retrieved data on the same layout " change the layout content with the new retrieved data ", i have tried the remove all views method but it didn't work since the data appear for few minutes then dis appear

Its because you defined these variables as static:
public static int icon;
public static String data_text;
public static String text;
As a result only one instance of those variables are created for all instances of that class. So when you create a new Profile each time, they are overwritten with new values. You need to remove the static keyword from variable declarations:
public int icon;
public String data_text;
public String text;
Then you cannot access them as static so you need to access like this:
Profile pli = data[position];
holder.imgIcon.setImageResource(pli.icon);
holder.Datatxt.setText(pli.data_text);
holder.txt.setText(pli.text);
