Using Flow, the list is not reloaded in the recyclerView

I am training with a simple app to show movies, I use an MVVM pattern and Flow.
Problem
This is my home, filterable through chips
I click on a movie , the details screen comes up then I go back to the home and this is the result:
Using logcat the home screen gets the list of movies to show but is not shown in the recyclerview (which uses diffUtil).
Below is the code for my fragment:
#AndroidEntryPoint
class Home2Fragment : Fragment() {
private val TAG = Home2Fragment::class.simpleName
private var _binding: FragmentHome2Binding? = null
private val binding: FragmentHome2Binding
get() = _binding!!
private val viewModel: HomeViewModel by viewModels()
override fun onCreateView(
inflater: LayoutInflater, container: ViewGroup?,
savedInstanceState: Bundle?
): View {
// Inflate the layout for this fragment
_binding = FragmentHome2Binding.inflate(inflater, container, false)
return binding.root
}
override fun onViewCreated(view: View, savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState)
binding.apply {
initChipGroupSpecificMovieList()
val adapter = MovieAdapter()
sectionRv.setHasFixedSize(true)
sectionRv.adapter = adapter
viewLifecycleOwner.lifecycleScope.launch {
viewLifecycleOwner.lifecycle.repeatOnLifecycle(Lifecycle.State.STARTED) {
viewModel.movieListBySpecification.collectLatest {
Log.d(TAG, "onViewCreated: received list")
adapter.addItems(it)
}
}
}
}
}
private fun FragmentHome2Binding.initChipGroupSpecificMovieList() {
val sortByMap = HomeViewModel.Companion.MovieListSpecification.values()
chipGroup.removeAllViews()
for (specification in sortByMap) {
val chip = Chip(context)
chip.isCheckable = true
chip.id = specification.ordinal
chip.text = getString(specification.nameResource)
chip.setOnCheckedChangeListener { _, isChecked ->
if (isChecked)
viewModel.setMovieListSpecification(specification)
}
chipGroup.addView(chip)
}
chipGroup.check(sortByMap.lastIndex - sortByMap.size + 1)//check first element
}
override fun onDestroyView() {
super.onDestroyView()
_binding = null
}
}
it seems at the line of code where I try to insert the list of movies in the adapter this doesn't add them because maybe via diffUtil it finds that it is the previous list and so it doesn't load it. However it doesn't show the previous one either, possible solutions?

as java code you can use this
#Override
public void onResume() {
super.onResume();
if(it.size() > 0) {
adapter.addItems(it)
}
}

How to implement a dynamic list view inside fragment android studio in Kotlin

I have two fragments that share information with each other, in the first one I have an edit text and button widget. The second fragment is just a listview. When the user clicks the button, it displays whatever is in the edit text widget in the second fragment.
So if the user enters the text study and clicks the button the second fragment will display
Study
If the user then enters the text eat and clicks the button, the second fragment will display
Study
Eat
I am having so issues with displaying the texts
So far this is what I have done
class FirstFragment : Fragment() {
override fun onCreateView(inflater: LayoutInflater, container: ViewGroup?,
savedInstanceState: Bundle?): View? {
viewModel = activity?.run { ViewModelProvider(this)[MyViewModel::class.java]
} ?: throw Exception("Invalid Activity")
val view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.one_fragment, container, false)
val button = view.findViewById<Button>(R.id.vbutton)
val value = view.findViewById<EditText>(R.id.textView)
button.setOnClickListener {
}
return view;
}
}
class SecondFragment : Fragment() {
lateinit var viewModel: MyViewModel
#SuppressLint("MissingInflatedId")
override fun onCreateView(inflater: LayoutInflater, container: ViewGroup?,
savedInstanceState: Bundle?): View? {
viewModel = activity?.run { ViewModelProvider(this)[MyViewModel::class.java]
} ?: throw Exception("Invalid Activity")
val view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.page3_fragment, container, false)
val valueView = v.findViewById<TextView>(R.id.textView)
return view
The problem I am having is how to display the texts

If I undestand you correctly, you want to share data between fragments? If yes, you can do that with "shared" viewModel. For example:
class FirstFragment : Fragment() {
private var _binding: FragmentFirstBinding? = null
private val binding get() = _binding!!
private val sharedViewModel by activityViewModels<SharedViewModel>()
override fun onCreateView(
inflater: LayoutInflater,
container: ViewGroup?,
savedInstanceState: Bundle?
): View {
_binding = FragmentFirstBinding.inflate(inflater, container, false)
binding.buttonChangeFragment.setOnClickListener {
/*
You can change data here, or in navigateWithNavController() from
activity (You already have an instance of your viewModel in activity)
*/
sharedViewModel.changeData(binding.myEditText.text.toString())
if (requireActivity() is YourActivity)
(requireActivity() as YourActivity).navigateWithNavController()
}
return binding.root
}
}
class SecondFragment : Fragment() {
private var _binding: FragmentSecondBinding? = null
private val binding get() = _binding!!
private val sharedViewModel by activityViewModels<SharedViewModel>()
override fun onCreateView(
inflater: LayoutInflater,
container: ViewGroup?,
savedInstanceState: Bundle?
): View {
_binding = FragmentSecondBinding.inflate(inflater, container, false)
binding.secondFragmentText.text = sharedViewModel.someData.value
return binding.root
}
}
and your activity:
class YourActivity: AppCompatActivity() {
private lateinit var binding: YourActivityBinding
private lateinit var appBarConfiguration: AppBarConfiguration
private val sharedViewModel: SharedViewModel by lazy {
ViewModelProvider(
this
)[SharedViewModel::class.java]
}
private lateinit var navController: NavController
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
binding = YourActivityBinding.inflate(LayoutInflater.from(this))
setContentView(binding.root)
navController = this.findNavController(R.id.nav_host_fragment)
appBarConfiguration = AppBarConfiguration(navController.graph)
}
/*
This function is just for test
*/
fun navigateWithNavController() {
navController.navigate(R.id.secondFragment)
}
override fun onSupportNavigateUp(): Boolean {
return NavigationUI.navigateUp(navController, appBarConfiguration)
}
}
And your viewModel should look something like this:
class SharedViewModel : ViewModel() {
private val _someData = MutableLiveData("")
val someData: LiveData<String>
get() = _someData
fun changeData(newData: String?) {
_someData.value = newData ?: _someData.value
}
}

Your view model should have a backing list of the entered words. When a word is added, the list can be updated, and in turn you can update a LiveData that publishes the latest version of the list.
class MyViewModel: ViewModel() {
private val backingEntryList = mutableListOf<String>()
private val _entryListLiveData = MutableLiveData("")
val entryListLiveData : LiveData<String> get() = _entryListLiveData
fun addEntry(word: String) {
backingEntryList += word
_entryListLiveData.value = backingEntryList.toList() // use toList() to to get a safe copy
}
}
Your way of creating the shared view model is the hard way. The easy way is by using by activityViewModels().
I also suggest using the Fragment constructor that takes a layout argument, and then setting things up in onViewCreated instead of onCreateView. It's less boilerplate code to accomplish the same thing.
In the first fragment, you can add words when the button's clicked:
class FirstFragment : Fragment(R.layout.one_fragment) {
private val viewModel by activityViewModels<MyViewModel>()
override fun onViewCreated(view: View, savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
val button = view.findViewById<Button>(R.id.vbutton)
val value = view.findViewById<EditText>(R.id.textView)
button.setOnClickListener {
viewModel.addEntry(value.text.toString())
}
}
}
In the second fragment, you observe the live data:
class SecondFragment : Fragment(R.layout.page3_fragment) {
private val viewModel by activityViewModels<MyViewModel>()
override fun onViewCreated(view: View, savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
val valueView = view.findViewById<TextView>(R.id.textView)
viewModel.entryListLiveData.observe(viewLifecycleOwner) { entryList ->
valueView.text = entryList.joinToString(" ")
}
}
}

Why fragment based viewPager.setCurrentItem is not working inside an adapter?

I have a fragment in MainActivity that handles other fragments inside a view page.
This is that one:
class FragOrdersHolder : Fragment() {
lateinit var viewPager: ViewPager
override fun onCreateView(
inflater: LayoutInflater, container: ViewGroup?, savedInstanceState: Bundle?
): View? {
val mainView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.orders_holder_frg, container, false)
return mainView
}
override fun onViewCreated(mainView: View, savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onViewCreated(mainView, savedInstanceState)
viewPager = mainView.findViewById(R.id.ordersViewPagerID)
viewPager.adapter = OrdersPagerAdapter(activity!!.supportFragmentManager)
val pagerTab = mainView.findViewById<PagerTabStrip>(R.id.pagerHeaderID)
pagerTab.tabIndicatorColor = Color.WHITE
pagerTab.setTextColor(Color.WHITE)
}
fun GoTo(pos: Int) {
Handler().post(Runnable {
viewPager.setCurrentItem(pos, true)
})
}
}
I have 3 fragments in my viewPager and one of them, have a recyclerview inside it.
the recyclerview has a custom adapter class.
I want to go to next tap in viewPager when clicking on an item in the recylerview.
I'm calling the GoTo method in adapter class like this:
val fm = (activity as MainActivity).supportFragmentManager
val fragm = fm.findFragmentByTag("HOLDER") as FragOrdersHolder
fragm.GoTo(2)
I'd tried everything viewPager.setCurrentItem not working!
please help me.

How to implement shared transition element from RecyclerView item to Fragment with Android Navigation Component?

I have a pretty straightforward case. I want to implement shared element transition between an item in recyclerView and fragment. I'm using android navigation component in my app.
There is an article about shared transition on developer.android and topic on stackoverflow but this solution works only for view that located in fragment layout that starts transition and doesn't work for items from RecyclerView. Also there is a lib on github but i don't want to rely on 3rd party libs and do it by myself.
Is there some solution for this? Maybe it should work and this is just a bug? But I haven't found any information about it.
code sample:
transition start
class TransitionStartFragment: Fragment() {
override fun onCreateView(inflater: LayoutInflater, container: ViewGroup?, savedInstanceState: Bundle?): View? {
return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_transition_start, container, false)
}
override fun onViewCreated(view: View, savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState)
val testData = listOf("one", "two", "three")
val adapter = TestAdapter(testData, View.OnClickListener { transitionWithTextViewInRecyclerViewItem(it) })
val recyclerView = view.findViewById<RecyclerView>(R.id.test_list)
recyclerView.adapter = adapter
val button = view.findViewById<Button>(R.id.open_transition_end_fragment)
button.setOnClickListener { transitionWithTextViewInFragment() }
}
private fun transitionWithTextViewInFragment(){
val destination = TransitionStartFragmentDirections.openTransitionEndFragment()
val extras = FragmentNavigatorExtras(transition_start_text to "transitionTextEnd")
findNavController().navigate(destination, extras)
}
private fun transitionWithTextViewInRecyclerViewItem(view: View){
val destination = TransitionStartFragmentDirections.openTransitionEndFragment()
val extras = FragmentNavigatorExtras(view to "transitionTextEnd")
findNavController().navigate(destination, extras)
}
}

adapter for recyclerView
class TestAdapter(
private val items: List<String>,
private val onItemClickListener: View.OnClickListener
) : RecyclerView.Adapter<TestAdapter.ViewHodler>() {
override fun onCreateViewHolder(parent: ViewGroup, viewType: Int): ViewHodler {
return ViewHodler(LayoutInflater.from(parent.context).inflate(R.layout.item_test, parent, false))
}
override fun getItemCount(): Int {
return items.size
}
override fun onBindViewHolder(holder: ViewHodler, position: Int) {
val item = items[position]
holder.transitionText.text = item
holder.itemView.setOnClickListener { onItemClickListener.onClick(holder.transitionText) }
}
class ViewHodler(itemView: View) : RecyclerView.ViewHolder(itemView) {
val transitionText = itemView.findViewById<TextView>(R.id.item_test_text)
}
}
in onItemClick I pass the textView form item in recyclerView for transition
transition end
class TransitionEndFragment : Fragment() {
override fun onCreateView(inflater: LayoutInflater, container: ViewGroup?, savedInstanceState: Bundle?): View? {
setUpTransition()
return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_transition_end, container, false)
}
private fun setUpTransition(){
sharedElementEnterTransition = TransitionInflater.from(context).inflateTransition(android.R.transition.move)
}
}

fun transitionWithTextViewInFragment() - has transition.
fun transitionWithTextViewInRecyclerViewItem(view: View) - no transition.

To solve the return transition problem you need to add this lines on the Source Fragment (the fragment with the recycler view) where you initialize your recycler view
// your recyclerView
recyclerView.apply {
...
adapter = myAdapter
postponeEnterTransition()
viewTreeObserver
.addOnPreDrawListener {
startPostponedEnterTransition()
true
}
}

Here is my example with RecyclerView that have fragment shared transition.
In my adapter i am setting different transition name for each item based on position(In my example it is ImageView).
override fun onBindViewHolder(holder: ViewHolder, position: Int) {
val item = items[position]
holder.itemView.txtView.text=item
ViewCompat.setTransitionName(holder.itemView.imgViewIcon, "Test_$position")
holder.setClickListener(object : ViewHolder.ClickListener {
override fun onClick(v: View, position: Int) {
when (v.id) {
R.id.linearLayout -> listener.onClick(item, holder.itemView.imgViewIcon, position)
}
}
})
}
And when clicking on item, my interface that implemented in source fragment:
override fun onClick(text: String, img: ImageView, position: Int) {
val action = MainFragmentDirections.actionMainFragmentToSecondFragment(text, position)
val extras = FragmentNavigator.Extras.Builder()
.addSharedElement(img, ViewCompat.getTransitionName(img)!!)
.build()
NavHostFragment.findNavController(this#MainFragment).navigate(action, extras)
}
And in my destination fragment:
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
info("onCreate")
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
sharedElementEnterTransition = TransitionInflater.from(context).inflateTransition(android.R.transition.move)
}
}
override fun onCreateView(inflater: LayoutInflater, container: ViewGroup?, savedInstanceState: Bundle?): View? {
info("onCreateView")
return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_second, container, false)
}
override fun onViewCreated(view: View, savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState)
info("onViewCreated")
val name=SecondFragmentArgs.fromBundle(arguments).name
val position=SecondFragmentArgs.fromBundle(arguments).position
txtViewName.text=name
ViewCompat.setTransitionName(imgViewSecond, "Test_$position")
}

Faced the same issue as many on SO with the return transition but for me the root cause of the problem was that Navigation currently only uses replace for fragment transactions and it caused my recycler in the start fragment to reload every time you hit back which was a problem by itself.
So by solving the second (root) problem the return transition started to work without delayed animations. For those of you who are looking to keep the initial state when hitting back here is what I did :
just adding a simple check in onCreateView as so
private lateinit var binding: FragmentSearchResultsBinding
override fun onCreateView(
inflater: LayoutInflater,
container: ViewGroup?,
savedInstanceState: Bundle?
): View? {
return if (::binding.isInitialized) {
binding.root
} else {
binding = DataBindingUtil.inflate(inflater, R.layout.fragment_search_results, container, false)
with(binding) {
//doing some stuff here
root
}
}
So triple win here: recycler is not redrawn, no refetching from server and also return transitions are working as expected.

I have managed return transitions to work.
Actually this is not a bug in Android and not a problem with setReorderingAllowed = true. What happens here is the original fragment (to which we return) trying to start transition before its views/data are settled up.
To fix this we have to use postponeEnterTransition() and startPostponedEnterTransition().
For example:
Original fragment:
class FragmentOne : Fragment(R.layout.f1) {
override fun onViewCreated(view: View, savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState)
postponeEnterTransition()
val items = listOf("one", "two", "three", "four", "five")
.zip(listOf(Color.RED, Color.GRAY, Color.GREEN, Color.BLUE, Color.YELLOW))
.map { Item(it.first, it.second) }
val rv = view.findViewById<RecyclerView>(R.id.rvItems)
rv.adapter = ItemsAdapter(items) { item, view -> navigateOn(item, view) }
view.doOnPreDraw { startPostponedEnterTransition() }
}
private fun navigateOn(item: Item, view: View) {
val extras = FragmentNavigatorExtras(view to "yura")
findNavController().navigate(FragmentOneDirections.toTwo(item), extras)
}
}
Next fragment:
class FragmentTwo : Fragment(R.layout.f2) {
val item: Item by lazy { arguments?.getSerializable("item") as Item }
override fun onViewCreated(view: View, savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState)
sharedElementEnterTransition =
TransitionInflater.from(context).inflateTransition(android.R.transition.move)
val tv = view.findViewById<TextView>(R.id.tvItemId)
with(tv) {
text = item.id
transitionName = "yura"
setBackgroundColor(item.color)
}
}
}
For more details and deeper explanation see:
https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/118475573
and
https://chris.banes.dev/2018/02/18/fragmented-transitions/

Android material design library contains MaterialContainerTransform class which allows to easily implement container transitions including transitions on recycler-view items. See container transform section for more details.
Here's an example of such a transition:
// FooListFragment.kt
class FooListFragment : Fragment() {
...
private val itemListener = object : FooListener {
override fun onClick(item: Foo, itemView: View) {
...
val transitionName = getString(R.string.foo_details_transition_name)
val extras = FragmentNavigatorExtras(itemView to transitionName)
navController.navigate(directions, extras)
}
}
override fun onViewCreated(view: View, savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState)
// Postpone enter transitions to allow shared element transitions to run.
// https://github.com/googlesamples/android-architecture-components/issues/495
postponeEnterTransition()
view.doOnPreDraw { startPostponedEnterTransition() }
...
}
// FooDetailsFragment.kt
class FooDetailsFragment : Fragment() {
...
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
sharedElementEnterTransition = MaterialContainerTransform().apply {
duration = 1000
}
}
}
And don't forget to add unique transition names to the views:
<!-- foo_list_item.xml -->
<LinearLayout ...
android:transitionName="#{#string/foo_item_transition_name(foo.id)}">...</LinearLayout>
<!-- fragment_foo_details.xml -->
<LinearLayout ...
android:transitionName="#string/foo_details_transition_name">...</LinearLayout>
<!-- strings.xml -->
<resources>
...
<string name="foo_item_transition_name" translatable="false">foo_item_transition_%1$s</string>
<string name="foo_details_transition_name" translatable="false">foo_details_transition</string>
</resources>
The full sample is available on GitHub.
You can also take a look at Reply - an official android material sample app where a similar transition is implemented, see HomeFragment.kt & EmailFragment.kt. There's a codelab describing the process of implementing transitions in the app, and a video tutorial.

How to fetch resource id in fragment using kotlin in android?

Add
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android-extensions'
in the app level gradle file and
import
import kotlinx.android.synthetic.main.fragment_your_fragment_name.view.*
in the onCreateView of your fragment (e.g. if the id of your textview is textView)
override fun onCreateView(inflater: LayoutInflater?, container: ViewGroup?,
savedInstanceState: Bundle?): View? {
// Inflate the layout for this fragment
val view = inflater!!.inflate(R.layout.fragment_splashfragment, container, false)
view.textView.text = "hello" //add your view before id else getting nullpointer exception
return view
}
UPDATE:
declare viewOfLayout in your class instead of view.
class yourfragment:Fragment(){
private lateinit var viewOfLayout: View
override fun onCreateView(inflater: LayoutInflater?, container: ViewGroup?,
savedInstanceState: Bundle?): View? {
// Inflate the layout for this fragment
viewOfLayout = inflater!!.inflate(R.layout.fragment_splashfragment, container, false)
viewOfLayout.textView.text = "hello" //add your view before id else will get nullpointer exception
return viewOfLayout
}
}

Introducing Kotlin Android Extensions.
You do not have to use findViewById anymore. Using this plugin you can use the UI component directly as a global field. Supported in Activities, fragments and views.
Example,
To refer text view from the layout below,
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/hello"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Hello World, MyActivity"/>
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>
in activity you can simply write,
// Using R.layout.activity_main from the main source set
import kotlinx.android.synthetic.main.activity_main.*
class MyActivity : Activity() {
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)
// Instead of findViewById(R.id.hello) as TextView
hello?.setText("Hello, world!")
}
}
in fragments,
// Using R.layout.fragment_content from the main source set
import kotlinx.android.synthetic.main.fragment_content.*
class ContentFragment : Fragment() {
override fun onCreateView(inflater: LayoutInflater, container: ViewGroup?, savedInstanceState: Bundle?): View? =
inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_content, container, false)
override fun onViewCreated(view: View, savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState)
// Instead of view.findViewById(R.id.hello) as TextView
hello?.setText("Hello, world!")
}
}
and for views,
// Using R.layout.item_view_layout from the main source set
import kotlinx.android.synthetic.main.item_view_layout.*
class ItemViewHolder(view: View) : RecyclerView.ViewHolder(view) {
fun bindData(data: String) {
// Instead of itemView.findViewById(R.id.hello) as TextView
itemView.hello?.setText(data)
}
}
And, you should not use !! everywhere, unless you want NullPointerException explicitly.
Instead use anyone from the following:
Do null check with safe call - ?., Eg. nullableVariable?.method()
Use non-null object using ?.let{ }, Eg. nullableVariable?.let { it.method() }
Supplying a backup value for the nullable variable using elvis operator - ?:, Eg. nullableVariable ?: <backupValue>.
Read more about Null Safety in Kotlin.

Initialization of view in fragment :
wall_recycler=view.findViewById<RecyclerView>(R.id.wall_recycler_id)
mainlayout = view.findViewById<LinearLayout>(R.id.mainlayout)
The problem is that you are accessing it too soon. requireView() and view returns null in onCreateView.I have find all views in onViewCreated().
Try doing it in the onViewCreated method:
override fun onViewCreated(view: View?, savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
wall_recycler=requireView().findViewById<RecyclerView>(R.id.wall_recycler_id)
mainlayout = requireView().findViewById<LinearLayout>(R.id.mainlayout)
mainlayout.setOnClickListener { Log.d(TAG, "onViewCreated(): hello world");}
}
