kotlin recyclerview data not showing - android

Our question is how to show Parent and Child data from two SQLite DB tables?
We have two tables that are added to two ArrayLists childList and parentList.
Here are the Model Class's for each
class ModelParent {
var idD:Int = 0
var dept:String = ""
var fkD:Int = 0
var children: List<ModelChild> = mutableListOf()
//var children: ArrayList<ModelChild>? = null
//var children: List<ModelChild> by Delegates.notNull()
constructor (children: List<ModelParent>) : this()
companion object {
var globalVar = 1
}
}
class ModelChild {
var idI:Int = 0
var item:String = ""
var fkI:Int = 0
}
We have two Adapters for each table and will post that code
We are able to iterate through the two ArrayList with this code and display the data in the format we would like to show in the ViewActivity.
fun theGET(){
val db = DBHelper(this)
childList = db.queryITEM()
parentList = db.queryDEPT()
var PL = parentList.size
do {
var DEPT: String = parentList[z].dept
var PARENT_LIST_FK = parentList.get(z).fkD
println("========== Dept " + DEPT + " fkD " + PARENT_LIST_FK)
val FK = PARENT_LIST_FK
childList = db.queryALL(FK)
var CL = childList.size
for (a in 0..CL - 1) {
var CHILD_ITEM = childList[a].item
var CHILD_LIST_FK = childList[a].fkI
println("========== item " + CHILD_ITEM+" fkI "+CHILD_LIST_FK)
}
z++
}
while (z <= PL-1)
}
We will post the View Activity
class ViewActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
lateinit var recyclerView: RecyclerView
private var parentList:List<ModelParent> = ArrayList()
private var childList:List<ModelChild> = ArrayList()
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
setContentView(R.layout.activity_view)
initRecycler()
}// end onCreate
private fun initRecycler() {
val db = DBHelper(this)
childList = db.queryITEM()
parentList = db.queryDEPT()
recyclerView = rv_parent
recyclerView.apply{
layoutManager = LinearLayoutManager(this#ViewActivity, LinearLayout.VERTICAL, false)
adapter = ViewAdapter(parentList)
adapter = ViewChildAdapter(children = childList)
}
}
}
ViewActivity has this XML file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

class ViewAdapter(private val parents:List<ModelParent>):RecyclerView.Adapter<ViewAdapter.ViewHolder>() {
override fun onCreateViewHolder(parent: ViewGroup, viewType: Int): ViewHolder {

When the ViewActivity is loaded ONLY the childList is displayed.
We have tried various changes and can not display the parent List though using theGET fun the parentList data is displayed so we know it is in the list.
We can run the fun theGET and crate a new ArrayList that seems futile.
Our concern is that the parentList is displayed and then removed when the childList is displayed.
We do not know how to prove this.
So our question is how to show Parent and Child data in a organized fashion in the View Activity?
We are adding New CODE based on #Cruces answer
Some issues with this code are beyond out understanding
1. We have no way to run the fun join to create the newList
2. Parent and Child ViewHolder can be called only with receiver of containing Class
3. Too many inner Class's and do we need an Outer Nested annotation?
4. or if both parent and child implement an interface a List< IItem > )
We do not know how to write an interface and connect it to the JoinAdapter
While the answer poses new question we feel it better to ask with in this context = Context HUMOR
Here is the FIX for the JoinAdapter
class JoinAdapter(internal var context: Context, val parents: List<ModelParent>) : RecyclerView.Adapter<JoinAdapter.MyViewHolder>() {
val items = mutableListOf<Any>()
init {
parents //parents should be passed as a constructor argument
.forEach {
items.add(it)
items.addAll(it.children)
}
}
override fun getItemCount(): Int = items.size;
fun getItem(position: Int): Any = items[position]
override fun getItemViewType(position: Int): Int = if (getItem(position) is ModelParent) 0 else 1
override fun onCreateViewHolder(parent: ViewGroup, viewType: Int): MyViewHolder {
var view: View? = null
if (viewType == 0) {
view = LayoutInflater.from(parent.context).inflate(R.layout.the_view, parent, false)
return ParentViewHolder(view!!)
} else {
view = LayoutInflater.from(parent.context).inflate(R.layout.child_recycler, parent, false)
return ChildViewHolder(view!!)
}
}
override fun onBindViewHolder(holder: MyViewHolder, position: Int) = holder.bindData(position, getItem(position))
inner abstract class MyViewHolder(view: View) : RecyclerView.ViewHolder(view) {
abstract fun bindData(position: Int, item: Any)
}
inner class ParentViewHolder(view: View) : MyViewHolder(view) {
override fun bindData(position: Int, item: Any) {
val parent = item as? ModelParent ?: return
parent.dept
parent.fkD
parent.children
//bind the data here
}
init {
val textView: TextView = view.textView
var editCLICK: RelativeLayout = view.findViewById(R.id.editCLICK) as RelativeLayout
//do the view setup here
}
}
inner class ChildViewHolder(view: View) : MyViewHolder(view) {
init {
val textView : TextView = itemView.child_textView
//do the view setup here
}
override fun bindData(position: Int, item: Any) {
val child = item as? ModelChild ?: return
child.item
child.idI
//bind the data here
}
}
I am going to post the View Activity call to Join Adapter
Code does not FAIL it just shows nothing?
RecyclerAdapter1 = JoinAdapter(parents = ArrayList(),context = applicationContext)
(recyclerView as RecyclerView).adapter = RecyclerAdapter1
Here is the ViewJoinActivity it will load the Parent Data NO Child Data
class ViewJoinActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
lateinit var recyclerView: RecyclerView
private var RecyclerAdapter: JoinAdapter? = null
private var linearLayoutManager: LinearLayoutManager? = null
private val db = DBHelper(this)
private var parentList:List<ModelParent> = ArrayList()
private var childList:List<ModelChild> = ArrayList()
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
setContentView(R.layout.activity_view_join)
initRecycler()
}// end onCreate
override fun onResume() {
super.onResume()
initDB()
}
private fun initDB() {
parentList = db.queryDEPT()
//childList = db.queryCHILD(1)
childList = db.queryITEM()
// queryCHILD only selects records with a fkI equal to idD
// SEE THE ModelChild and ModelParent
if(parentList.isEmpty()){
title = "No Records in DB"
}else{
title = "Parent List"
}
RecyclerAdapter = JoinAdapter(parents = parentList, context = applicationContext)
(recyclerView as RecyclerView).adapter = RecyclerAdapter
}
private fun initRecycler() {
val db = DBHelper(this)
childList = db.queryITEM()
parentList = db.queryDEPT()
//recyclerView = rv_parent
/*var PL = parentList.size
newList.clear()
do {
var DEPT: String = parentList[z].dept
var ND:String = DEPT
var PARENT_LIST_FK = parentList.get(z).fkD
var PL_ST = ND+" "+PARENT_LIST_FK
newList.add(PL_ST)
println("========== Dept " + DEPT + " fkD " + PARENT_LIST_FK)
val FK = PARENT_LIST_FK
childList = db.queryCHILD(FK)
var CL = childList.size
for (a in 0..CL - 1) {
var CHILD_ITEM = childList[a].item
var NI:String = childList[a].item
var CHILD_LIST_FK = childList[a].fkI
var IL_ST = NI+" "+CHILD_LIST_FK
newList.add(IL_ST)
println("========== item " + CHILD_ITEM+" fkI "+CHILD_LIST_FK)
}
z++
g++
}
while (z <= PL-1)
var ui = newList.size
g=0
for(g in 0..ui-1){
var N2 = newList[g]
if(N2.toString().contains("1")){
println("********************** We Found "+N2)
}
println("############### BOTH = "+N2)
}*/
recyclerView = this.findViewById(R.id.rv_parent)
RecyclerAdapter = JoinAdapter(parents = parentList, context = applicationContext)
linearLayoutManager = LinearLayoutManager(applicationContext)
(recyclerView as RecyclerView).layoutManager = linearLayoutManager!!
//recyclerView.apply {
//layoutManager = LinearLayoutManager(this#ViewJoinActivity, LinearLayout.VERTICAL, false)
//adapter = JoinAdapter(children = childList)
//}
}
}
Calling the Join Adapter from a Activity is the issue? ?
This Activity has a XML associated file with a RecyclerView rv_parent

The way I would do it is flatten the list edit: like this in the constructor
val items : MutableList<Any> = mutableListOf<Any>()
init() {
parents //parents should be passed as a constructor argument
.asSequence() //this is only needed if you want to also order them
.sortedBy { it.idD } //again only if you want to sort them
.forEach {
items.add(it)
items.addAll(it.children)
}
}
I would create a List < Any > (or if both parent and child implement an interface a List< IItem > ) that would contain all the data as you wish to see it, so for example it could look like this:
val items : List<Any> = listOf(parent1, child11,child12,child13,parent2,child12,child13,child14.....etc)
then I would implement a single adapter with multiple view types like this:
override fun getItemCount(): Int {
return items.size
}
fun getItem(position: Int) : Any { //or the interface
return items[position]
}
override getItemViewType (position: Int) : Int {
if (getItem(position) is ModelParent)
return 0
return 1
}
override fun onCreateViewHolder(parent: ViewGroup, viewType: Int): ViewHolder {
var view : View? = null
if (viewType == 0) {
view = LayoutInflater.from(parent.context).inflate(R.layout.parent_layout,parent,false)
return ParentViewHolder(view);
} else {
view = LayoutInflater.from(parent.context).inflate(R.layout.child_layout,parent,false)
return ChildViewHolder(view);
}
}
and then I would use two view holders to represent how the data is shown for the specific item
inner class ParentViewHolder(itemView : View) : RecyclerView.ViewHolder(itemView){ ...}
inner class ChildViewHolder(itemView : View) : RecyclerView.ViewHolder(itemView){ ...}
after that I could perform different bindings by getting the type of the view ,something like this:
override fun onBindViewHolder(holder: ViewHolder, position: Int) {
if (getItemType(position) == 0) {
(holder as ParentViewHolder).bindData(....)
} else {
(holder as ChildViewHolder).bindData(....)
}
}
edit: Here is the complete adapter I built, it is based on two layout files:
list_item_child:
<android.support.v7.widget.CardView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:card_view="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="#+id/card_view"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:layout_margin="2dp"
card_view:cardBackgroundColor="#fff"
card_view:cardCornerRadius="5dp"
card_view:cardElevation="4dp"
card_view:cardUseCompatPadding="true">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/child_item"
style="#style/Base.TextAppearance.AppCompat.Display3"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:padding="20dp"
android:textSize="24sp"
android:textStyle="bold"
tools:text="Dept Header" />
</android.support.v7.widget.CardView>
list_item_parent:
<android.support.v7.widget.CardView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:card_view="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="#+id/card_view"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:layout_margin="2dp"
card_view:cardBackgroundColor="#fff"
card_view:cardCornerRadius="5dp"
card_view:cardElevation="4dp"
card_view:cardUseCompatPadding="true">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/parent_department"
style="#style/Base.TextAppearance.AppCompat.Headline"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:padding="20dp"
tools:text="Dept Header"
android:textSize="24sp"
android:textStyle="bold" />
</android.support.v7.widget.CardView>
and the adapter would look something like this:
import android.content.Context
import android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
import android.view.LayoutInflater
import android.view.View
import android.view.ViewGroup
import android.widget.TextView
data class ModelParent(val id: Int, val children: List<ModelChild>)
data class ModelChild(val id: Int)
class JoinAdapter(internal var context: Context, val parents: List<ModelParent>) : RecyclerView.Adapter<JoinAdapter.MyViewHolder>() {
val items = mutableListOf<Any>()
init {
parents //parents should be passed as a constructor argument
.forEach {
items.add(it)
items.addAll(it.children)
}
}
override fun getItemCount(): Int = items.size;
fun getItem(position: Int): Any = items[position]
override fun getItemViewType(position: Int): Int = if (getItem(position) is ModelParent) 0 else 1
override fun onCreateViewHolder(parent: ViewGroup, viewType: Int): MyViewHolder {
var view: View? = null
if (viewType == 0) {
view = LayoutInflater.from(parent.context).inflate(R.layout.rv_list_item_parent, parent, false)
return ParentViewHolder(view!!)
} else {
view = LayoutInflater.from(parent.context).inflate(R.layout.rv_list_item_child, parent, false)
return ChildViewHolder(view!!)
}
}
override fun onBindViewHolder(holder: MyViewHolder, position: Int) = holder.bindData(position, getItem(position))
inner abstract class MyViewHolder(view: View) : RecyclerView.ViewHolder(view) {
abstract fun bindData(position: Int, item: Any)
}
inner class ParentViewHolder(view: View) : MyViewHolder(view) {
var parentDept: TextView = view.findViewById(R.id.parent_department) as TextView
override fun bindData(position: Int, item: Any) {
val parent = item as? ModelParent ?: return
parentDept.text = parent.dept
}
}
inner class ChildViewHolder(view: View) : MyViewHolder(view) {
var childItem: TextView = view.findViewById(R.id.child_item) as TextView
override fun bindData(position: Int, item: Any) {
val child = item as? ModelChild ?: return
childItem.text = child.item
}
}
}
this when used on a single recyclerview will display all children under their parent in a list

Here is a answer and some observations about the design of this app
The answer does NOT place both the parent and child data on the same Recycler View List But the answer may help to solve the issue With further exploration!
What we did was create the parent list and when the Parent Dept is clicked on the corresponding Child Items will be displayed. This may be a more functional design while shopping you only need to look at Produce items while in that section. This means less scrolling through a single master list of Parents and Children.
A word or two about the design we are guessing a grocery store might have 20 or more Departments (Parents) so how you plan to know which Items (Child data) is connected to the appropriate Dept (Parent) needs drastic redesign when building these two lists.
If you downloaded the code from GitHub you will have a better grasp about this design deficiency
Here is all the code with the XML files
Main Activity navigates to View Activity
fun onViewAll(view: View){
val intent = Intent(this,ViewActivity::class.java)
intent.putExtra("pickADAPTER",2)
startActivity(intent)
}
Here is the View Activity
class ViewActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
lateinit var recyclerView: RecyclerView
private var RecyclerAdapter1: ViewAdapter? = null
private var RecyclerAdapter2: ViewChildAdapter? = null
private var linearLayoutManager: LinearLayoutManager? = null
private val db = DBHelper(this)
private var parentList:List<ModelParent> = ArrayList()
private var childList:List<ModelChild> = ArrayList()
var idD = 0
var whichADAPTER = 0
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
setContentView(R.layout.activity_view)
val bundle: Bundle = intent.extras
idD = bundle.getInt("BIGi", 0)
whichADAPTER = bundle.getInt("pickADAPTER",0)
initRecycler()
}// end onCreate
override fun onResume() {
super.onResume()
initDB()
}
private fun initDB() {
parentList = db.queryDEPT()
childList = db.queryCHILD(idD)
// queryCHILD only selects records with a fkI equal to idD
// SEE THE ModelChild and ModelParent
if(parentList.isEmpty()){
title = "No Records in DB"
}else{
title = "Parent List"
}
if(whichADAPTER == 2) {
RecyclerAdapter1 = ViewAdapter(parents = parentList, context = applicationContext)
(recyclerView as RecyclerView).adapter = RecyclerAdapter1
}else{
RecyclerAdapter2 = ViewChildAdapter(children = childList)
(recyclerView as RecyclerView).adapter = RecyclerAdapter2
}
}
private fun initRecycler() {
val db = DBHelper(this)
childList = db.queryITEM()
parentList = db.queryDEPT()
recyclerView = rv_parent
recyclerView = this.findViewById(R.id.rv_parent)
RecyclerAdapter1 = ViewAdapter(parents = parentList, context = applicationContext)
linearLayoutManager = LinearLayoutManager(applicationContext)
(recyclerView as RecyclerView).layoutManager = linearLayoutManager!!
}
Here the XML file for View Activity
<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
android:id="#+id/rv_parent"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
Here is the View Adapter
class ViewAdapter(private val parents: List<ModelParent>, internal var context: Context):RecyclerView.Adapter<ViewAdapter.ViewHolder>() {
override fun onCreateViewHolder(parent: ViewGroup, viewType: Int): ViewHolder {
val view = LayoutInflater.from(parent.context).inflate(R.layout.the_view,parent,false)
return ViewHolder(view)
}
override fun getItemCount(): Int {
return parents.size
}
override fun onBindViewHolder(holder: ViewHolder, position: Int) {
val parent = parents[position]
holder.textView.text = parent.dept
holder.editCLICK.setOnClickListener {
val i = Intent(context, ViewActivity::class.java)
i.putExtra("BIGi",parent.idD)
i.flags = Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK
context.startActivity(i)
}
}
inner class ViewHolder(itemView : View) : RecyclerView.ViewHolder(itemView){
//val recyclerView : RecyclerView = itemView.rv_child
val textView: TextView = itemView.textView
var editCLICK: RelativeLayout = itemView.findViewById(R.id.editCLICK) as

This is the search routine in DBHelper
fun queryCHILD(fkI: Int): List<ModelChild> {
val db = this.writableDatabase
val childList = ArrayList<ModelChild>()
val selectQuery = "SELECT * FROM $CHILD_TABLE WHERE $colCFK = ?"
val cursor = db.rawQuery(selectQuery, arrayOf(fkI.toString()))
if (cursor != null) {
if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
do {
val contact = ModelChild()
contact.idI = Integer.parseInt(cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(colidI)))
contact.item = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(colItem))
contact.fkI = Integer.parseInt(cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(colCFK)))
childList.add(contact)
} while (cursor.moveToNext())
}
}
cursor.close()
return childList
}
One thing to make note of we attached the OnClickListener to a Relative Layout
holder.editCLICK.setOnClickListener
Why we are not sure you can obtain parent.idD type information from a RecyclerView set as a listener?
We need to explore this but in our testing the code failed when we tried.

In the ViewActivity class, you have first set the recyclerView adapter to ViewAdapter and then to ViewChildAdapter thus, now, the adapter of recyclerView is ViewChildAdapter instead of ViewAdapter. Remove this line and the problem will be resolved.

onCreateViewHolder() of child recycler view not being called in Android [Kotlin]

I have a nested recycler view structure. The data for the recycler view is coming from Room Database and it follows MVVM architecture with repositories and viewmodels.
I am able to inflate the parent recycler view and get the list on screen but the child recycler view is not being inflated. I can see the value being passed through the adapter by using logs. But that is not being used on onBindViewHolder() and neither onCreateViewHolder() is called
Any help would be appreciated.

Edit 1:
My entity :
data class AddedDevicesInformation(
#ColumnInfo(name = "floor_name")
var floorName: String = "",
#ColumnInfo(name = "room_name")
var roomName: String = "",
#ColumnInfo(name = "machine_name")
var machineName: String = "",
#ColumnInfo(name = "device_name")
var deviceName: String = "",
#ColumnInfo(name = "factory_status")
var factoryStatus: Boolean? = false,
#PrimaryKey(autoGenerate = true)
var id: Int? = null,
) {
}
DAO query :
//returns all rooms associated with a floor
#Query("SELECT room_name from added_device_information where floor_name =:floor")
fun readAllRoomsOnAFloor(floor: String): LiveData<List<String>>
Repository:
class ControlPanelRepository(private val devicesInformationDao: DevicesInformationDao) {
fun getAllRooms(floor: String): LiveData<List<String>> = devicesInformationDao.readAllRoomsOnAFloor(floor)
ViewModel:
class ControlPanelViewModel(application: Application) : AndroidViewModel(application) {
//repository instance
val repository: ControlPanelRepository
//Variable for getting all floors
val getAllFloors: LiveData<List<String>>
init {
val database = PowerManagementDatabase.getDatabase(application)
val dao = database.getAddedDevicesInformationDao()
repository = ControlPanelRepository(dao)
getAllFloors = repository.getAllFloors
}
fun getAllRooms(floor: String): LiveData<List<String>> {
return repository.getAllRooms(floor)
}
}
The problem is that each "floor" (row in the floor RecyclerView) has its own unique "room" RecyclerView, but you never attach an adapter to those room RecyclerViews. Instead, you inflate an unused "floor" layout in the Fragment and attach a room adapter to it. That layout will never be displayed anywhere so its adapter is never used.
override fun onViewCreated(view: View, savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState)
binding.rvFloors.adapter = adapter
binding.rvFloors.layoutManager = LinearLayoutManager(requireContext())
// The problem is this part.
// This view isn't shown anywhere, and the views inflated in FloorsAdapter
// never get a RoomAdapter attached
ListItemControlPanelFloorsBinding.inflate(layoutInflater).apply {
rvRoomControlPanel.adapter = roomAdapter
rvRoomControlPanel.layoutManager = LinearLayoutManager(activity)
Timber.d("Inside list item")
}
Each displayed floor layout is inflated in the floor adapter in onCreateViewHolder and the data for the floor then gets set in onBindViewHolder. This means you need to create a separate RoomsAdapter for each floor and attach it inside the floor adapter somewhere.
This makes accessing the room adapters more difficult with your current pattern, but if you make a Floor object that contains both its name and its list of rooms, then the floor object selected in onBindViewHolder can pass the list of rooms to its RoomAdapter. This means the FloorsAdapter would take a List<Floor> instead of List<String>. Then in the main fragment you only need to pass the list of Floor objects to the floor adapter and it will handle passing room lists on to the room adapters appropriately.
data class Floor(val name: String, val rooms: List<String>) {}
The floor adapter would look something like this:
// modify the ViewHolder to store the binding (so you don't have to
// re-bind the views so often) and store the room adapter for this
// floor. There should be one room adapter per floor.
inner class FloorViewHolder(val binding: ListItemControlPanelFloorsBinding,
val roomAdapter: RoomsAdapter)
: RecyclerView.ViewHolder(binding.root) {}
override fun onCreateViewHolder(
parent: ViewGroup,
viewType: Int
): FloorViewHolder {
val layoutInflater = LayoutInflater.from(parent.context)
val binding = ListItemControlPanelFloorsBinding.inflate(layoutInflater, parent, false)
// Create one adapter per floor here
val adapter = RoomsAdapter()
binding.rvRoomControlPanel.adapter = adapter
binding.rvRoomControlPanel.layoutManager = LinearLayoutManager(activity)
return FloorViewHolder(binding, adapter)
}
override fun onBindViewHolder(holder: FloorsAdapter.FloorViewHolder, position: Int) {
// for a given floor, set the rooms on that floor's room adapter
val currentFloor = floorList[position]
holder.roomAdapter.roomList(currentFloor.rooms)
holder.binding.tvFloor.text = "Floor : ${currentFloor.name}"
}
Here's an example of how that might look in the ViewModel, when it constructs the list of Floor objects, and the activity would observe the floorList LiveData. Each Floor contains all the data (including nested data) that it needs to display.
private val floorListLiveData = MutableLiveData<List<Floor>>()
val floorList: LiveData<List<Floor>>
get() = floorListLiveData
fun load() {
viewModelScope.launch {
val floors = mutableListOf<Floor>()
val floorList = dao.readFloors()
for(floorName in floorList) {
val rooms = dao.readRoomsInFloor(floorName)
floors.add(Floor(floorName, rooms))
}
floorListLiveData.postValue(floors)
}
}

Nested vertical recyclerviews scroll lag

My use case model looks like:
data class CombinedModel(
val header: String?,
val contactsList: List<ContactModel>
)
I have to display this model as List < CombinedModel > in a recyclerview so it will be a header title with a list of items below it. My Xml layout for the parent recyclerview is simply a MaterialTextView and a RecyclerView. The child recyclerview contains the layout for the list of ContactModel.
The problem is when scrolling down the parent list, each time a child RecyclerView comes onto screen there is a noticeable stutter/lag as it draws the next ContactModel list. The goal here would be to get this working with a smooth buttery scroll and no lag.
class ParentAdapter
constructor(
private val interaction: ContactAdapter.Interaction? = null,
private var customisedColour: String?
) : RecyclerView.Adapter<RecyclerView.ViewHolder>(),
Filterable {
private val viewPool = RecyclerView.RecycledViewPool()
private var list = emptyList<DirectoryCombinedModel>()
private var listAll = directoryList
private val listFilter = ListFilter()
override fun onCreateViewHolder(parent: ViewGroup, viewType: Int): RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
return ParentViewHolder(
RvParentBinding.inflate(
LayoutInflater.from(parent.context),
parent,
false

interaction = interaction
)
}
override fun onBindViewHolder(holder: RecyclerView.ViewHolder, position: Int) {
when (holder) {

list[position].let { holder.bind(it) }
}
}
}
override fun getItemCount(): Int {
return if (!list.isNullOrEmpty()) {
list.size
} else 0
}
fun updateList(updatedList: List<CombinedModel>) {
list = updatedList
listAll = updatedList
notifyDataSetChanged()
}
inner classParentViewHolder
constructor(
private val binding: RvParentBinding,
private val interaction: ContactAdapter.Interaction?

with(binding) {
headerTitle.text = item.header
val childLayoutManager = GridLayoutManager(
rv.context, 2

childLayoutManager.initialPrefetchItemCount = item.contactList.size
rv.apply {

ImageView doesn't load images in the RecyclerView after binding the Url

I am a newbie with android databinding, but the ImageView doesn't bind in the RecyclerView. I have read several blogs but no luck. What am I missing?
Below are some of the blog posts I have read:
link 1
link2
Below is how I have styled my xml layout.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
<data>
<variable
name="movie"
type="com.movieapp.huxymovies.model.Result" />
</data>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginBottom="8dp"
android:background="#color/bg"
android:orientation="vertical">
<android.support.v7.widget.CardView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:cardCornerRadius="4dp">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="0dp"
android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
android:background="#color/bg"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/img"
android:layout_width="70dp"
android:layout_height="100dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="8dp"
app:movieImage="#{movie.MPosterPath}" />
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
</android.support.v7.widget.CardView>
</LinearLayout>
</layout>
Then this is the modal class which contains all the attributes:
#Entity(tableName = "Results")
class Result {
companion object {
#JvmStatic
#BindingAdapter("movieImage")
fun LoadImage(view: View, mPosterPath: String?) {
val imageView = view as ImageView
Glide.with(view.context)
.load(Utils.IMAGE_BASE_URL + mPosterPath)
.into(imageView)
}
#BindingAdapter("rating")
fun setRating(ratingBar: RatingBar, rating: Float) {
if (rating != null) {
ratingBar.rating = rating
}
}
}
constructor(mId: Long?, mOverview: String?, mPosterPath: String?, mTitle: String?, mVoteAverage: Double?) {
this.mId = mId
this.mOverview = mOverview
this.mPosterPath = mPosterPath
this.mTitle = mTitle
this.mVoteAverage = mVoteAverage
}
constructor()
#PrimaryKey
#SerializedName("id")
var mId: Long? = null
#SerializedName("overview")
var mOverview: String? = null
#SerializedName("poster_path")
var mPosterPath: String? = null
#SerializedName("title")
var mTitle: String? = null
#SerializedName("vote_average")
var mVoteAverage: Double? = null
}
Then finally, in my adapter class, I tried to bind the item layout.
class ResultAdapter(private val context: Context) : PagedListAdapter<Result, ResultAdapter.ResultViewHolder>(DIFF_CALLBACK) {
public lateinit var mBinding: ItemActivitymainBinding
override fun onCreateViewHolder(parent: ViewGroup, viewType: Int): ResultViewHolder {
mBinding = DataBindingUtil.inflate(LayoutInflater.from(context), R.layout.item_activitymain, parent, false)
return ResultViewHolder(mBinding)
}
override fun onBindViewHolder(holder: ResultViewHolder, position: Int) {
val result = getItem(position)
if (result != null) {
holder.itemActivitymainBinding.titleTxt.text = result.mTitle
}
}
class ResultViewHolder(itemView: ItemActivitymainBinding) : RecyclerView.ViewHolder(itemView.root) {
var itemActivitymainBinding: ItemActivitymainBinding
var root: View
init {
root = itemView.root
itemActivitymainBinding = itemView
}
}
companion object {
const val MOVIE_ID = "MOVIE_ID"
const val MOVIE_NAME = "MOVIE_NAME"
const val MOVIE_OVERVIEW = "MOVIE_OVERVIEW"
private val DIFF_CALLBACK = object : DiffUtil.ItemCallback<Result>() {
override fun areItemsTheSame(oldItem: Result, newItem: Result): Boolean {
return oldItem.mId === newItem.mId
}
override fun areContentsTheSame(oldItem: Result, newItem: Result): Boolean {
return oldItem == newItem
}
}
}
}
Now I am still wondering why the image doesn't display because I have read some of the blog posts about this and I followed all their procedures.
First, you binding is missing its lifecycle owner (i.e., the activity or fragment in which you use the adapter). You should pass it to your adapter and then set it:
class ResultAdapter(private val lifecycleOwner: LifecycleOwner)
: PagedListAdapter<Result, ResultAdapter.ResultViewHolder>(DIFF_CALLBACK) {
override fun onCreateViewHolder(parent: ViewGroup, viewType: Int): ResultViewHolder {
val inflater = LayoutInflater.from(parent.context)
val binding = DataBindingUtil.inflate<ItemActivitymainBinding>(inflater, R.layout.item_activitymain, parent, false)
// We set the lifecycle owner here
binding.setLifecycleOwner(lifecycleOwner)
return ResultViewHolder(binding)
}
...
}
// In your activity/fragment, pass the view as a parameter when creating the adapter
adapter = ResultAdapter(this)
(In the adapter, I have removed the property mBinding and the constructor parameter context, as neither of them were necessary.)
Second, you are defining the property movie in your layout, but you are not setting it with an actual value. To fix this, you have to update your implementation of onBindViewHolder():
override fun onBindViewHolder(holder: ResultViewHolder, position: Int) {
val movie = getItem(position)
// Here we set the layout variable "movie" with its corresponding value
holder.itemActivitymainBinding.movie = movie
}
(Please note that here I have removed the code you had written to change the title of your textview because you should change it through data-binding in the layout by doing this: android:text="#{movie.mTitle}".)
With these changes, your implementation should hopefully work!

Kotlin recyclerviewer not showing data

Our problem is displaying records from a SQLite database on an activity. We are able to write data to the database we verified that the data is written with DBBrowser. The other part of this issue is the RecyclerAdapter. We have spent two days construction the syntax. The program flow is simple one line of EditText is saved then we navigate to the PersonActivity that should display the saved data.
In the PersonActivity we query the database for all records and return a contactList. Our Design is MVC, We will post the code below for the DBHelper and the RecyclerAdapter and the PersonActivity to display the data with the XML files involved. Also the Model Class.
class Contact{
var id: Int = 0
var name: String = ""
}
DBHelper insert data and queryAll DB is created no need for all the code
// Start of CRUD functions
fun insert(values: ContentValues): Long {
val Id = db!!.insert(dbTable, null, values)
return Id
}
fun queryAll(): List<Contact> {
val contactList = ArrayList<Contact>()
val selectQuery = "SELECT * FROM $dbTable"
val cursor = db!!.rawQuery(selectQuery, null)
if (cursor != null) {
if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
do {
val contact = Contact()
contact.id = Integer.parseInt(cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(colId)))
contact.name = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(colName))
contactList.add(contact)
} while (cursor.moveToNext())
}
}
cursor.close()
return contactList
}
RecyclerAdapter NOTE comments
class PersonRecyclerAdapter(val context:Context, val
items:List<Contact>):RecyclerView.Adapter<RecyclerView.ViewHolder>(){
override fun onCreateViewHolder(parent: ViewGroup, viewType: Int):
RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
return ViewHolder(LayoutInflater.from(context).inflate(R.layout.single_card, parent, false))
}
override fun getItemCount(): Int {
return items.size
}
override fun onBindViewHolder(viewHolder: RecyclerView.ViewHolder, position: Int) {
val item = items.get(position)
viewHolder.bindItem(item)
//viewHolder.itemName.text = items[position]
// WHAT IS CORRECT SYNTAX FOR LINE OF CODE ABOVE
}
private fun Any.bindItem(item: Contact) {
// AS Added this fun ?
}
class ViewHolder(view: View) : RecyclerView.ViewHolder(view) {
val itemName = view.tvName
}
}
PersonActivity that should display the contactList data
class PersonActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
private var rvRecyclerView: RecyclerView? = null
private var contactList:List<Contact> = ArrayList()
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
setContentView(R.layout.activity_person)
val names = contactList
rvRecyclerView?.layoutManager = LinearLayoutManager(this)
rvRecyclerView?.setHasFixedSize(true)
rvRecyclerView?.adapter = PersonRecyclerAdapter(this, names)
callHOME()
}
private fun callHOME(){
val db = DBHelper(this)
contactList = db.queryAll()
}
}

</LinearLayout>
Please understand we have looked at numerous code variations for this problem!
Before we ask for help. The Questions are two fold
How to show the data on the PersonActivity?
Is the PersonRecyclerAdapter syntax correct?
First of all callHOME() should be called before initializing names variable. That is:
class PersonActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
private var rvRecyclerView: RecyclerView? = null
private var contactList:List<Contact> = ArrayList()
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
setContentView(R.layout.activity_person)
callHOME()
val names = contactList
rvRecyclerView?.layoutManager = LinearLayoutManager(this)
rvRecyclerView?.setHasFixedSize(true)
rvRecyclerView?.adapter = PersonRecyclerAdapter(this, names)
}
private fun callHOME(){
val db = DBHelper(this)
contactList = db.queryAll()
}
You also extended your PersonalRecyclerAdapter class with wrong RecyclerView.Adapter<Recycler.ViewHolder> you have to use RecyclerView.Adapter<MyViewHolder>.
RecyclerView.Adapter with own ViewHolder as argument, not default view holder.
Using extension function here is overkill and unnecessary. Though could be used as follows..
class PersonRecyclerAdapter(val context:Context, val
items:List<Contact>):RecyclerView.Adapter<MyViewHolder>(){
override fun onCreateViewHolder(parent: ViewGroup, viewType: Int):
MyViewHolder {
return MyViewHolder(LayoutInflater.from(context).inflate(R.layout.single_card,parent, false))
}
override fun getItemCount(): Int {
return items.size
}
override fun onBindViewHolder(viewHolder: MyViewHolder, position:
Int) {
val item = items.get(position)
viewHolder.bindItem(item)
}
private fun MyViewHolder.bindItem(item: Contact) {
itemName.text = item.name
// or use
// itemView.findViewById<TextView>(R.id.tvName).text = item.name
}
}
class MyViewHolder(view: View) : RecyclerView.ViewHolder(view) {
val itemName = view.tvName
}
Instead just use this
class PersonRecyclerAdapter(val context:Context, val
items:List<Contact>):RecyclerView.Adapter<MyViewHolder>(){
override fun onCreateViewHolder(parent: ViewGroup, viewType: Int):
MyViewHolder { return MyViewHolder(LayoutInflater.from(context).inflate(R.layout.single_card, parent, false)) }
override fun getItemCount(): Int {
return items.size
}
override fun onBindViewHolder(viewHolder: MyViewHolder, position: Int) {
val item = items.get(position)
viewHolder.itemName.text = items[position].name
// or use
// viewHolder.itemView.findViewById<TextView>(R.id.tvName).text = item.name
}
}
class MyViewHolder(view: View) : RecyclerView.ViewHolder(view) {
val itemName = view.tvName
}
First off #kumarshivang made some very good suggestions about how to construct RecyclerAdapter and his best point was not to use the inner class. So I will post code here that uses a much cleaner code design for a RecyclerAdapter. Though even with a better constructed RecyclerAdapter our problem of not seeing the stored data was not solved. Because we knew that the data was in the database logic would tell us two things were wrong either the data had no container to show the view OR the data was not available YEP it was the latter and this one line of code in PersonActivity is what was missing.
listItems = db.queryAll()
Here is the cleaner RecyclerAdapter (OFF to the Refactor FACTORY we GO)
Notice the word "card" the author used a CardView widget to display data in the RecyclerView widget.
class HabitsAdapter(val habits:List<Habit>): RecyclerView.Adapter<HabitsAdapter.HabitViewHolder>() {
class HabitViewHolder(val card:View):RecyclerView.ViewHolder(card)
override fun onBindViewHolder(holder: HabitViewHolder, index: Int) {
if(holder != null){
val habit = habits[index]
holder.card.tvTitle.text = habit.title
holder.card.tvDescription.text = habit.description
holder.card.ivINsingle_card.setImageBitmap(habit.image)
}
}
override fun onCreateViewHolder(parent: ViewGroup, viewType: Int): HabitViewHolder {
val view = LayoutInflater.from(parent.context).inflate(R.layout.single_card, parent,false)
return HabitViewHolder(view)
}
override fun getItemCount(): Int {
return habits.size
}
}

setOnLongClickListener in android with kotlin

How can I use setOnItemClickListner in each item in my ListView?
my xml :
<ListView
android:id="#+id/tv1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
</ListView>
this my adapter class
inner class mo3d1Adapter : BaseAdapter {
override fun getItemId(p0: Int): Long {
return p0.toLong()
}
override fun getCount(): Int {
return listOfmo3d.size
}
var listOfMkabala = ArrayList<MeetingDetails>()
var context: Context? = null
constructor(context: Context, listOfMkabaln: ArrayList<MeetingDetails>) : super() {
this.listOfMkabala = listOfMkabaln
this.context = context
}
override fun getView(p0: Int, p1: View?, p2: ViewGroup?): View {
val mo3d = listOfmo3d[p0]
var inflatormo3d = context!!.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE) as LayoutInflater
var myViewmo3d = inflatormo3d.inflate(R.layout.fragment_item, null)
lvMo3d.onItemClickListener = AdapterView.OnItemClickListener { adapterView, view, i, l ->
Toast.makeText(context, " TEST STACK ", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show()
}
myViewmo3d.meeting_name.text = mo3d.name1!!
myViewmo3d.meeting_date.text = mo3d.date.toString()!!
myViewmo3d.attendance_number.text = mo3d.n2.toString()!!
return myViewmo3d
}
override fun getItem(p0: Int): Any {
return listOfmo3d[p0]
}
}
I want listener for each item in my ListView
And when I used this method setOnClickListener in adapter it's not working, where can I use?
Try this in your activity class
lv.setOnItemClickListener { parent, view, position, id ->
Toast.makeText(this, "Position Clicked:"+" "+position,Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
}
Although a little quirky this works fine for me.
latestMessagesAdapter.setOnItemLongClickListener { item, view ->
val row = item as LatestMessageRow
return#setOnItemLongClickListener(true)
}
First of all I would like to tell that it is RecyclerView rather than ListView. You can find plenty information why to do in such. For example you can read it hear :
RecyclerView vs. ListView
Regarding your question how to do it in correct way with RecyclerView.
Insert dependencies with RecyclerView, they are now in support library in Kotlin.
implementation "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.4.0"
First change your ListView with RecyclerView in xml layout like this:
<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
android:id="#+id/accountList"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
/>
Create Adapter for RecyclerView:
class AccountListAdapter(val accountList: AccountList, val itemListener: (Account) -> Unit) :
RecyclerView.Adapter<AccountListAdapter.ViewHolder>(){
override fun getItemCount(): Int = accountList.size
override fun onBindViewHolder(holder: ViewHolder, position: Int) =
holder.bind(accountList[position])
override fun onCreateViewHolder(parent: ViewGroup, viewType: Int): ViewHolder{
val view = LayoutInflater.from(parent.context).inflate(R.layout.item_account, parent, false)
return ViewHolder(view, itemListener)
}
class ViewHolder(itemView: View, val itemClick: (Account) -> Unit): RecyclerView.ViewHolder(itemView){
fun bind(account : Account){
with(account){
itemView.accountName.text = title
itemView.setOnClickListener{ itemClick(this)}
}
}
}
}
item_account.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/accountName"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</LinearLayout>
Models (in Kotlin you can put them in one file and name for example AccountModels.kt) :
data class AccountList(val accounts: List<Account>){
val size : Int
get() = accounts.size
operator fun get(position: Int) = accounts[position]
}
data class Account(val id : Long, val title : String, val balance : Int, val defCurrency: Int)
In Fragment/Activity connect your Adapter to RecyclerView:
override fun onStart() {
super.onStart()
setupAdapter()
}
fun setupAdapter(){
Log.d(TAG, "updating ui..")
val account1 = Account(1,"Credit", 1000, 2)
val account2 = Account(2, "Debit", 500, 2)
val account3 = Account(3, "Cash", 7000, 2)
val accounts : List<Account> = listOf(account1, account2, account3)
val adapter = AccountListAdapter(AccountList(accounts)){
val title = it.title
Log.d(TAG, "$title clicked")
}
accountList.layoutManager = LinearLayoutManager(activity)
accountList.adapter = adapter
}
That is all. Everything should work now. Hope it helps.
