Fragment in a Adapter of RecyclerView JAVA

I have a fragment Users which has 3 other fragments in it (tabs). For one tab ( called Friends2Fragment ) I made a recycler View and made an adapter for it. In each item of RecyclerView I have a button "Add friend" and I want to call it from Friends2Fragment, not to call it from the adapter because I can't use Firestore Database properly.
RecyclerViewInterface:
public interface RecyclerViewInterface {
void onItemClick(int position, String button_pressed);
}
Friends2Fragment.java :
public void onStart(){
super.onStart();
recyclerView = (RecyclerView) v.findViewById(R.id.recycler);
recyclerView.setHasFixedSize(true);
recyclerView.setLayoutManager(new LinearLayoutManager(getActivity()));
friendslist = new ArrayList<>();
myAdapter = new MyAdapter(friendslist,v.getContext());
recyclerView.setAdapter(myAdapter);
------ Firestore operations ------
}
#Override
public void onItemClick(int position, String button_pressed) {
switch ( button_pressed ){
case "ADD_FRIEND":
Log.d(TAG, "item clicked: " + friendslist.get(position).username);
}
}
MyAdapter.java :
public class MyAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<MyAdapter.myViewHolder> {
Context context;
public ArrayList<User> userArrayList;
public MyAdapter(ArrayList<User> userArrayList, Context context) {
this.userArrayList = userArrayList;
this.context = context;
}
public Context getContext() {
return context;
}
public ArrayList<User> getUserArrayList() {
return userArrayList;
}
#NonNull
#Override
public MyAdapter.myViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(#NonNull ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
View v = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.item, parent, false);
MyAdapter.myViewHolder myViewHolder = new MyAdapter.myViewHolder(v);
myViewHolder.itemView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
((Friends2Fragment)context).onItemClick(myViewHolder.getAdapterPosition(),"ADD_FRIEND");
}
});
return myViewHolder;
}
#Override
public void onBindViewHolder(#NonNull MyAdapter.myViewHolder holder, int position) {
User user = userArrayList.get(position);
holder.usernamerecycle.setText(user.username);
}
#Override
public int getItemCount() {
return userArrayList.size();
}
public void filterList(List<User> filteredList){
userArrayList = (ArrayList<User>) filteredList;
notifyDataSetChanged();
}
public class myViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder{
TextView usernamerecycle;
Button addbutton;
View rootview;
public myViewHolder(#NonNull View itemView) {
super(itemView);
rootview = itemView;
usernamerecycle = itemView.findViewById(R.id.usernamerecycler);
addbutton = itemView.findViewById(R.id.addfriendbutton);
}
}
}
The problem is at this line : ((Friends2Fragment)context).onItemClick(myViewHolder.getAdapterPosition(),"ADD_FRIEND"); in onCreateViewHolder method in MyAdapter.
I have this error : Inconvertible types; cannot cast 'android.content.Context' to 'com.example.birthday.Fragments.Friends2Fragment'
Please help me ..

A Fragment isn't a Context (that's not one of its supertypes) so that cast is impossible, that's why you're getting the error.
I think you should organise it like this: your Adapter holds a bunch of User objects, right? It displays those, and you have a click listener on each ViewHolder that knows which index in the User list it's currently displaying, and it wants to inform some listener when it's clicked. That index is an internal detail really, it would make more sense to look up the actual User, and provide that to the listener.
The simplest way is to just provide your fragment as a listener. First store it in your adapter:
public class MyAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<MyAdapter.myViewHolder> {
// store a reference to your fragment
private Friends2Fragment listener;
// add a function to provide that fragment
public void setListener(Friends2Fragment: listener) {
this.listener = listener
}
...
public MyAdapter.myViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(#NonNull ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
...
myViewHolder.itemView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
if (listener != null) {
// look up the actual user
User user = userArrayList.get(myViewHolder.getAdapterPosition());
// call a function on your fragment
listener.onItemClick(user, "ADD_FRIEND");
}
}
});
}
Then add the callback function your adapter uses, and also set your fragment on the adapter as a listener:
// Friends2Fragment
// You should REALLY be doing this in onViewCreated or something, so this setup happens once.
// You're losing all your state by creating a new adapter whenever the user returns to the app
public void onStart(){
...
myAdapter = new MyAdapter(friendslist,v.getContext());
// set the fragment as the listener
myAdapter.setListener(this);
recyclerView.setAdapter(myAdapter);
}
// now add the function the adapter calls
private void onItemClick(User user, String someString) {
// handle the clicked user
}
A better way is to create an interface with all the events that need to be handled, and make your Fragment implement those. It breaks the hard association with the Fragment since you could pass any object that implements those functions, and it's also clearer because the interface kinda documents all the data the adapter produces, and that a listener needs to be able to handle. Something like this:
public class MyAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<MyAdapter.myViewHolder> {
// the listener is now something that implements the Callbacks interface
private Callbacks listener;
...
// nesting it inside MyAdapter makes the path MyAdapter.Callbacks, which makes it clear
// exactly what it is and what it relates to, and kinda gives the Adapter "ownership"
interface Callbacks {
void addFriend(User user)
}
And then you just make the Fragment implement that interface
public class Friends2Fragment() extends Fragment implements MyAdapter.Callbacks {
...
// implement all the callbacks you need to handle
override public void addFriend(User user) {
// do the thing
}
// set it in the same way, since this Fragment implements MyAdapter.Callbacks
myAdapter.setListener(this);
Which is a bit neater and cleaner, I think - but slightly more work. Also if you notice, I renamed the callback function from the generic handleItemClick to the more specific addFriend - so instead of having to pass a String saying what kind of click it is, you just have a function for each event you want to handle, and you can name them appropriately

how to set color the selected Item of Recycler View From Activity? [duplicate]

How to change the background color of only selected view in my recycle view example?only the background color of clicked itemview needs to be changed.
Only one selected item must be displayed with background color change at a time and the rest needs to be as before selecting.
here is my code :
MainActivity
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
RecyclerView rv1;
private final String android_versions[]={
"Donut",
"Eclair",
"Froyo",
"Gingerbread",
"Honeycomb",
"Ice Cream Sandwich",
"Jelly Bean",
"KitKat",
"Lollipop",
"Marshmallow"
};
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
initViews();
}
private void initViews(){
rv1=(RecyclerView)findViewById(R.id.recyclerView1);
rv1.setHasFixedSize(true);
RecyclerView.LayoutManager layoutManager=new LinearLayoutManager(getApplicationContext());
rv1.setLayoutManager(layoutManager);
RecyclerDataAdapter rda=new RecyclerDataAdapter(rv1,getApplicationContext(),android_versions);
rv1.setAdapter(rda);
}
}
RecyclerDataadapter
public class RecyclerDataAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<RecyclerDataAdapter.ViewHolder> {
private String android_versionnames[];
private Context context1;
private RecyclerView mRecyclerView;
public RecyclerDataAdapter(RecyclerView recylcerView,Context context,String android_versionnames[]){
this.android_versionnames=android_versionnames;
this.context1=context;
mRecyclerView=recylcerView;
setHasStableIds(true);
System.out.println("Inside dataadapter,Android names : \n ");
for(int i=0;i<android_versionnames.length;i++){
System.out.println("\n"+android_versionnames[i]);
}
}
#Override
public ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
View view= LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.row_layout,parent,false);
return new ViewHolder(view);
}
#Override
public void onBindViewHolder(final ViewHolder holder, int position) {
holder.tv1.setText(android_versionnames[position]);
}
#Override
public int getItemCount() {
return android_versionnames.length;
}
public class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
private TextView tv1;
LinearLayout row_linearlayout;
RecyclerView rv2;
public ViewHolder(final View itemView) {
super(itemView);
tv1=(TextView)itemView.findViewById(R.id.txtView1);
row_linearlayout=(LinearLayout)itemView.findViewById(R.id.row_linrLayout);
rv2=(RecyclerView)itemView.findViewById(R.id.recyclerView1);
/*itemView.setBackgroundColor(0x00000000);//to transparent*/
}
}
}

Finally, I got the answer.
public void onBindViewHolder(final ViewHolder holder, final int position) {
holder.tv1.setText(android_versionnames[position]);
holder.row_linearlayout.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
row_index=position;
notifyDataSetChanged();
}
});
if(row_index==position){
holder.row_linearlayout.setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#567845"));
holder.tv1.setTextColor(Color.parseColor("#ffffff"));
}
else
{
holder.row_linearlayout.setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#ffffff"));
holder.tv1.setTextColor(Color.parseColor("#000000"));
}
}
here 'row_index' is set as '-1' initially
public class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
private TextView tv1;
LinearLayout row_linearlayout;
RecyclerView rv2;
public ViewHolder(final View itemView) {
super(itemView);
tv1=(TextView)itemView.findViewById(R.id.txtView1);
row_linearlayout=(LinearLayout)itemView.findViewById(R.id.row_linrLayout);
rv2=(RecyclerView)itemView.findViewById(R.id.recyclerView1);
}
}

A really simple way to achieve this would be:
//instance variable
List<View>itemViewList = new ArrayList<>();
//OnCreateViewHolderMethod
#Override
public MyViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
final View itemView = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.list_row, parent, false);
final MyViewHolder myViewHolder = new MyViewHolder(itemView);
itemViewList.add(itemView); //to add all the 'list row item' views
//Set on click listener for each item view
itemView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
for(View tempItemView : itemViewList) {
/** navigate through all the itemViews and change color
of selected view to colorSelected and rest of the views to colorDefault **/
if(itemViewList.get(myViewHolder.getAdapterPosition()) == tempItemView) {
tempItemView.setBackgroundResource(R.color.colorSelected);
}
else{
tempItemView.setBackgroundResource(R.color.colorDefault);
}
}
}
});
return myViewHolder;
}
UPDATE
The method above may ruin some default attributes of the itemView, in my case, i was using CardView, and the corner radius of the card was getting removed on click.
Better solution:
//instance variable
List<CardView>cardViewList = new ArrayList<>();
public class MyViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
CardView cardView; //THIS IS MY ROOT VIEW
...
public MyViewHolder(View view) {
super(view);
cardView = view.findViewById(R.id.row_item_card);
...
}
}
#Override
public void onBindViewHolder(final MyViewHolder holder, int position) {
final OurLocationObject locationObject = locationsList.get(position);
...
cardViewList.add(holder.cardView); //add all the cards to this list
holder.cardView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
//All card color is set to colorDefault
for(CardView cardView : cardViewList){
cardView.setCardBackgroundColor(context.getResources().getColor(R.color.colorDefault));
}
//The selected card is set to colorSelected
holder.cardView.setCardBackgroundColor(context.getResources().getColor(R.color.colorSelected));
}
});
}
UPDATE 2 - IMPORTANT
onBindViewHolder method is called multiple times, and also every time the user scrolls the view out of sight and back in sight!
This will cause the same view to be added to the list multiple times which may cause problems and minor delay in code executions!
To fix this,
change
cardViewList.add(holder.cardView);
to
if (!cardViewList.contains(holder.cardView)) {
cardViewList.add(holder.cardView);
}

I can suggest this solution, which I used in my app. I've placed this code of onTouchListener in my ViewHolder class's constructor. itemView is constructor's argument. Be sure to use return false on this method because this need for working OnClickListener
itemView.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {
#Override
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
if(event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN)
{
v.setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#f0f0f0"));
}
if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP || event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_CANCEL)
{
v.setBackgroundColor(Color.TRANSPARENT);
}
return false;
}
});

Create Drawable file in Drawable foloder
<item android:drawable="#color/SelectedColor" android:state_pressed="true"></item>
<item android:drawable="#color/SelectedColor" android:state_selected="true"></item>
<item android:drawable="#color/DefultColor"></item>
And in xml file
android:background="#drawable/Drawable file"
In RecyclerView onBindViewHolder
holder.button.setSelected(holder.button.isSelected()?true:false);
Like toggle button

I was able to change the selected view color like this. I think this is the SIMPLE WAY (because you don't have to create instance of layouts and variables.
MAKE SURE YOU DONT GIVE ANY BACKGROUND COLOR INSIDE YOUR RECYCLER VIEW's TAG.
holder.itemView.setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#8DFFFFFF"));
onBindViewHolder() method is given below
#Override
public void onBindViewHolder(#NonNull final MyViewHolder holder, final int position) {
holder.item_1.setText(list_items.get(position).item_1);
holder.item_2.setText(list_items.get(position).item_2);
holder.select_cb.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new CompoundButton.OnCheckedChangeListener() {
#Override
public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton buttonView, boolean isChecked) {
if (isChecked){
holder.itemView.setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#8DFFFFFF"));
}else {
holder.itemView.setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#FFFFFF"));
}
}
});
}

What I did to achieve this was actually taking a static variable to store the last clicked position of the item in the RecyclerView and then notify the adapter to update the layout at the position on the last clicked position i.e. notifyItemChanged(lastClickedPosition) whenever a new position is clicked. Calling notifyDataSetChanged() on the whole layout is very costly and unfeasible so doing this for only one position is much better.
Here's the code for this:
public class RecyclerDataAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<RecyclerDataAdapter.ViewHolder> {
private String android_versionnames[];
private Context mContext;
private static lastClickedPosition = -1; // Variable to store the last clicked item position
public RecyclerDataAdapter(Context context,String android_versionnames[]){
this.android_versionnames = android_versionnames;
this.mContext = context;
}
}
#Override
public ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
View view = LayoutInflater.from(mContext).inflate(R.layout.row_layout,
parent, false);
return new ViewHolder(view);
}
#Override
public void onBindViewHolder(final ViewHolder holder, int position) {
holder.tv1.setText(android_versionnames[position]);
holder.itemView.setBackgroundColor(mContext.getResources().
getColor(R.color.cardview_light_background));
holder.itemView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
v.setBackgroundColor(mContext.getResources().
getColor(R.color.dark_background));
if (lastClickedPosition != -1)
notifyItemChanged(lastClickedPosition);
lastClickedPosition = position;
}
});
}
#Override
public int getItemCount() {
return android_versionnames.length;
}
public class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
private TextView tv1;
public ViewHolder(final View itemView) {
super(itemView);
tv1=(TextView)itemView.findViewById(R.id.txtView1);
}
}
}
So we will be actually updating only the intended item and not re-running unnecessary updates to the items which have not even been changed.

If you use kotlin, it's really simple.
In your RecyclerAdapter class
userV.invalidateRecycler()
holder.card_User.setCardBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#3eb1ae").withAlpha(60))
In your fragment or Activity
override fun invalidateRecycler() {
if (v1.recyclerCompanies.childCount > 0) {
v1.recyclerCompanies.childrenRecursiveSequence().iterator().forEach { card ->
if (card is CardView) {
card.setCardBackgroundColor(Color.WHITE)
}
}
}
}

There is a very simple solution to this, you don't have to work in the adapter. To change the background of a clicked item in the RecyclerView you need to catch the click in the adapter using an iterface:
interface ItemClickListener {
fun onItemClickListener(item: Item, position: Int)
}
When we click we will get the item and the items position. In our bind function in the adapter we will set the on click listener:
container.setOnClickListener {
onClickListener.onItemClickListener(item, position)
}
In your activity you will then implement this interface:
class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity(), ItemAdapter.ItemClickListener {
Next we need to implement the background changing logic on item click. The logic is this: when the user clicks on an item, we check if the background on the clicked item is white (the item is not previously clicked) and if this condition is true, we change the background on all of the items in the RecyclerView to white (to invalidate previously clicked and marked items if there are any) and then change the background color of the clicked item to teal to mark it. And if the background of the clicked item is teal (which means the user clicks again on the same previously marked item), we change the background color on all of the items to white. First we will need to get our item background color as a ColorDrawable. We will use an iterator function to go through all of the items (children) of the RecyclerView and forEach() function to change the background on everyone of them. This method will look like this:
override fun onItemClickListener(item: Item, position: Int) {
val itemBackground: ColorDrawable =
binding.recycler[position].background as ColorDrawable
if (itemBackground.color == ContextCompat.getColor(this, R.color.white)) {
binding.recycler.children.iterator().forEach { item ->
item.setBackgroundColor(
ContextCompat.getColor(
this,
R.color.white
)
)
}
binding.recycler[position].setBackgroundColor(
ContextCompat.getColor(this, R.color.teal_200)
)
} else {
binding.recycler.children.iterator().forEach { item ->
item.setBackgroundColor(
ContextCompat.getColor(
this,
R.color.white
)
)
}
}
}
So now you change the background on item click, if you click the same item, you will change the background back to what it was before.

My solution:
public static class SimpleItemRecyclerViewAdapter
extends RecyclerView.Adapter<SimpleItemRecyclerViewAdapter.ViewHolder> {
private final MainActivity mParentActivity;
private final List<DummyContent.DummyItem> mValues;
private final boolean mTwoPane;
private static int lastClickedPosition=-1;
**private static View viewOld=null;**
private final View.OnClickListener mOnClickListener = new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
DummyContent.DummyItem item = (DummyContent.DummyItem) view.getTag();
if (mTwoPane) {
Bundle arguments = new Bundle();
arguments.putString(ItemDetailFragment.ARG_ITEM_ID, item.id);
ItemDetailFragment fragment = new ItemDetailFragment();
fragment.setArguments(arguments);
mParentActivity.getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
.replace(R.id.item_detail_container, fragment)
.commit();
} else {
Context context = view.getContext();
Intent intent = new Intent(context, ItemDetailActivity.class);
intent.putExtra(ItemDetailFragment.ARG_ITEM_ID, item.id);
context.startActivity(intent);
}
**view.setBackgroundColor(mParentActivity.getResources().getColor(R.color.SelectedColor));
if(viewOld!=null)
viewOld.setBackgroundColor(mParentActivity.getResources().getColor(R.color.DefaultColor));
viewOld=view;**
}
};
viewOld is null at the beginning, then points to the last selected view.
With onClick you change the background of the selected view and redefine the background of the penultimate view selected.
Simple and functional.

In your adapter class make Integer variable as index and assign it to "0" (if you want to select 1st item by default, if not assign "-1").Then on your onBindViewHolder method,
#Override
public void onBindViewHolder(#NonNull final ViewHolder holder, final int position) {
holder.texttitle.setText(listTitle.get(position));
holder.itemView.setTag(listTitle.get(position));
holder.texttitle.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
index = position;
notifyDataSetChanged();
}
});
if (index == position)
holder.texttitle.setTextColor(mContext.getResources().getColor(R.color.selectedColor));
else
holder.texttitle.setTextColor(mContext.getResources().getColor(R.color.unSelectedColor));
}
Thats it and you are good to go.in If condition true section place your selected color or what ever you need, and else section place unselected color or what ever.

Calling Notifydatasetchanged May be expensive when you need to change one item We can overcome by saving the old position and call notifyItemChanged
var old_postion=-1
public void onBindViewHolder(final ViewHolder holder, final int position) {
holder.tv1.setText(android_versionnames[position]);
holder.row_linearlayout.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
notifyItemChanged(old_position)
//After item change happens set the old_postion as current position
old_position=position
}
});
if(old_position==position){
holder.row_linearlayout.setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#567845"));
holder.tv1.setTextColor(Color.parseColor("#ffffff"));
}
else
{
holder.row_linearlayout.setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#ffffff"));
holder.tv1.setTextColor(Color.parseColor("#000000"));
}
}

Create a selector into Drawable folder:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_pressed="true">
<shape>
<solid android:color="#color/blue" />
</shape>
</item>
<item android:state_pressed="false">
<shape>
<solid android:color="#android:color/transparent" />
</shape>
</item>
</selector>
Add the property into your xml (where you declare the RecyclerView):
android:background="#drawable/selector"

Add click listener for item view in .onBindViewHolder() of your RecyclerView's adapter. get currently selected position and change color by .setBackground() for previously selected and current item

Most Simpler Way From My Side is to Add a variable in adapterPage as last Clicked Position.
in onBindViewHolder paste this code which checks for last stored position matched with loading positions
Constants is the class where i declare my global variables
if(Constants.LAST_SELECTED_POSITION_SINGLE_PRODUCT == position) {
//change the view background here
holder.colorVariantThumb.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.selected_background);
}
//on view click you store the position value and notifyItemRangeChanged will
// call the onBindViewHolder and will check the condition
holder.itemView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view){
Constants.LAST_SELECTED_POSITION_SINGLE_PRODUCT=position;
notifyItemRangeChanged(0, mColorVariants.size());
}
});

I managed to do this from my Activity where i'm setting my Rv and not from the adapter
If someone need to do something similar here's the code
In this case the color changes on a logClick
#Override
public void onLongClick(View view, int position) {
Toast.makeText(UltimasConsultasActivity.this, "Item agregado a la lista de mails",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
sendMultipleMails.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
valueEmail.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
itemsSeleccionados.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
listaEmails.add(superListItems.get(position));
listaItems ="";
NameOfyourRecyclerInActivity.findViewHolderForAdapterPosition(position).NameOfYourViewInTheViewholder.setBackgroundColor((Color.parseColor("#336F0D")));
for(int itemsSelect = 0; itemsSelect <= listaEmails.size() -1; itemsSelect++){
listaItems += "*"+listaEmails.get(itemsSelect).getDescripcion() + "\n";
}
itemsSeleccionados.setText("Items Seleccionados : "+ "\n" + listaItems);
}
}));

My Solution
With my solution I'm not using notifyDataSetChanged(), because annoying whenever item is clicked, all the items from list got refreshed. To tackle this problem, I used notifyItemChanged(position); This will only change the selected item.
Below I have added the code of my omBindViewHolder.
private int previousPosition = -1;
private SingleViewItemBinding previousView;
#Override
public void onBindViewHolder(#NonNull final ItemViewHolder holder, final int position) {
holder.viewBinding.setItem(itemList.get(position));
holder.viewBinding.rlContainerMain.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
clickRecyclerView.clickRecyclerItem(position, 0);
previousPosition = position;
notifyItemChanged(position);
if(previousView != null){
previousView.rlContainerMain.setBackgroundColor(
ContextCompat.getColor(context, R.color.colorGrayLight));
}
}
});
if(position == previousPosition){
previousView = holder.viewBinding;
holder.viewBinding.rlContainerMain.setBackgroundColor(
ContextCompat.getColor(context, R.color.colorPrimary));
}
else {
holder.viewBinding.rlContainerMain.setBackgroundColor(
ContextCompat.getColor(context, R.color.colorGrayLight));
}
}

in the Kotlin you can do this simply:
all you need is to create a static variable like this:
companion object {
var last_position = 0
}
then in your onBindViewHolder add this code:
holder.item.setOnClickListener{
holder.item.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.selected_item)
notifyItemChanged(last_position)
last_position=position
}
which item is the child of recyclerView which you want to change its background after clicking on it.

I made this implementation in kotlin I thing is not very efficient but works
ivIsSelected is a ImageView that represent in my case a check mark
var selectedItems = mutableListOf<Int>(-1)
override fun onBindViewHolder(holder: ContactViewHolder, position: Int) {
// holder.setData(ContactViewModel, position) // I'm passing this to the ViewHolder
holder.itemView.setBackgroundColor(Color.WHITE)
holder.itemView.ivIsSelected.visibility = INVISIBLE
selectedItems.forEach {
if (it == position) {
holder.itemView.setBackgroundColor(Color.argb(45, 0, 255, 43))
holder.itemView.ivIsSelected.visibility = VISIBLE
}
}
holder.itemView.setOnClickListener { it ->
it.setBackgroundColor(Color.BLUE)
selectedItems.add(position)
selectedItems.forEach { selectedItem -> // this forEach is required to refresh all the list
notifyItemChanged(selectedItem)
}
}
}

A faster and simpler way is saving the previous View element selected, so you don't have to use notifyDataSetChanged() or notifyItemChanged(position).
First, add an instance variable inside your Adapter (RecyclerDataAdapter):
View prevElement;
Then, inside your function onClick() (or in my case the lambda function version) you insert this:
holder.itemView.setOnClickListener(v -> {
// CODE TO INSERT
if (prevElement != null)
prevElement.setBackgroundColor(Color.TRANSPARENT);
v.setBackgroundColor(R.color.selected);
prevElement = v;
// DO SOMETHING
...
});
As you can see, the first thing done is checking if the prevElement is not null (an element was clicked before this), so we change its background color to Color.TRANSPARENT (even if it's the same element clicked twice). Then, we set the background color of the View element clicked (v) is changed to R.color.selected. Finally set the element clicked to the prevElement variable, so it can be modified in the next click action.

The response from #Sudhanshu Vohra above was the best in my case and much simpler.
I did minor changes to handle the new selection and previous selection to adjust the display.
I modified it as:
//Handle selected item and previous selection
if (lastSelectedIndex != -1) {
notifyItemChanged(lastSelectedIndex);
}
notifyItemChanged(bindingAdapterPosition);
lastSelectedIndex = bindingAdapterPosition;
Now I refresh only two items, rather than the entire list and it works like a charm. Thank you.

I got it like this
public void onClick(View v){
v.findViewById(R.id.textView).setBackgroundColor(R.drawable.selector_row);
}
Thanks

я не знаю на сколько это поможет но я типа так сделал:) в адаптере #Override public void onBindViewHolder(#NonNull NoteViewHolder holder, int position) { holder.bind(sortedList.get(position)); holder.itemView.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.bacground_button); }

Recyclerview onClick returns wrong view

I have a RecyclerView that holds 10 or so views. Each view represents a course, which is stored in an ArrayList. Each Course has an enum "State" which controls coloring and ensures that only one course can be selected at a time. This worked perfectly until I unknowingly made a small change, and didn't realize until a day or more later.
Now, clicking on a course will cause the onClick() method to receive the wrong view, usually 4 or 5 more to the right. This view won't even necessarily be displayed by the RecyclerView at the time of the click, which will mean that the coloring cannot be updated correctly and big problems are caused down the line.
Here's the Fragment:
#Override
public void onViewCreated(View view, #Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState);
mAdapter = new CoursesAdapter(courseList, context);
mRecyclerView = (RecyclerView) view.findViewById(R.id.courses_recyclerView);
RecyclerView.LayoutManager layoutManager = new LinearLayoutManager(context, LinearLayoutManager.HORIZONTAL, false);
mRecyclerView.setLayoutManager(layoutManager);
mRecyclerView.setAdapter(mAdapter);
mAdapter.setOnCourseClickListener(new CoursesAdapter.OnCourseClickListener() {
#Override
public void onCourseClick(Course course) {
//TODO when the course is clicked the course will be passed.
Log.e("TESTING ******", " Course Clicked " + course.name);
if ( currentCourse!=null) {
previousSelection = currentCourse;
previousSelection.setStates(ButtonStates.UNSELECTED);
}
currentCourse=course;
currentCourse.setStates(ButtonStates.SELECTED);
//refreshCourses();
//TODO broadcast Course change.
Intent intent = new Intent(COURSE_SELECTED);
context.sendBroadcast(intent);
}
#Override
public void onCourseDoubleClick(Course course) {
//TODO when the course is double clicked the course will be passed.
}
});
}
The Course passed to the onClick() is always wrong. State control is done at the fragment level, since a RecyclerView adapter would recycle a "selected" view to a non-selected view at times. Often, onBindViewHolder() will not run after a course has been selected, and since the switch statement used to check the states of buttons and update them is done in the adapter, colors are not updated properly.
Here's the adapter:
#Override
public holder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
//LayoutInflater.from(context).inflate(R.layout.course_layout, parent);
return new holder(new CourseRaceButton(context));
}
#Override
public void onBindViewHolder(final holder holder, final int position) {
currentCourse = courses.get(position);
holder.button.setData(courses.get(position), true);
if (!initialised) {
if (position == 0) {
OnCourseClickListener.onCourseClick(currentCourse);
selectedCourseView = holder.button;
}
initialised = true;
}
switch (currentCourse.getStates()) {
case UNSELECTED:
holder.button.colourAsDeselected();
break;
case SELECTED:
holder.button.colourAsSelected();
//selectedCourseView = holder.button;
break;
}
}
#Override
public int getItemCount() {
return courses.size();
}
public interface OnCourseClickListener {
void onCourseClick(Course course);
void onCourseDoubleClick(Course course);
}
public class holder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder implements View.OnClickListener {
CourseRaceButton button;
public holder(CourseRaceButton view) {
super(view);
view.setOnClickListener(this);
button = view;
}
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Log.e("TESTING ******", " ON TOUCH COURSE ");
if (OnCourseClickListener != null) {
OnCourseClickListener.onCourseClick(currentCourse);
}
notifyDataSetChanged();
}
}
My natural reaction is to put notifyDataSetChanged() in the fragment level onClick() in order to properly update the colors, but that gives illegalState exception and would never stop the onClick() returning the wrong course.

The issue is in your onClick() method. You shouldn't be passing currentCourse as a param, as that variable will be storing the course of the last recycled view(last call to onBindViewHolder()), and not the one you clicked upon.
Try this line instead:
OnCourseClickListener.onCourseClick(courses.get(getAdapterPosition()));

Add item to RecyclerView dynamically

I want to be able to add items to my ReclycerView dynamically.
When an item loads -> setText() -> I add another item on list.
#Override
public void onBindViewHolder(ViewHolder holder, final int position) {
final Message message = mDataset.get(position);
if(message.isAnswers()) {
holder.mAnswer1Button.setText(message.getAnswer1());
holder.mAnswer2Button.setText(message.getAnswer2());
holder.mAnswer1Button.setOnClickListener(v -> {
if(message.getChild1() > 0) {
add(position + 1, dataListShared.get(message.getChild1()));
holder.mAnswer1Button.setClickable(false);
holder.mAnswer2Button.setEnabled(false);
}
});
} else {
holder.mMessageTextView.setText(message.getMessage());
if(message.getChild1() > 0) {
add(position + 1, dataListShared.get(message.getChild1()));
holder.mMessageTextView.setEnabled(false);
}
}
}
This is what I have inside onBindViewHolder. When I am on the first case if(), and I click the button, the item is added to the list. On the second Case else(), I would like for the text to be set on this current item and than already add another one.
How can I achieve this?
Moreover, why add() works inside onClickListener but not outside of it?
The error I get is:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot call this method while RecyclerView is computing a layout or scrolling
Thanks! :)

The error itself is self explanatory ... It is dangerous to setOnClickListener in onBindViewHolder. This method is step of refresh each recycler item.
You should move method setOnClickListener to ViewHolder which is inner class on your adapter.
class MyViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder
{
private final OnClickListener mOnClickListener = new MyOnClickListener();
Button mAnswer1Button, mAnswer2Button;
public MyViewHolder (View itemView) {
super(itemView);
mAnswer1Button = (Button) itemView.findViewById(R.id.item);
mAnswer2Button = (Button) itemView.findViewById(R.id.item);
mAnswer1Button.setOnClickListener(mOnClickListener);
}
#Override
public void onClick(final View view) {
//Now your Logic ....
}
}
One more thing you could do is set Create an interface OnItemClickListener
and declare onItemClick and then make the activity from where you are setting up the adapter for the particular recycler view implment OnItemClickListener this and over there you can dynamically add another item and setAdapter again or notifyDataSetChanged()
Your InterFace
public interface OnItemClickListener{
public void onItemClick(int position);
}
Your MainActivity
class MainActivity implements OnItemClickListener{
RecyclerView mRecyclerView ;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
setContentView(R.layout.layout);
mRecyclerView = (RecyclerView ) findViewById(R.id.recyclerview);
mAdapter= new MyAdapter(ArrayList, getContext(), MainActivity.this);
}
#Overrride
public void onItemClick(int position)
{
//Now your Logic ....
}
}
Now you can call this method onItemClick from the Adpater clas by setting onClickListener mAnswer1Button in the ViewHolder class and calling this method with in the onClick

As commented, I think it should work like this:
private int position;
#Override
public void onBindViewHolder(ViewHolder holder, final int position) {
this.position = position;
}
#Override
public void onViewAttachedToWindow(ViewHolder holder) {
final Message message = mDataset.get(position);
if(message.isAnswers()) {
holder.mAnswer1Button.setText(message.getAnswer1());
holder.mAnswer2Button.setText(message.getAnswer2());
holder.mAnswer1Button.setOnClickListener(v -> {
if(message.getChild1() > 0) {
add(position + 1, dataListShared.get(message.getChild1()));
holder.mAnswer1Button.setClickable(false);
holder.mAnswer2Button.setEnabled(false);
}
});
} else {
holder.mMessageTextView.setText(message.getMessage());
if(message.getChild1() > 0) {
add(position + 1, dataListShared.get(message.getChild1()));
holder.mMessageTextView.setEnabled(false);
}
}
}
In onBindViewHolder(), you apparently cannot change the dataset - I guess as the framework is still busy displaying the previous dataset. But when saving the position in an instance variable, and updating the dataset in onViewAttachedToWindow(), the RecylerView should be ready for more data.
To be honest though, I wouldn't add all this logic to the ViewHolder, but pass an interface to it so the logic can be kept in a more central place, like a presenter.

Changing background color of selected item in recyclerview

How to change the background color of only selected view in my recycle view example?only the background color of clicked itemview needs to be changed.
Only one selected item must be displayed with background color change at a time and the rest needs to be as before selecting.
here is my code :
MainActivity
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
RecyclerView rv1;
private final String android_versions[]={
"Donut",
"Eclair",
"Froyo",
"Gingerbread",
"Honeycomb",
"Ice Cream Sandwich",
"Jelly Bean",
"KitKat",
"Lollipop",
"Marshmallow"
};
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
initViews();
}
private void initViews(){
rv1=(RecyclerView)findViewById(R.id.recyclerView1);
rv1.setHasFixedSize(true);
RecyclerView.LayoutManager layoutManager=new LinearLayoutManager(getApplicationContext());
rv1.setLayoutManager(layoutManager);
RecyclerDataAdapter rda=new RecyclerDataAdapter(rv1,getApplicationContext(),android_versions);
rv1.setAdapter(rda);
}
}
RecyclerDataadapter
public class RecyclerDataAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<RecyclerDataAdapter.ViewHolder> {
private String android_versionnames[];
private Context context1;
private RecyclerView mRecyclerView;
public RecyclerDataAdapter(RecyclerView recylcerView,Context context,String android_versionnames[]){
this.android_versionnames=android_versionnames;
this.context1=context;
mRecyclerView=recylcerView;
setHasStableIds(true);
System.out.println("Inside dataadapter,Android names : \n ");
for(int i=0;i<android_versionnames.length;i++){
System.out.println("\n"+android_versionnames[i]);
}
}
#Override
public ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
View view= LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.row_layout,parent,false);
return new ViewHolder(view);
}
#Override
public void onBindViewHolder(final ViewHolder holder, int position) {
holder.tv1.setText(android_versionnames[position]);
}
#Override
public int getItemCount() {
return android_versionnames.length;
}
public class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
private TextView tv1;
LinearLayout row_linearlayout;
RecyclerView rv2;
public ViewHolder(final View itemView) {
super(itemView);
tv1=(TextView)itemView.findViewById(R.id.txtView1);
row_linearlayout=(LinearLayout)itemView.findViewById(R.id.row_linrLayout);
rv2=(RecyclerView)itemView.findViewById(R.id.recyclerView1);
/*itemView.setBackgroundColor(0x00000000);//to transparent*/
}
}
}

Finally, I got the answer.
public void onBindViewHolder(final ViewHolder holder, final int position) {
holder.tv1.setText(android_versionnames[position]);
holder.row_linearlayout.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
row_index=position;
notifyDataSetChanged();
}
});
if(row_index==position){
holder.row_linearlayout.setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#567845"));
holder.tv1.setTextColor(Color.parseColor("#ffffff"));
}
else
{
holder.row_linearlayout.setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#ffffff"));
holder.tv1.setTextColor(Color.parseColor("#000000"));
}
}
here 'row_index' is set as '-1' initially
public class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
private TextView tv1;
LinearLayout row_linearlayout;
RecyclerView rv2;
public ViewHolder(final View itemView) {
super(itemView);
tv1=(TextView)itemView.findViewById(R.id.txtView1);
row_linearlayout=(LinearLayout)itemView.findViewById(R.id.row_linrLayout);
rv2=(RecyclerView)itemView.findViewById(R.id.recyclerView1);
}
}

A really simple way to achieve this would be:
//instance variable
List<View>itemViewList = new ArrayList<>();
//OnCreateViewHolderMethod
#Override
public MyViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
final View itemView = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.list_row, parent, false);
final MyViewHolder myViewHolder = new MyViewHolder(itemView);
itemViewList.add(itemView); //to add all the 'list row item' views
//Set on click listener for each item view
itemView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
for(View tempItemView : itemViewList) {
/** navigate through all the itemViews and change color
of selected view to colorSelected and rest of the views to colorDefault **/
if(itemViewList.get(myViewHolder.getAdapterPosition()) == tempItemView) {
tempItemView.setBackgroundResource(R.color.colorSelected);
}
else{
tempItemView.setBackgroundResource(R.color.colorDefault);
}
}
}
});
return myViewHolder;
}
UPDATE
The method above may ruin some default attributes of the itemView, in my case, i was using CardView, and the corner radius of the card was getting removed on click.
Better solution:
//instance variable
List<CardView>cardViewList = new ArrayList<>();
public class MyViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
CardView cardView; //THIS IS MY ROOT VIEW
...
public MyViewHolder(View view) {
super(view);
cardView = view.findViewById(R.id.row_item_card);
...
}
}
#Override
public void onBindViewHolder(final MyViewHolder holder, int position) {
final OurLocationObject locationObject = locationsList.get(position);
...
cardViewList.add(holder.cardView); //add all the cards to this list
holder.cardView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
//All card color is set to colorDefault
for(CardView cardView : cardViewList){
cardView.setCardBackgroundColor(context.getResources().getColor(R.color.colorDefault));
}
//The selected card is set to colorSelected
holder.cardView.setCardBackgroundColor(context.getResources().getColor(R.color.colorSelected));
}
});
}
UPDATE 2 - IMPORTANT
onBindViewHolder method is called multiple times, and also every time the user scrolls the view out of sight and back in sight!
This will cause the same view to be added to the list multiple times which may cause problems and minor delay in code executions!
To fix this,
change
cardViewList.add(holder.cardView);
to
if (!cardViewList.contains(holder.cardView)) {
cardViewList.add(holder.cardView);
}

I can suggest this solution, which I used in my app. I've placed this code of onTouchListener in my ViewHolder class's constructor. itemView is constructor's argument. Be sure to use return false on this method because this need for working OnClickListener
itemView.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {
#Override
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
if(event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN)
{
v.setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#f0f0f0"));
}
if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP || event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_CANCEL)
{
v.setBackgroundColor(Color.TRANSPARENT);
}
return false;
}
});

Create Drawable file in Drawable foloder
<item android:drawable="#color/SelectedColor" android:state_pressed="true"></item>
<item android:drawable="#color/SelectedColor" android:state_selected="true"></item>
<item android:drawable="#color/DefultColor"></item>
And in xml file
android:background="#drawable/Drawable file"
In RecyclerView onBindViewHolder
holder.button.setSelected(holder.button.isSelected()?true:false);
Like toggle button

I was able to change the selected view color like this. I think this is the SIMPLE WAY (because you don't have to create instance of layouts and variables.
MAKE SURE YOU DONT GIVE ANY BACKGROUND COLOR INSIDE YOUR RECYCLER VIEW's TAG.
holder.itemView.setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#8DFFFFFF"));
onBindViewHolder() method is given below
#Override
public void onBindViewHolder(#NonNull final MyViewHolder holder, final int position) {
holder.item_1.setText(list_items.get(position).item_1);
holder.item_2.setText(list_items.get(position).item_2);
holder.select_cb.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new CompoundButton.OnCheckedChangeListener() {
#Override
public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton buttonView, boolean isChecked) {
if (isChecked){
holder.itemView.setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#8DFFFFFF"));
}else {
holder.itemView.setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#FFFFFF"));
}
}
});
}

What I did to achieve this was actually taking a static variable to store the last clicked position of the item in the RecyclerView and then notify the adapter to update the layout at the position on the last clicked position i.e. notifyItemChanged(lastClickedPosition) whenever a new position is clicked. Calling notifyDataSetChanged() on the whole layout is very costly and unfeasible so doing this for only one position is much better.
Here's the code for this:
public class RecyclerDataAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<RecyclerDataAdapter.ViewHolder> {
private String android_versionnames[];
private Context mContext;
private static lastClickedPosition = -1; // Variable to store the last clicked item position
public RecyclerDataAdapter(Context context,String android_versionnames[]){
this.android_versionnames = android_versionnames;
this.mContext = context;
}
}
#Override
public ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
View view = LayoutInflater.from(mContext).inflate(R.layout.row_layout,
parent, false);
return new ViewHolder(view);
}
#Override
public void onBindViewHolder(final ViewHolder holder, int position) {
holder.tv1.setText(android_versionnames[position]);
holder.itemView.setBackgroundColor(mContext.getResources().
getColor(R.color.cardview_light_background));
holder.itemView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
v.setBackgroundColor(mContext.getResources().
getColor(R.color.dark_background));
if (lastClickedPosition != -1)
notifyItemChanged(lastClickedPosition);
lastClickedPosition = position;
}
});
}
#Override
public int getItemCount() {
return android_versionnames.length;
}
public class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
private TextView tv1;
public ViewHolder(final View itemView) {
super(itemView);
tv1=(TextView)itemView.findViewById(R.id.txtView1);
}
}
}
So we will be actually updating only the intended item and not re-running unnecessary updates to the items which have not even been changed.

If you use kotlin, it's really simple.
In your RecyclerAdapter class
userV.invalidateRecycler()
holder.card_User.setCardBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#3eb1ae").withAlpha(60))
In your fragment or Activity
override fun invalidateRecycler() {
if (v1.recyclerCompanies.childCount > 0) {
v1.recyclerCompanies.childrenRecursiveSequence().iterator().forEach { card ->
if (card is CardView) {
card.setCardBackgroundColor(Color.WHITE)
}
}
}
}

There is a very simple solution to this, you don't have to work in the adapter. To change the background of a clicked item in the RecyclerView you need to catch the click in the adapter using an iterface:
interface ItemClickListener {
fun onItemClickListener(item: Item, position: Int)
}
When we click we will get the item and the items position. In our bind function in the adapter we will set the on click listener:
container.setOnClickListener {
onClickListener.onItemClickListener(item, position)
}
In your activity you will then implement this interface:
class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity(), ItemAdapter.ItemClickListener {
Next we need to implement the background changing logic on item click. The logic is this: when the user clicks on an item, we check if the background on the clicked item is white (the item is not previously clicked) and if this condition is true, we change the background on all of the items in the RecyclerView to white (to invalidate previously clicked and marked items if there are any) and then change the background color of the clicked item to teal to mark it. And if the background of the clicked item is teal (which means the user clicks again on the same previously marked item), we change the background color on all of the items to white. First we will need to get our item background color as a ColorDrawable. We will use an iterator function to go through all of the items (children) of the RecyclerView and forEach() function to change the background on everyone of them. This method will look like this:
override fun onItemClickListener(item: Item, position: Int) {
val itemBackground: ColorDrawable =
binding.recycler[position].background as ColorDrawable
if (itemBackground.color == ContextCompat.getColor(this, R.color.white)) {
binding.recycler.children.iterator().forEach { item ->
item.setBackgroundColor(
ContextCompat.getColor(
this,
R.color.white
)
)
}
binding.recycler[position].setBackgroundColor(
ContextCompat.getColor(this, R.color.teal_200)
)
} else {
binding.recycler.children.iterator().forEach { item ->
item.setBackgroundColor(
ContextCompat.getColor(
this,
R.color.white
)
)
}
}
}
So now you change the background on item click, if you click the same item, you will change the background back to what it was before.

My solution:
public static class SimpleItemRecyclerViewAdapter
extends RecyclerView.Adapter<SimpleItemRecyclerViewAdapter.ViewHolder> {
private final MainActivity mParentActivity;
private final List<DummyContent.DummyItem> mValues;
private final boolean mTwoPane;
private static int lastClickedPosition=-1;
**private static View viewOld=null;**
private final View.OnClickListener mOnClickListener = new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
DummyContent.DummyItem item = (DummyContent.DummyItem) view.getTag();
if (mTwoPane) {
Bundle arguments = new Bundle();
arguments.putString(ItemDetailFragment.ARG_ITEM_ID, item.id);
ItemDetailFragment fragment = new ItemDetailFragment();
fragment.setArguments(arguments);
mParentActivity.getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
.replace(R.id.item_detail_container, fragment)
.commit();
} else {
Context context = view.getContext();
Intent intent = new Intent(context, ItemDetailActivity.class);
intent.putExtra(ItemDetailFragment.ARG_ITEM_ID, item.id);
context.startActivity(intent);
}
**view.setBackgroundColor(mParentActivity.getResources().getColor(R.color.SelectedColor));
if(viewOld!=null)
viewOld.setBackgroundColor(mParentActivity.getResources().getColor(R.color.DefaultColor));
viewOld=view;**
}
};
viewOld is null at the beginning, then points to the last selected view.
With onClick you change the background of the selected view and redefine the background of the penultimate view selected.
Simple and functional.

In your adapter class make Integer variable as index and assign it to "0" (if you want to select 1st item by default, if not assign "-1").Then on your onBindViewHolder method,
#Override
public void onBindViewHolder(#NonNull final ViewHolder holder, final int position) {
holder.texttitle.setText(listTitle.get(position));
holder.itemView.setTag(listTitle.get(position));
holder.texttitle.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
index = position;
notifyDataSetChanged();
}
});
if (index == position)
holder.texttitle.setTextColor(mContext.getResources().getColor(R.color.selectedColor));
else
holder.texttitle.setTextColor(mContext.getResources().getColor(R.color.unSelectedColor));
}
Thats it and you are good to go.in If condition true section place your selected color or what ever you need, and else section place unselected color or what ever.

Calling Notifydatasetchanged May be expensive when you need to change one item We can overcome by saving the old position and call notifyItemChanged
var old_postion=-1
public void onBindViewHolder(final ViewHolder holder, final int position) {
holder.tv1.setText(android_versionnames[position]);
holder.row_linearlayout.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
notifyItemChanged(old_position)
//After item change happens set the old_postion as current position
old_position=position
}
});
if(old_position==position){
holder.row_linearlayout.setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#567845"));
holder.tv1.setTextColor(Color.parseColor("#ffffff"));
}
else
{
holder.row_linearlayout.setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#ffffff"));
holder.tv1.setTextColor(Color.parseColor("#000000"));
}
}

Create a selector into Drawable folder:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_pressed="true">
<shape>
<solid android:color="#color/blue" />
</shape>
</item>
<item android:state_pressed="false">
<shape>
<solid android:color="#android:color/transparent" />
</shape>
</item>
</selector>
Add the property into your xml (where you declare the RecyclerView):
android:background="#drawable/selector"

Add click listener for item view in .onBindViewHolder() of your RecyclerView's adapter. get currently selected position and change color by .setBackground() for previously selected and current item

Most Simpler Way From My Side is to Add a variable in adapterPage as last Clicked Position.
in onBindViewHolder paste this code which checks for last stored position matched with loading positions
Constants is the class where i declare my global variables
if(Constants.LAST_SELECTED_POSITION_SINGLE_PRODUCT == position) {
//change the view background here
holder.colorVariantThumb.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.selected_background);
}
//on view click you store the position value and notifyItemRangeChanged will
// call the onBindViewHolder and will check the condition
holder.itemView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view){
Constants.LAST_SELECTED_POSITION_SINGLE_PRODUCT=position;
notifyItemRangeChanged(0, mColorVariants.size());
}
});

I managed to do this from my Activity where i'm setting my Rv and not from the adapter
If someone need to do something similar here's the code
In this case the color changes on a logClick
#Override
public void onLongClick(View view, int position) {
Toast.makeText(UltimasConsultasActivity.this, "Item agregado a la lista de mails",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
sendMultipleMails.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
valueEmail.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
itemsSeleccionados.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
listaEmails.add(superListItems.get(position));
listaItems ="";
NameOfyourRecyclerInActivity.findViewHolderForAdapterPosition(position).NameOfYourViewInTheViewholder.setBackgroundColor((Color.parseColor("#336F0D")));
for(int itemsSelect = 0; itemsSelect <= listaEmails.size() -1; itemsSelect++){
listaItems += "*"+listaEmails.get(itemsSelect).getDescripcion() + "\n";
}
itemsSeleccionados.setText("Items Seleccionados : "+ "\n" + listaItems);
}
}));

My Solution
With my solution I'm not using notifyDataSetChanged(), because annoying whenever item is clicked, all the items from list got refreshed. To tackle this problem, I used notifyItemChanged(position); This will only change the selected item.
Below I have added the code of my omBindViewHolder.
private int previousPosition = -1;
private SingleViewItemBinding previousView;
#Override
public void onBindViewHolder(#NonNull final ItemViewHolder holder, final int position) {
holder.viewBinding.setItem(itemList.get(position));
holder.viewBinding.rlContainerMain.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
clickRecyclerView.clickRecyclerItem(position, 0);
previousPosition = position;
notifyItemChanged(position);
if(previousView != null){
previousView.rlContainerMain.setBackgroundColor(
ContextCompat.getColor(context, R.color.colorGrayLight));
}
}
});
if(position == previousPosition){
previousView = holder.viewBinding;
holder.viewBinding.rlContainerMain.setBackgroundColor(
ContextCompat.getColor(context, R.color.colorPrimary));
}
else {
holder.viewBinding.rlContainerMain.setBackgroundColor(
ContextCompat.getColor(context, R.color.colorGrayLight));
}
}

in the Kotlin you can do this simply:
all you need is to create a static variable like this:
companion object {
var last_position = 0
}
then in your onBindViewHolder add this code:
holder.item.setOnClickListener{
holder.item.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.selected_item)
notifyItemChanged(last_position)
last_position=position
}
which item is the child of recyclerView which you want to change its background after clicking on it.

I made this implementation in kotlin I thing is not very efficient but works
ivIsSelected is a ImageView that represent in my case a check mark
var selectedItems = mutableListOf<Int>(-1)
override fun onBindViewHolder(holder: ContactViewHolder, position: Int) {
// holder.setData(ContactViewModel, position) // I'm passing this to the ViewHolder
holder.itemView.setBackgroundColor(Color.WHITE)
holder.itemView.ivIsSelected.visibility = INVISIBLE
selectedItems.forEach {
if (it == position) {
holder.itemView.setBackgroundColor(Color.argb(45, 0, 255, 43))
holder.itemView.ivIsSelected.visibility = VISIBLE
}
}
holder.itemView.setOnClickListener { it ->
it.setBackgroundColor(Color.BLUE)
selectedItems.add(position)
selectedItems.forEach { selectedItem -> // this forEach is required to refresh all the list
notifyItemChanged(selectedItem)
}
}
}

A faster and simpler way is saving the previous View element selected, so you don't have to use notifyDataSetChanged() or notifyItemChanged(position).
First, add an instance variable inside your Adapter (RecyclerDataAdapter):
View prevElement;
Then, inside your function onClick() (or in my case the lambda function version) you insert this:
holder.itemView.setOnClickListener(v -> {
// CODE TO INSERT
if (prevElement != null)
prevElement.setBackgroundColor(Color.TRANSPARENT);
v.setBackgroundColor(R.color.selected);
prevElement = v;
// DO SOMETHING
...
});
As you can see, the first thing done is checking if the prevElement is not null (an element was clicked before this), so we change its background color to Color.TRANSPARENT (even if it's the same element clicked twice). Then, we set the background color of the View element clicked (v) is changed to R.color.selected. Finally set the element clicked to the prevElement variable, so it can be modified in the next click action.

The response from #Sudhanshu Vohra above was the best in my case and much simpler.
I did minor changes to handle the new selection and previous selection to adjust the display.
I modified it as:
//Handle selected item and previous selection
if (lastSelectedIndex != -1) {
notifyItemChanged(lastSelectedIndex);
}
notifyItemChanged(bindingAdapterPosition);
lastSelectedIndex = bindingAdapterPosition;
Now I refresh only two items, rather than the entire list and it works like a charm. Thank you.

I got it like this
public void onClick(View v){
v.findViewById(R.id.textView).setBackgroundColor(R.drawable.selector_row);
}
Thanks

я не знаю на сколько это поможет но я типа так сделал:) в адаптере #Override public void onBindViewHolder(#NonNull NoteViewHolder holder, int position) { holder.bind(sortedList.get(position)); holder.itemView.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.bacground_button); }
