Onclick listner not triggering in fragment page adapter

I'm trying to display all contacts from phone to recyclerView when a user presses any item it should do some work. I have a list of contacts in a fragment which is inside a fragment page adapter when ever I click in the recyclerView item onClicklistener is not executing
I have used same code in a previous app but onclicklisteners are triggering
public class ListOfContacts extends Fragment implements OnContactListener {

ListOfContacts listOfContacts = new ListOfContacts();
Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
bundle.putParcelableArrayList("listofcontacts", arrayList);
listOfContacts.setArguments(bundle);
return listOfContacts;
}

What i did is create an Interface in your RecyclerView Adapter:
public interface OnClickItem { // create an interface
void onClickItem(int position); // create callback function
}
Then in OnBindViewHolder:
customViewHolder.(yourView).setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
ContactListener.onClickItem(customViewHolder.getAdapterPosition());
}
});
In your Fragment:
public class ListOfContacts extends Fragment implements ListOfContactsRAdapter.OnClickItem { ...
Implement the method:
#Override
public void onClickItem(int position) {
...
}

Calling setAdapter on Fragment (Recycler View) not working

I tried to set the adapter on fragment, but nothing shows up.
The object retrieves the data from API but doesn't show on the screen.
I have already put the break point on rvItem.setAdapter(mainAdapter); but nothings happen, the debug passes straight through.
public class ItemFragment extends Fragment {
private MainAdapter mainAdapter;
private ItemPresenter itemPresenter;
private GridLayoutManager mLayoutManager;
private List<ObjectAdapter> list = new ArrayList<>();
private String region = "br";
#Bind(R.id.rvItem)
RecyclerView rvItem;
public ItemFragment() {
// Required empty public constructor
}
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// Inflate the layout for this fragment
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_item, container, false);
ButterKnife.bind(this, view);
itemPresenter = new ItemPresenter();
mLayoutManager = new GridLayoutManager(getActivity(), 4);
rvItem.setLayoutManager(mLayoutManager);
getList();
return view;
}
private void getList() {
itemPresenter.loadItemList(region, "all", AppConfigs.api_key, new ItemListListener() {
#Override
public void onRequestStarted() {
}
#Override
public void onRequestFinished() {
}
#Override
public void onError(Throwable error) {
}
#Override
public void onItemListLoad(List<ItemDto> itemList) {
displayItemList(ObjectAdapter.convertItemToObjetct(itemList));
}
});
}
public void displayItemList(List<ObjectAdapter> itemList) {
list = itemList;
mainAdapter = new MainAdapter(getActivity(), list, new MainAdapter.OnObjectClickListener() {
#Override
public void OnObjectClickListener(ObjectAdapter objectAdapter) {
Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "Object Adapter" + objectAdapter.Id, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
});
rvItem.setAdapter(mainAdapter);
mainAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
}
}
Adapter:
public class MainAdapter extends
RecyclerView.Adapter<MainAdapter.MainAdapterViewHolder> {
public List<ObjectAdapter> mObjecterList;
private final OnObjectClickListener listener;
private Context mContext;
public interface OnObjectClickListener {
void OnObjectClickListener(ObjectAdapter objectAdapter);
}
public MainAdapter(Context context, List<ObjectAdapter> objectAdapterList, OnObjectClickListener listener) {
this.mObjecterList = objectAdapterList;
this.listener = listener;
this.mContext = context;
}
#Override
public MainAdapter.MainAdapterViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
View view = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.activity_main_adapter, parent, false);
return new MainAdapterViewHolder(view);
}
#Override
public void onBindViewHolder(MainAdapter.MainAdapterViewHolder holder, int position) {

holder.tvNameText.setText(ob.Name);
holder.bind(mObjecterList.get(position), listener);
String url = "";
switch (ob.Type){
case CHAMPION: url = String.format(AppConfigs.portraitChampion, ob.Portrait);
break;
case SPELL: url = String.format(AppConfigs.portraitSpell, ob.Portrait);
break;
case ITEM: url = String.format(AppConfigs.portraitItem, ob.Portrait);
break;
}
Picasso.with(mContext).load(url).into(holder.ivRetrato);
}
#Override
public int getItemCount() {
return this.mObjecterList.size();
}
public static class MainAdapterViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
public TextView tvNameText;
public ImageView ivRetrato;
public MainAdapterViewHolder(View itemView) {
super(itemView);
this.tvNameText = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.tvNameText);
this.ivRetrato = (ImageView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.ivImagePortrait);
}
public void bind(final ObjectAdapter objectAdapterListItem, final OnObjectClickListener listener) {
itemView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
listener.OnObjectClickListener(objectAdapterListItem);
}
});
}
}
}

You need to set adapter directly at onCreateView method and call notifyDataSetChanged() of adapter when data loaded

Handle button click inside row in recyclerView

I would like to know how to handle position of the row if the adapter is changed - for example if I write something to SearchView - adapter has changed and position is different. I have done this (below), but it shows the item before changed position.
My issue is with Recycler view item click.
Could you help me with that?
Adapter
public class ContactsRecyclerAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<ContactsRecyclerAdapter.BindingHolder> {
private static OnItemClickListener listener;
public interface OnItemClickListener {
void onItemClick(View itemView, int position);
}
public void setOnItemClickListener(OnItemClickListener listener) {
this.listener = listener;
}
private List<Contact> mContacts;
private List<Contact> mContactsFiltered;
SearchViewFilter filter;
Context mContext;
public ContactsRecyclerAdapter(Context context, List<Contact> contact) {
this.mContext = context;
this.mContacts = contact;
this.mContactsFiltered = contact;
filter = new SearchViewFilter(mContacts, this);
}
public static class BindingHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
private ViewDataBinding binding;
public BindingHolder(final View rowView) {
super(rowView);
binding = DataBindingUtil.bind(rowView);
itemView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
if (listener != null)
listener.onItemClick(itemView, getLayoutPosition());
}
});
}
public ViewDataBinding getBinding() {
return binding;
}
}
#Override
public BindingHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int type) {
View view = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.row_item_contact, parent, false);
BindingHolder holder = new BindingHolder(view);
return holder;
}
#Override
public void onBindViewHolder(BindingHolder holder, int position) {
final Contact contact = mContactsFiltered.get(position);
holder.getBinding().setVariable(BR.contact, contact);
holder.getBinding().executePendingBindings();
}
Fragment
public class ContactListFragment extends Fragment implements View.OnClickListener {
FloatingActionButton fabButton;
SearchView searchView;
RecyclerView recyclerView;
String name, number, email;
private List<Contact> mContact = new ArrayList<>();
private ContactsRecyclerAdapter mAdapter;
public static ContactListFragment newInstance() {
Bundle args = new Bundle();
ContactListFragment fragment = new ContactListFragment();
fragment.setArguments(args);
return fragment;
}
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setHasOptionsMenu(true);
}
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, final ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_contact_list, container, false);
searchView = (SearchView) view.findViewById(R.id.search_view);
recyclerView = (RecyclerView) view.findViewById(R.id.recycler_view);
recyclerView.setLayoutManager(new LinearLayoutManager(getContext()));
mContact = SugarRecord.listAll(Contact.class);
mAdapter = new ContactsRecyclerAdapter(getActivity(), mContact);
recyclerView.setAdapter(mAdapter);
//item click
mAdapter.setOnItemClickListener(new ContactsRecyclerAdapter.OnItemClickListener() {
#Override
public void onItemClick(View itemView, int position) {
Contact contact = SugarRecord.findById(Contact.class, (long) position + 1);
name = contact.getName();
number = contact.getNumber();
email = contact.getEmail();
showAlertDialog();
}
});
searchFilter();
return view;
}
public void sortList() {
if(mContact.size() > 0) {
if (!isSort) {
Collections.sort(mContact, new Comparator<Contact>() {
#Override
public int compare(Contact contact1, Contact contact2) {
return contact1.getName().compareToIgnoreCase(contact2.getName());
}
});
}
else {
Collections.reverse(mContact);
isSort = false;
}
}
mAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();

Click listener does not work with a RecyclerView. use OnItemTouchListener()
RecyclerView recyclerView = findViewById(R.id.recycler);
recyclerView.addOnItemTouchListener(new RecyclerView.OnItemTouchListener() {
#Override public void onItemClick(View view, int position) {
// do whatever
}
#Override public void onLongItemClick(View view, int position) {
// do whatever
}
})
);

you have to overide onclick in BindingHolder class. Inside onclick method invoke a callback method of object passed via constructor etc
public static class BindingHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
private ViewDataBinding binding;
public BindingHolder(final View rowView) {
super(rowView);
binding = DataBindingUtil.bind(rowView);
public void onClick(View view) {
//call a callback method here
}
}
public ViewDataBinding getBinding() {
return binding;
}
}

RecyclerView adapter notifyDataSetChanged doesnt work

I have a Fragment with a RecyclerView that I want to update after I get some data from an IntentService.
The service finishes and sends the data to the Fragment using Otto EventBus.I can confirm that cause I add some log messages and print some values eg : dataSet.get(0).getName().
After that I call adapter.notifyDataSetChanged() but nothing appears on my screen.
I can give you the code of my custom Adapter if you think that it can help :
public class FilteredVideoListAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<FilteredVideoListAdapter.ViewHolder> {
public static final String TAG = "FILTEREDVIDEO-ADAPTER";
public List<FilteredVideo> data;
public Context context;
public FilteredVideoListAdapter(List<FilteredVideo> data) {
this.data = data;
}
public static class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
TextView tvTitle;
TextView tvSubtitle;
ImageView imageView;
public ViewHolder(View itemView) {
super(itemView);
tvTitle = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.tv_filtered_video_title);
tvSubtitle = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.tv_filtered_video_subtitle);
imageView = (ImageView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.iv_filtered_video_image);
}
}
#Override
public ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
context = parent.getContext();
View v = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext())
.inflate(R.layout.item_filtered_video, parent, false);
return new ViewHolder(v);
}
#Override
public void onBindViewHolder(ViewHolder viewHolder, int position) {
viewHolder.tvTitle.setText(data.get(position).getName());
viewHolder.tvSubtitle.setText(data.get(position).getDataUrl());
int dimen = context.getResources().getDimensionPixelSize(R.dimen.filtered_video_image_size);
Picasso.with(context)
.load(data.get(position).getThumbnailUrl())
.resize(dimen, dimen)
.into(viewHolder.imageView);
}
#Override
public int getItemCount() {
return data.size();
}
}
And the code of the Fragment class :
public class FilteredVideoListFragment extends BaseFragment {
private static final String TAG = "FILTEREDVLIST-FRAGMENT";
public RecyclerView recyclerView;
protected FilteredVideoListAdapter adapter;
protected RecyclerView.LayoutManager layoutManager;
public List<FilteredVideo> dataSet;
//first time there aren't any populated data
private boolean datasetIsNull = true;
public static FilteredVideoListFragment newInstance() {
return new FilteredVideoListFragment();
}
#Override
public void onCreate(#Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
dataSet = new ArrayList<>();
BusProvider.getInstance().register(this);
// startService here -
Intent intentService = new Intent(activity, GetMostPopularIntentService.class);
activity.startService(intentService);
}
#Nullable
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, #Nullable ViewGroup container, #Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_filtered_video_list, container, false);
recyclerView = (RecyclerView) view.findViewById(R.id.rv_filtered_video_list);
recyclerView.setHasFixedSize(true);
recyclerView.addItemDecoration(new DividerItemDecoration(getActivity(),
DividerItemDecoration.VERTICAL_LIST));
layoutManager = new LinearLayoutManager(getActivity());
recyclerView.setLayoutManager(layoutManager);
adapter = new FilteredVideoListAdapter(dataSet);
recyclerView.setAdapter(adapter);
return view;
}
private BroadcastReceiver mostpopularReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
String resultCode = intent.getStringExtra("resultCode");
if ("OK".equals(resultCode)) {
Toast.makeText(activity, "Most Popular Results Received!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
};
/** Register/ unRegister Receiver */
#Override
public void onResume() {
super.onResume();
IntentFilter intentFilter = new IntentFilter(GetMostPopularIntentService.ACTION);
LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(activity).registerReceiver(mostpopularReceiver, intentFilter);
}
#Override
public void onPause() {
super.onPause();
LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(activity).unregisterReceiver(mostpopularReceiver);
}
/**
* Receives Event from GetMostPopularIntentService when data retrieved
* successfully.
*/
#Subscribe
public void onMostPopularReceivedEvent(MostPopularReceivedEvent event) {
Log.i(TAG, "clickevent ");
dataSet = event.getFilteredVideoList();
Log.i(TAG, "NOTIFY ADAPTER SIZE == " + dataSet.size() );
Log.i(TAG, "NOTIFY ADAPTER SIZE == " + dataSet.get(0).getName() );
adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
Log.i(TAG, "AFTER NOTIFY ADAPTER ");
}
#Subscribe
public void onToastRequest(ToastRequest request) {
Log.i(TAG, "onToastRequest ");
Toast.makeText(activity, request.message, request.duration).show();
}
}

Try -
#Subscribe
public void onMostPopularReceivedEvent(MostPopularReceivedEvent event) {
adapter = new FilteredVideoListAdapter(event.getFilteredVideoList());
recyclerView.setAdapter(adapter);
}

Try this adapter
public class FilteredVideoListAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<FilteredVideoListAdapter.ViewHolder> {
public static final String TAG = "FILTEREDVIDEO-ADAPTER";
public List<FilteredVideo> data;
public Context mContext;
public FilteredVideoListAdapter(Context context, List<FilteredVideo> data) {
this.data = data;
this.mContext = context;
}
#Override
public ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup viewGroup, int i) {
View view = LayoutInflater.from(viewGroup.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.item_filtered_video, null);
return new ViewHolder(view);
}
#Override
public void onBindViewHolder(ViewHolder customViewHolder, int i) {
FilteredVideo filteredVideo = data.get(i);
customViewHolder.tvTitle.setText(filteredVideo.getName());
customViewHolder.tvSubtitle.setText(filteredVideo.getDataUrl());
int dimen = mContext.getResources().getDimensionPixelSize(R.dimen.filtered_video_image_size);
Picasso.with(mContext)
.load(filteredVideo.getThumbnailUrl())
.resize(dimen, dimen)
.into(customViewHolder.imageView);
}
#Override
public int getItemCount() {
return (null != data ? data.size() : 0);
}
}
And call in your Fragment like this
#Nullable
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, #Nullable ViewGroup container, #Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_filtered_video_list, container, false);
recyclerView = (RecyclerView) view.findViewById(R.id.rv_filtered_video_list);
recyclerView.setHasFixedSize(true);
recyclerView.addItemDecoration(new DividerItemDecoration(getActivity(),
DividerItemDecoration.VERTICAL_LIST));
layoutManager = new LinearLayoutManager(getActivity());
recyclerView.setLayoutManager(layoutManager);
adapter = new FilteredVideoListAdapter(getActivity(), dataSet);
recyclerView.setAdapter(adapter);
return view;
}

RecyclerView not showing anything after updating Adapter data

guys i need help with this matter i have been going through my code for a couple of days to figure whats going wrong but i couldn't figure it out.
I have a fragment with a RecyclerView i initialize the Adapter data with an image place holder and some default text and the fragment shows them as expected then using a loader i fetch data from the internet and parse and pass the new data to the Adapter (all of this happens as required) until the data reaches the Adapter then Taaadaaaa the initial data disappears and the new data is not showing actually the fragment shows a blank screen definitely i am doing something wrong please advise.
This is the fragment code
public class fragment_MovieStartGridlayout extends android.support.v4.app.Fragment implements MyGridAdapter.MyGridAdapterListener{
private static RecyclerView myRecyclerView;
private static MyGridAdapter myGridAdapter;
private static RecyclerView.LayoutManager rvLayoutManager;
private LoaderManager.LoaderCallbacks<ArrayList<HashMap>> dataLoaderCallbacks;
private OnFragmentInteractionListener mListener;
public fragment_MovieStartGridlayout() {
}
#Override
public void onActivityCreated (Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
dataLoaderCallbacks = new LoaderManager.LoaderCallbacks<ArrayList<HashMap>>() {
#Override
public Loader<ArrayList<HashMap>> onCreateLoader(int id, Bundle args) {
return new DataLoader(getActivityContext(), MyUriBuilder.DISCOVER, null);
}
#Override
public void onLoadFinished(Loader<ArrayList<HashMap>> loader,ArrayList<HashMap> data) {
myGridAdapter.setMyAdapterData(data);
}
#Override
public void onLoaderReset(Loader<ArrayList<HashMap>> loader) {
loader.reset();
}
};
getLoaderManager().initLoader(0, null, dataLoaderCallbacks);
setRetainInstance(true);
}
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View fragGridLayout = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_gridlayout_movie_start, container, false);
myRecyclerView = (RecyclerView) fragGridLayout.findViewById(R.id.myViewRecycler);
rvLayoutManager = new GridLayoutManager(getActivityContext(),2);
myRecyclerView.setLayoutManager(rvLayoutManager);
myGridAdapter = new MyGridAdapter(getActivityContext());
myRecyclerView.setAdapter(myGridAdapter);
return fragGridLayout;
}
#Override
public void onAttach(Activity activity) {
super.onAttach(activity);
try {
mListener = (OnFragmentInteractionListener) activity;
} catch (ClassCastException e) {
throw new ClassCastException(activity.toString()
+ " must implement OnFragmentInteractionListener");
}
}
#Override
public void onDataSetChanged(boolean state) {
if (state){
myGridAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
}
}
public interface OnFragmentInteractionListener {
public void onFragmentInteraction(Uri uri);
}
public Context getActivityContext(){
return this.getActivity();
}
}
and this is the Adapter for the RecyclerView
public class MyGridAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<MyGridAdapter.MyViewHolder> {
LayoutInflater layoutInflater;
private static ArrayList<HashMap> data=null;
private Context mContext;
public static Bitmap placeHolder;
public MyGridAdapter(Context context){
mContext = context;
setInitialData();
placeHolder = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(mContext.getResources(),R.drawable.android_blue);
}
public interface MyGridAdapterListener{
public void onDataSetChanged(boolean state);
}
private MyGridAdapterListener listener = null;
public void registerListener(MyGridAdapterListener newListener){
listener = newListener;
}
#Override
public MyViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
Context context = parent.getContext();
layoutInflater = LayoutInflater.from(context);
View v = layoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.gridlayout_item_movie_start, parent, false);
MyViewHolder vHolder=new MyViewHolder(v);
return vHolder;
}
#Override
public void onBindViewHolder(MyViewHolder holder, int position) {
HashMap singleData = data.get(position);
String movieRate = String.valueOf(singleData.get(MyJSONDataParser.TAG_VOTE_AVERAGE)) ;
holder.movieTitle.setText((String)singleData.get(MyJSONDataParser.TAG_TITLE));
holder.moviePoster.setImageBitmap(placeHolder);
holder.movieRating.setRating(Float.valueOf(movieRate));
}
#Override
public int getItemCount() {
return data.size();
}
public static class MyViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
TextView movieTitle;
RoundedImageView moviePoster;
RatingBar movieRating;
public MyViewHolder(View v) {
super(v);
movieTitle = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.movieTitleTextView);
moviePoster = (RoundedImageView) v.findViewById(R.id.roundImageView);
movieRating = (RatingBar) v.findViewById(R.id.ratingBar);
}
}
private boolean dataChanged = false;
public void setMyAdapterData(ArrayList<HashMap> data){
this.data = data;
dataChanged = true;
if (listener != null){
listener.onDataSetChanged(dataChanged);
}
}
protected void setInitialData(){
HashMap initialItem = new HashMap();
ArrayList<HashMap> initialData = new ArrayList<>(20);
initialItem.put(MyJSONDataParser.TAG_TITLE, "Loading...");
initialItem.put(MyJSONDataParser.TAG_MOVIE_BITMAP, placeHolder);
initialItem.put(MyJSONDataParser.TAG_VOTE_AVERAGE, 3.3);
for (int i = 0;i<20;i++){
initialData.add(initialItem);
}
this.data = initialData;
}
}

I did call notifyDataSetChanged
but this was not the issue after alooooooooot of testing and Logging the problem was with setAdapterData method where i just passed the data reference from the loader to the adapter but this didn't work and i had to clone the arraylist instead of just passing the reference which sounds strange to me and i still don't understand why I had to do that if you can take a look at the setAdapterData method in MyGridAdapter class and tell me what do you think 

Try invoking notifyDataSetChanged() when you modify your adapter data:
public void setMyAdapterData(ArrayList<HashMap> data){
this.data = data;
dataChanged = true;
notifyDataSetChanged();
if (listener != null){
listener.onDataSetChanged(dataChanged);
}
}
I see that you attempt to do this in the callback on your listener, but perhaps it is null and therefore never firing the notification?
[COMMENT]
When I want to replace the entire collection of data in my adapter I often write a method similar to this:
public void setData(List<MyData> newData) {
this.data.clear();
this.data.addAll(newData);
this.notifyDataSetChanged();
}
