Context:
I've implemented a RecyclerView in my to-do list app.
I wanted to be able to use various onClick methods for items within the RecyclerView so I created an interface called onTaskListener.
This interface has two method stubs, one for onClick and one for onLongClick. In my ViewHolder, I implement both the onClick() and onLongClick() methods which simply pass off control to my onTaskClickListener().
In my adapter, I create an onTaskClickListener().
Then in my main activity, I implement the methods within onTaskClickListener().
My issue is that while my onTaskClick() works perfectly, my onTaskLongClick doesn't seem to function at all. Is there something wrong with the way I set up my RecyclerView/Adapter/ViewHolder/ViewModel pattern?
Question: If the way I have implemented my interface is wrong, how do I include multiple types of click events within a single interface?
Here are the relevant contents of each file (I know it's a lot, I'm very sorry for the wall of code):
onTaskClickListener.java:
public interface OnTaskListener {
void onTaskClick(int position); // Interfaces are implicitly abstract
void onTaskLongClick(int position);
}
itemViewHolder.java:
public class itemViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder implements View.OnClickListener, View.OnLongClickListener {
View itmView; // This is the general view
TextView txtView; // This is the specific text view that shows up as a singular task in the list of to-do tasks
OnTaskListener onTaskListener; // Create an OnTaskListener inside our view holder which allows the view holder to realize it's been clicked
public itemViewHolder(#NonNull View itemView, OnTaskListener inputOnTaskListener) {
super(itemView);
itmView = itemView;
txtView = itemView.findViewById(R.id.txtTask);
this.onTaskListener = inputOnTaskListener; // Take an onTaskListener that is passed into the object and store it internally
itemView.setOnClickListener(this); // passes the View.OnClickListener context to the itemView via "this"
}
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
onTaskListener.onTaskClick(getAdapterPosition()); // This says that whenever we register a click event, we pass the logic onto the taskClick event
}
#Override
public boolean onLongClick(View view) {
onTaskListener.onTaskLongClick(getAdapterPosition()); // This says that whenever we register a longClick event, we pass the logic onto the taskClick event
return true; // This means that we have successfully consumed the long click event. No other click events will be notified
}
}
dataAdapter.java
public class dataAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<itemViewHolder> {
List<taskItem> taskItemList;
private OnTaskListener onTaskListener;
public dataAdapter(List<taskItem> inputTaskItemList, OnTaskListener inputOnTaskListener){
this.taskItemList = inputTaskItemList;
this.onTaskListener = inputOnTaskListener;
}
#NonNull
#Override
public itemViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(#NonNull ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
View localView = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.taskholder, parent, false); //Don't even know what this line does, it's all so over my head
return new itemViewHolder(localView, onTaskListener); // Return an instance of whatever we made directly above this line
}
#Override
public void onBindViewHolder(#NonNull itemViewHolder holder, final int position) {
holder.txtView.setText(taskItemList.get(position).taskTitle);
// Look inside our ViewModel and get the text for this specific instance of the ViewModel, which corresponds to the current position
}
#Override
public int getItemCount() {
return taskItemList.size();
}
}
MainActivity.java
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements OnTaskListener{
private RecyclerView taskList; // Creates a RecyclerView to hook up to our RecyclerView widget in the UI
private dataAdapter localAdapter; // Instantiates our custom adapter class
List<taskItem> myItems; // Stores the items in a list of taskItem's
private RecyclerView.LayoutManager localLayoutManager; // God knows what this does :(
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
taskList = findViewById(R.id.taskList); // Connects our list from UI to recycler view code
localLayoutManager = new LinearLayoutManager(this); // assigns our localLayoutManager to an actual Layout Manager
taskList.setLayoutManager(localLayoutManager); // connecting our layout manager to our recycler view
taskList.setHasFixedSize(true);
myItems = new ArrayList<>(); // Now we FINALLY make our to-do list and populate it with actual tasks
myItems.add(new taskItem("groceries"));
myItems.add(new taskItem("practice bjj"));
localAdapter = new dataAdapter(myItems, this); // Pass the to do list to the adapter so it can feed it to the recycler view
taskList.setAdapter(localAdapter); // Lastly set the recycler view's adapter to the one we made above
}
#Override
public void onTaskClick(int position) {
taskItem currentTask = myItems.get(position);
if(!(currentTask.taskTitle.startsWith("Done: "))){ // Logic that marks a task as done on tap
currentTask.taskTitle = "Done: " + currentTask.taskTitle;
//logic that moves the tapped item to bottom of list
myItems.remove(position);
myItems.add(myItems.size(), currentTask);
localAdapter.notifyItemMoved(position, myItems.size());
}
else if(myItems.get(position).taskTitle.startsWith("Done: ")){ // Logic for if user taps a task already marked "done"
currentTask.taskTitle = currentTask.taskTitle.replaceFirst("Done: ", "");
myItems.set(position, currentTask); // Remove prefix
localAdapter.notifyItemChanged(position);
myItems.remove(position);
myItems.add(0, currentTask);
}
localAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged(); // Let the activity know that the data has changed
}
#Override
public void onTaskLongClick(int position) { // This branch deals with deleting tasks on long click
myItems.remove(position);
localAdapter.notifyItemRemoved(position); // Item has been deleted
}
}
You never call setOnLongClickListener():
public itemViewHolder(#NonNull View itemView, OnTaskListener inputOnTaskListener) {
super(itemView);
itmView = itemView;
txtView = itemView.findViewById(R.id.txtTask);
this.onTaskListener = inputOnTaskListener; // Take an onTaskListener that is passed into the object and store it internally
itemView.setOnClickListener(this); // passes the View.OnClickListener context to the itemView via "this"
// Add this line
itemView.setOnLongClickListener(this); // passes the View.OnLongClickListener context to the itemView via "this"
}
Alternatively, you can avoid going through this entirely by inlining the entire OnLongClickListener (and similarly for the OnClickListener):
itemView.setOnLongClickListener(new View.OnLongClickListener() {
#Override
public boolean onLongClick(View v) {
onTaskListener.onTaskLongClick(getAdapterPosition()); // This says that whenever we register a longClick event, we pass the logic onto the taskClick event
return true; // This means that we have successfully consumed the long click event. No other click events will be notified
}
});
Thus avoiding having your itemViewHolder class implement the OnLongClickListener interface and making it impossible to forget to call setOnLongClickListener().
I have a layout where I use two RecyclerViews, each with its own Adapter.
On the Activity class of the layout I have the references of the RVs and I create them there. Then I dynamically create the buttons and insert them on one of the RecyclerViews.
The current problem I'm facing is that I'm setting the onClick listener inside the adapter itself but I want to hopefully set it through the activity class.
That's because the activity class has references to all the things I need to know when an object inside the recycler view is clicked and I want them to move between the RVs when clicked. From first RV to go to second and vice versa.
To create the view inside the first adapter I use.
for (Iterator<String> it = setList.iterator();it.hasNext();)
{
String str = it.next();
Object1 o = new Object1 (str, R.drawable.testicon);
objectList.add(o);
}
firstRVAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
Inside my adapter I set the onclick listener inside the OnBindViewHolder as such:
#Override
public void onBindViewHolder(LeftViewHolder holder,final int position) {
holder.imageView.setImageResource(verticalLeftList.get(position).getLogo());
holder.textView.setText(verticalLeftList.get(position).getName());
holder.imageView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
String productName =
verticalLeftList.get(position).getName().toString();
Toast.makeText(context, productName + " is selected",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
});
}
Any recommendations or help how to change this to allow me to do what I want would be really appreciated. Either searching for a way to access the second adapter through the first one or a way to set the listener for each item inside RV from the activity class.
You can create a callback for your adapter to pass data back to your activity.
public interface AdapterCallback {
void itemClicked(int position);
}
see Juan's answer for example
Pass the Activity to the adapter in the constructor as a callback listener, and then, in the onClick() method call a callback on the activity.
(...) means there is more code not relevant to the answer.
In the RV Adapter class:
public MyAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<MyAdapter.ViewHolder>{
Listener listener;
public MyAdapter(Listener listener, ...){
this.listener = listener;
...
}
#Override
public void onBindViewHolder(LeftViewHolder holder,final int position) {
holder.imageView.setImageResource(verticalLeftList.get(position).getLogo());
holder.textView.setText(verticalLeftList.get(position).getName());
holder.imageView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
String productName =
verticalLeftList.get(position).getName().toString();
Toast.makeText(context, productName + " is selected",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
listener.onClick(productName);
}
});
}
...
public static interface Listener{
public void onRVClick(String aParamToIdWhatWasClicked);
}
}
And make the Activity implement the Listener interface and pass its instance to the RV Adapter constructor.
public class MyActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements MyAdapter.Listener {
private MyAdapter myRvAdapter;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState){
...
myRvAdapter = new MyAapter(this, ...);
...
}
...
#Override
public void onRVClick(String what){
System.out.println(what + " was selected");
}
...
}
Note that the parameter of the onRVClick() interface method can be whatever you want. It could even be the data list item backing the selected recycler view item.
I have a RecyclerView with an TextView text box and a cross button ImageView. I have a button outside of the recyclerview that makes the cross button ImageView visible / gone.
I'm looking to remove an item from the recylerview, when that items cross button ImageView is pressed.
My adapter:
public class MyAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<MyAdapter.ViewHolder> implements View.OnClickListener, View.OnLongClickListener {
private ArrayList<String> mDataset;
private static Context sContext;
public MyAdapter(Context context, ArrayList<String> myDataset) {
mDataset = myDataset;
sContext = context;
}
#Override
public MyAdapter.ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent,int viewType) {
View v = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.my_text_view, parent, false);
ViewHolder holder = new ViewHolder(v);
holder.mNameTextView.setOnClickListener(MyAdapter.this);
holder.mNameTextView.setOnLongClickListener(MyAdapter.this);
holder.mNameTextView.setTag(holder);
return holder;
}
#Override
public void onBindViewHolder(ViewHolder holder, int position) {
holder.mNameTextView.setText(mDataset.get(position));
}
#Override
public int getItemCount() {
return mDataset.size();
}
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
ViewHolder holder = (ViewHolder) view.getTag();
if (view.getId() == holder.mNameTextView.getId()) {
Toast.makeText(sContext, holder.mNameTextView.getText(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
#Override
public boolean onLongClick(View view) {
ViewHolder holder = (ViewHolder) view.getTag();
if (view.getId() == holder.mNameTextView.getId()) {
mDataset.remove(holder.getPosition());
notifyDataSetChanged();
Toast.makeText(sContext, "Item " + holder.mNameTextView.getText() + " has been removed from list",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
return false;
}
public static class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
public TextView mNumberRowTextView;
public TextView mNameTextView;
public ViewHolder(View v) {
super(v);
mNameTextView = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.nameTextView);
}
}
}
My layout is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:id="#+id/layout">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/nameTextView"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="18sp"
android:padding="5dp"
android:background="#drawable/greyline"/>
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/crossButton"
android:layout_width="16dp"
android:layout_height="16dp"
android:visibility="gone"
android:layout_marginLeft="50dp"
android:src="#drawable/cross" />
</LinearLayout>
How can I get something like an onClick working for my crossButton ImageView? Is there a better way? Maybe changing the whole item onclick into a remove the item? The recyclerview shows a list of locations that need to be edited. Any technical advice or comments / suggestions on best implementation would be hugely appreciated.
I have done something similar.
In your MyAdapter:
public class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder implements View.OnClickListener{
public CardView mCardView;
public TextView mTextViewTitle;
public TextView mTextViewContent;
public ImageView mImageViewContentPic;
public ImageView imgViewRemoveIcon;
public ViewHolder(View v) {
super(v);
mCardView = (CardView) v.findViewById(R.id.card_view);
mTextViewTitle = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.item_title);
mTextViewContent = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.item_content);
mImageViewContentPic = (ImageView) v.findViewById(R.id.item_content_pic);
//......
imgViewRemoveIcon = (ImageView) v.findViewById(R.id.remove_icon);
mTextViewContent.setOnClickListener(this);
imgViewRemoveIcon.setOnClickListener(this);
v.setOnClickListener(this);
mTextViewContent.setOnLongClickListener(new View.OnLongClickListener() {
#Override
public boolean onLongClick(View view) {
if (mItemClickListener != null) {
mItemClickListener.onItemClick(view, getPosition());
}
return false;
}
});
}
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
//Log.d("View: ", v.toString());
//Toast.makeText(v.getContext(), mTextViewTitle.getText() + " position = " + getPosition(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
if(v.equals(imgViewRemoveIcon)){
removeAt(getPosition());
}else if (mItemClickListener != null) {
mItemClickListener.onItemClick(v, getPosition());
}
}
}
public void setOnItemClickListener(final OnItemClickListener mItemClickListener) {
this.mItemClickListener = mItemClickListener;
}
public void removeAt(int position) {
mDataset.remove(position);
notifyItemRemoved(position);
notifyItemRangeChanged(position, mDataSet.size());
}
Edit:
getPosition() is deprecated now, use getAdapterPosition() instead.
first of all, item should be removed from the list!
mDataSet.remove(getAdapterPosition());
then:
notifyItemRemoved(getAdapterPosition());
notifyItemRangeChanged(getAdapterPosition(), mDataSet.size()-getAdapterPosition());
if still item not removed use this magic method :)
private void deleteItem(int position) {
mDataSet.remove(position);
notifyItemRemoved(position);
notifyItemRangeChanged(position, mDataSet.size());
holder.itemView.setVisibility(View.GONE);
}
Kotlin version
private fun deleteItem(position: Int) {
mDataSet.removeAt(position)
notifyItemRemoved(position)
notifyItemRangeChanged(position, mDataSet.size)
holder.itemView.visibility = View.GONE
}
The Problem
RecyclerView was built to display data in an efficient and responsive manner.
Usually you have a dataset which is passed to your adapter and is looped through to display your data.
Here your dataset is:
private ArrayList<String> mDataset;
The point is that RecyclerView is not connected to your dataset, and therefore is unaware of your dataset changes.
It just reads data once and displays it through your ViewHolder, but a change to your dataset will not propagate to your UI.
This means that whenever you make a deletion/addition on your data list, those changes won't be reflected to your RecyclerView directly. (i.e. you remove the item at index 5, but the 6th element remains in your recycler view).
A (old school) solution
RecyclerView exposes some methods for you to communicate your dataset changes, reflecting those changes directly on your list items.
The standard Android APIs allow you to bind the process of data removal (for the purpose of the question) with the process of View removal.
The methods we are talking about are:
notifyItemChanged(index: Int)
notifyItemInserted(index: Int)
notifyItemRemoved(index: Int)
notifyItemRangeChanged(startPosition: Int, itemCount: Int)
notifyItemRangeInserted(startPosition: Int, itemCount: Int)
notifyItemRangeRemoved(startPosition: Int, itemCount: Int)
A Complete (old school) Solution
If you don't properly specify what happens on each addition, change or removal of items, RecyclerView list items are animated unresponsively because of a lack of information about how to move the different views around the list.
The following code will allow RecyclerView to precisely play the animation with regards to the view that is being removed (And as a side note, it fixes any IndexOutOfBoundExceptions, marked by the stacktrace as "data inconsistency").
void remove(position: Int) {
dataset.removeAt(position)
notifyItemChanged(position)
notifyItemRangeRemoved(position, 1)
}
Under the hood, if we look into RecyclerView we can find documentation explaining that the second parameter we pass to notifyItemRangeRemoved is the number of items that are removed from the dataset, not the total number of items (As wrongly reported in some others information sources).
/**
* Notify any registered observers that the <code>itemCount</code> items previously
* located at <code>positionStart</code> have been removed from the data set. The items
* previously located at and after <code>positionStart + itemCount</code> may now be found
* at <code>oldPosition - itemCount</code>.
*
* <p>This is a structural change event. Representations of other existing items in the data
* set are still considered up to date and will not be rebound, though their positions
* may be altered.</p>
*
* #param positionStart Previous position of the first item that was removed
* #param itemCount Number of items removed from the data set
*/
public final void notifyItemRangeRemoved(int positionStart, int itemCount) {
mObservable.notifyItemRangeRemoved(positionStart, itemCount);
}
Open source solutions
You can let a library like FastAdapter, Epoxy or Groupie take care of the business, and even use an observable recycler view with data binding.
New ListAdapter
Google recently introduced a new way of writing the recycler view adapter, which works really well and supports reactive data.
It is a new approach and requires a bit of refactoring, but it is 100% worth switching to it, as it makes everything smoother.
here is the documentation, and here a medium article explaining it
Here are some visual supplemental examples. See my fuller answer for examples of adding and removing a range.
Add single item
Add "Pig" at index 2.
String item = "Pig";
int insertIndex = 2;
data.add(insertIndex, item);
adapter.notifyItemInserted(insertIndex);
Remove single item
Remove "Pig" from the list.
int removeIndex = 2;
data.remove(removeIndex);
adapter.notifyItemRemoved(removeIndex);
Possibly a duplicate answer but quite useful for me. You can implement the method given below in RecyclerView.Adapter<RecyclerView.ViewHolder>
and can use this method as per your requirements, I hope it will work for you
public void removeItem(#NonNull Object object) {
mDataSetList.remove(object);
notifyDataSetChanged();
}
I tried all the above answers, but inserting or removing items to recyclerview causes problem with the position in the dataSet. Ended up using delete(getAdapterPosition()); inside the viewHolder which worked great at finding the position of items.
The problem I had was I was removing an item from the list that was no longer associated with the adapter to make sure you are modifying the correct adapter you can implement a method like this in your adapter:
public void removeItemAtPosition(int position) {
items.remove(position);
}
And call it in your fragment or activity like this:
adapter.removeItemAtPosition(position);
public class MyAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<MyAdapter.MyViewHolder> {
private Context context;
private List<cardview_widgets> list;
public MyAdapter(Context context, List<cardview_widgets> list) {
this.context = context;
this.list = list;
}
#NonNull
#Override
public MyViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(#NonNull ViewGroup viewGroup, int i) {
View view = LayoutInflater.from(this.context).inflate(R.layout.fragment1_one_item,
viewGroup, false);
return new MyViewHolder(view);
}
public static class MyViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
TextView txtValue;
TextView txtCategory;
ImageView imgInorEx;
ImageView imgCategory;
TextView txtDate;
public MyViewHolder(#NonNull View itemView) {
super(itemView);
txtValue= itemView.findViewById(R.id.id_values);
txtCategory= itemView.findViewById(R.id.id_category);
imgInorEx= itemView.findViewById(R.id.id_inorex);
imgCategory= itemView.findViewById(R.id.id_imgcategory);
txtDate= itemView.findViewById(R.id.id_date);
}
}
#NonNull
#Override
public void onBindViewHolder(#NonNull final MyViewHolder myViewHolder, int i) {
myViewHolder.txtValue.setText(String.valueOf(list.get(i).getValuee()));
myViewHolder.txtCategory.setText(list.get(i).getCategory());
myViewHolder.imgInorEx.setBackgroundColor(list.get(i).getImg_inorex());
myViewHolder.imgCategory.setImageResource(list.get(i).getImg_category());
myViewHolder.txtDate.setText(list.get(i).getDate());
myViewHolder.itemView.setOnLongClickListener(new View.OnLongClickListener() {
#Override
public boolean onLongClick(View v) {
list.remove(myViewHolder.getAdapterPosition());
notifyDataSetChanged();
return false;
}
});
}
#Override
public int getItemCount() {
return list.size();
}}
i hope this help you.
if you want to remove item you should do this:
first remove item:
phones.remove(position);
in next step you should notify your recycler adapter that you remove an item by this code:
notifyItemRemoved(position);
notifyItemRangeChanged(position, phones.size());
but if you change an item do this:
first change a parameter of your object like this:
Service s = services.get(position);
s.done = "Cancel service";
services.set(position,s);
or new it like this :
Service s = new Service();
services.set(position,s);
then notify your recycler adapter that you modify an item by this code:
notifyItemChanged(position);
notifyItemRangeChanged(position, services.size());
hope helps you.
String str = arrayList.get(position);
arrayList.remove(str);
MyAdapter.this.notifyDataSetChanged();
To Method onBindViewHolder Write This Code
holder.remove.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
Cursor del=dbAdapter.ExecuteQ("delete from TblItem where Id="+values.get(position).getId());
values.remove(position);
notifyDataSetChanged();
}
});
Incase Anyone wants to implement something like this in Main class instead of Adapter class, you can use:
public void removeAt(int position) {
peopleListUser.remove(position);
friendsListRecycler.getAdapter().notifyItemRemoved(position);
friendsListRecycler.getAdapter().notifyItemRangeChanged(position, peopleListUser.size());
}
where friendsListRecycler is the Adapter name
you must to remove this item from arrayList of data
myDataset.remove(holder.getAdapterPosition());
notifyItemRemoved(holder.getAdapterPosition());
notifyItemRangeChanged(holder.getAdapterPosition(), getItemCount());
//////// set the position
holder.cancel.setTag(position);
///// click to remove an item from recycler view and an array list
holder.cancel.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
int positionToRemove = (int)view.getTag(); //get the position of the view to delete stored in the tag
mDataset.remove(positionToRemove);
notifyDataSetChanged();
}
});
make interface into custom adapter class and handling click event on recycler view..
onItemClickListner onItemClickListner;
public void setOnItemClickListner(CommentsAdapter.onItemClickListner onItemClickListner) {
this.onItemClickListner = onItemClickListner;
}
public interface onItemClickListner {
void onClick(Contact contact);//pass your object types.
}
#Override
public void onBindViewHolder(ItemViewHolder holder, int position) {
// below code handle click event on recycler view item.
holder.itemView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
onItemClickListner.onClick(mContectList.get(position));
}
});
}
after define adapter and bind into recycler view called below code..
adapter.setOnItemClickListner(new CommentsAdapter.onItemClickListner() {
#Override
public void onClick(Contact contact) {
contectList.remove(contectList.get(contectList.indexOf(contact)));
adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
}
});
}
In case you are wondering like I did where can we get the adapter position in the method getadapterposition(); its in viewholder object.so you have to put your code like this
mdataset.remove(holder.getadapterposition());
In the activity:
mAdapter.updateAt(pos, text, completed);
mAdapter.removeAt(pos);
In the your adapter:
void removeAt(int position) {
list.remove(position);
notifyItemRemoved(position);
notifyItemRangeChanged(position, list.size());
}
void updateAt(int position, String text, Boolean completed) {
TodoEntity todoEntity = list.get(position);
todoEntity.setText(text);
todoEntity.setCompleted(completed);
notifyItemChanged(position);
}
in 2022, after trying everything the whole internet given below is the answer
In MyViewHolder class
private myAdapter adapter;
inside MyViewHolder function initalise adapter
adapter = myAdapter.this
inside onclick
int position = getAdapterPosition()
list.remove(position);
adapter.notifyItemRemoved(position);
I have a web api that returns a list of user posts that includes the user's name, username, image, post, comments etc.
In my Android app, I have a ListView which contains these user posts. I used the ViewHolder patterns in the adapter to set this up.
Now inside every ListView item, I need to setup click listeners on the post, the userimage, name, comment etc. In the listener I need to get position of the ViewHolder so as to get the corresponding Object from my data. How do I do this?
Whenever you first inflate a view, in your adapter, where convertView == null, inflate your view row, then call findViewById on the new inflated view to get your child views and set up click listeners on them individually. A handy way to store the position that I use for my app is to get a view, and call setId() on the view, with the position. Then you can call getId() on the view when you need the position.
You can also define your own listener(s) in your adapter with your post (or its id/position) for argument. For example:
public interface OnPostClickListener {
void onUserImageClick(Post post);
void onUserNameClick(Post post);
...
}
private OnPostClickListener mListener;
public void setOnPostClickListener(OnPostClickListener listener) {
mListener = listener;
}
#Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
final Post post = getItem(position);
...
holder.userImage.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
if(mListener != null)
mListener.onUserImageClick(post);
}
});
holder.userName.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
if(mListener != null)
mListener.onUserNameClick(post);
}
});
...
}
And in your Activity:
mAdapter.setOnPostClickListener(new OnPostClickListener(){
#Override
public void onUserImageClick(Post post) {
// Do something
}
#Override
public void onUserNameClick(Post post) {
// Do something
}
});

Android - How to create clickable listview?
(5 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.
I currently have a ListView id=listview, which I am populating with an ArrayList id=myarraylist. Here is how I do it:
final ListView listview = (ListView) findViewById(android.R.id.list);
myarraylist = (ArrayList<String>) getArray();
adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, mylist);
myarraylist.add(...And then some other stuff I add...);
//This is the part I want to focus on
myarraylist.add("Reset High Scores");
adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
listview.setAdapter(adapter);
Now, I want the entry Reset High Scores in my ListView to be clickable, and when it is clicked, I want it to do Some Stuff. I know for buttons all you do is set an onClickListener
button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
..Some Stuff..
}
});
My question is, how can I make Some Stuff happen when the element Reset High Scores is clicked in the ListView
Edit: This is what I have so far
listview.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
#Override
String myString = (String) parent.getAdapter().getItem(position);
if(myString.equals("Clear High Scores")) {
//Stuff
}
}
});
ListView, just like Button, has the ability to set a click listener, but for ListView, the name of the method is setOnItemClickListener(). Instead of using OnClickListener, though, it uses a class called OnItemClickListener, which is more advantageous for using with ListView. The method looks as follows:
yourListView.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
#Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent,
View view, int position, long id)
{
// some stuff
}
}

Now the advantage of this is that you can check what's contained at the position you've pressed, so the way you could tackle your problem could look something like this:
yourListView.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
#Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent,
View view, int position, long id)
{
String myString = (String) parent.getAdapter().getItem(position);
if(myString.equals("Reset High Scores"))
{
// Do what you want
}
}
});
/**
* Creates a new instance
*/
public void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) {
// Notify the parent activity of selected item
super.onListItemClick(l, v, position, id);
//Do stuff
}
that should get ya started... Andrew is right though.
